Re: From trainers to 35%?? I must be CRAZY!!!
Hello. I've been flying for a number of years, mostly glow, some gas, and I have a couple pretty high performance 25% size planes. I do have an old Diablo with a Quadra 52 I bought from a guy about 10 years ago. But I really would like to go into the larger, 100 inch span or more, 50 to 150 cc. size planes now. For me the bigger they are the more realistic they fly, and I'd have no fear of the actual flying part. The only thing is I'm a bit intimidated by what electronic gear I'll need. For example, I'd like to get one of the Hangar 9 35% Extra 260's. I'd use the DA-100 engine, and probably JR 8711 servos. But a lot of guys have voltage regulators, dual receivers, dual batteries, A123 batteries or Lipos, optical kill switches, 6 volt systems, etc. etc. I really need an education about all this other auxilliary stuff in these bigger and more expensive planes. Can any one advise me as to a good reading source to bring me up to speed on all this new stuff?
Thanks. Dick Byrnes Sellersville, PA |

Re: From trainers to 35%?? I must be CRAZY!!!
For those of you out there still trying to decide if Giant Scale is worth the risk! I can personally say it is well worth it!!! Flying a 15" park flyer is fun, but starting and flying a 30+lb plane is in a whole different league! For those of you still wondering, my flights went perfect! Without a hitch and I would recommend Giants to anyone, all though most should probably take the advice of others and seek help if its available!
