I have flown RC helicopters for about 4 years now. I fly mild 3d and I can control in all orientations and directions. I have a mini t28 that I fly. I also have a spitfire by park zone that I have a few flights on. I need landing practice. I have owned Gasser helis as well. Do you think I'm ready for this plane.
Thanks

I think you should be good to go, but I think Id make the first couple flight on a buddy cord in case something goes wrong.

You should be fine,the GP Big Stick flies and lands like a trainer,very floaty,yet has some aerobatic abilities also.H9 makes an Ultra Stick which is more aerobatic due to no dihedral and larger control surfaces,but I think it is only available in a .40 size.Might also look at the AMR line of sticks,they go up to around 20' wingspan.

Awesome thanks for the help. I sim a lot too in phoenix I have been working on landings with a stick look alike. Its a lot easier than spit fire. What engine do u think for stick. I love the Amer but I have never build a kit.

Your good to go. Everyone fly's my giant big stick. Mine is super overpowered with a 55cc twin and can hover etc.I let beginners fly it all the time. Set it up with flaps for even more fun.

I am now reading CA hinges are junk. Any thoughts

Yeah they are not greatest for gas planes. I've had a few crack and break off, your best bet replace them with Robarts http://secure.hobbyzone.com/catalog/...rt/ROB307.html

Is there enough wood behind hinge for those

Could a beginner builder build amr stick

Yes and yes. But the greatplanes giant stick is a very fun plane. I have an amr 80cc stick on my build list.

So what direction do u suggest. Thanks. And what motor and servos. I like digital and metel gears

i had this plane (my 1st gasser)with a zenoah G38 (magneto) and used Jr 8411 on elevator and rudder, and i also had flaps. very nice landing.

Texas RC planes has Sticks in all sizes. http://www.texasrcplanes.com/stickairplanes.html

Those Texas rc planes are nice. Any reviews

Ive had 2 of the texas airplanes sticks. They both flew great. They both shed the horrible covering in flight. They both met a young death 1 from ca hinges the other from a bad rx battery..The great planes stick is a much better plane.The covering isnt great but at least it stays on in flight. A g38 up to a 55cc twin is a good engine choice.( mine has the 55 twin) Servos anything from the hitec 645 to any flavor digital you like. I have had good luck with xq servos from Redwing RC. But have recently been using Savox.
