MAJOR HELP NEEDED!!!!!!

[Mack]

Hi guys,
My dad has been practicing on the sim for some time now(G3.5). He is currently past flying the trainer and enjoys some of the bips/yaks. His B-Day[:-] is coming up in february and there are numerous planes i am thinking of getting him, but unfortunatly i can only pic one.
Note most of these planes(arfs) will be poered with a DA-50.
Great Planes:
-Giant Aeromaster
-Giant U-Can-Do
-Ultamite Bip
-Giant Big Stck
-Super Sportster
Sig:
-Giant Kadet Senior
-110 Rascal

hey. mack get a yak!

[rmothers]

Consider the super skybolt its a really nice flying plane. If he likes bipes

[Jaybird]

None of them. Get a 40 sized trainer. Save the DA for later.

[Mike c.]

It would be good idea to start with a trainer first, don't wanna get in too deep.

i say get him a ultra stick and see how he does. then if he likes and wants better then shell out the bucks. the ultra stick is a great flying plane for someone that dosent want a trainer. that plane will do almost anything that can be done but, without the price to start.

I would go with the big stick, its easy to fly and trikes land easy. I agree save the 50cc for later

trust everyone. dont get the gas giants right now. They are to expensive and to dangerous to be messing arround with by a non experenced pilot(no offence).if he wants to start flyin 3-d, get him a glow plane.

[extra330s(cody)]

for right now

[tec]

For $300 bucks you can get your dad a Trainer RTF from Tower Hobbies, thats half of a DA that you guys don't need yet.

yeah glow first. Then move to the giant scale. stiks are nice. I hear the super sportsters are a great flying plane to.

[Mack]

Ok thanks guys! I did buy him a super sporster for one reason...quality time ! He might not learn as fast, but i will be beside him with him hooked up to the buddy box the whole time!

I wil put an evolution 26gt2 in it, with an 18x6 prop!

[Mack]

Remember bigger flys better but not nessecarly easier !

Also my moto is: If you have the money, why not. lol

[kmrbrown]

everbody crashes once

I would have to agree with that. I started on the sim and could fly/land just about any plane after a month or so. My first plane is a 50 class Yak (52 inch wing), with a .56 glow. To be honest, I would get a couple fomies to start him out on that aren't to hard to fly. If he crashes, all that is needed is a little CA. After he can fly a fomie then go with a glow. Then you can move into gas. If you crash a fomie it cost nothing, if you crash a glow maybe 70-200 USD, if you crash anything with a DA 50 on on the front of it your looking at 400-1,300 for the plane. I think fomies are a blast personally. I can't wait until I load my first 50cc though, hoping within two/three months.
