Hanger 9 or Top Flite B-25?

sgoen · 10-28-2007, 06:25 AM

I am looking at getting either the Hanger 9 or Top Flite B-25. If I did the Hanger 9 I would gop electric, but if I did the Top Flite I would got OS .70 4 stroke. Has any one seen either plane? What do you think about either plane? The Top Flite B-25 WS is 88.5" while the Hanger 9 WS is 80". Two thinks I really like about the Top Flite is the wing seperates in 4 pieces and the Tail comes off, while the Hanger 9 seperates in two pieces at the center of the wing.

Both very good looking planes and very well made, i read the ariticals about both of them on Model air planes news and they had very good comments, both, now as for the decision i made its only because of the color scheme H9 has, its more "alive" and you can see it from far.

I got to see both of them fly together at the doggs fun-fly in ohio and they both looked great but I think the H9 looked little more scale.

Model Air Plane News ALWAYS has very good comments on anything they review. Not likely to get an honest review pointing out any problem area from M.A.N. Everything is always wonderful and teriffic in thier reviews. That has been my experience.

H9. They are both almost the same size and wieght wise so I see no reason why Top Flite should charge 700 when H9 gets around with 400.

H9. The electric option will make it far simpler and more relaxing to get together and fly I think.

But still you could convert the Top Flite to electric, it's mainly the price that does it for me.

Thanks you for all of your help, I ordered the Top Flite B-25 yesterday. I have several reasons why I went with top flite, mainly because the wing comes off in 4 pieces and the tail comes off. RC Universe has a great form on this plane.

The wing on the H9 is 2-piece and the tail also comes off BTW.
