Hi Charliem

Before you can get any answers, we have some questions.

1) What is your skill level?
2) What kind of flying are you looking to do, just fly, aerobatic or 3D?
3) Are you looking for a floater or something fast

Most park flyers can handle 0-10 MPH winds

Regards
Ernie

I second that

I have been flying a hanger 9 alpha 60, Looking for something to fly in a smaller area, Just interested in flying no 3d slow and relaxing is what I am looking for

Well I was going to suggest an Extreme Flight 300E 45" Wingspan until you said "Slow and Relaxing" ...lol

I'd go with one of these or something similar (depends on what you like):

Flatouts Cub http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXPHM5&P=0
Yard Stick http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXEXK1&P=0
Electrifly Corsair http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXHPC0&P=0
GWS Park Flyer http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXHCR0&P=0
Sig Jenny http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXDUC6&P=0

Or the Sig Rascal EP is pretty nice if can tolerate a 49" Wingspan http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXZL41&P=0

[charliem]

Thanks : I'll check the suggestions out. Wing span doesn't bother me, Makes the plane easier to see

Most people I know that like slow and relaxed flying go with the slow stick by GWS. I had one and for a relaxing flight it's the best, have not seen anything better.

A Multiplex Easy Star is a nice trainer. At half throttle, it just cruises around. At full throttle, it will speed up, and handle winds much better than most park flyers. Yeah, it's a bit big for a park, but I've seen many people fly them in parks.

PARK ZONE T-28 RTF, i got to fly one of these the other day, and iv been flying for a few years..and can say this plane has nooo bad habits, and is very stable, it flys with very real, and positive control. on low rates any one would be able to learn scale flight with it. i may soon get one myself since 3 others have gotten one since they flown it,, formation flying in my near future hehe. good luck
mike

ps, also very long flight times with 1800mah +

[charliem]

The T -28 RTF looks interesting I think that I will check it out The price is not bad either.

Hi over there for everyone!
Charliem I have to tell Trojan is a goodlooking machine! It can be a qestion; -Do you want to buy it in full kit with transmitter or without them, and you choose its necessary components?
I have an other solution: If you feel novice, you can choose Multiplex airplanes. There are a lot of acceptable ones. EG. MiniMag or Magister and one of the best;-Gemini. All of them are well tried machines expect Gemini.

The T 28 Rocks. I have over 1000 flights on mine now. I have flown it in over 30mph winds with higher gusts. I have never handed over the sticks to any that gave me the radio back and said it was not awesome. Well worth the money. I hope to pick up a second one when they are back in stock. I got the PNP and run 2070 and 2200 Thunderpower batteries.

[sanyi1959]

Mc Carty , who is the maker, the factory of your T-28? Which machine is this? How long is the spannweite? Do you use it with electric brushless-engine?
