Default Home Needed for a Saito .91

Hey,
I've got a barely used Saito 91that used to inhabit a Fliton Extra 330, but that didn't end well... So I need somewhere to put it so I can learn 3D with the stability in winds of a non-foamy. and suggestions you could make would be very welcome
Thanks

A mojo .60 profile would work well. I'm quite partial to my Hangar 9 Showtime 50. Flies reaaaallllyyyyy awesome on a .91.

The postage to the UK combined with the IC conversion kit may make a bit too expensive, but it's worth considering; do you know any UK stockists?

There are for sure some UK distributors. There is a whole UK ExtremeFlight team.

If you search you can probably find some.

I would say the few extra bucks for this plane would be worth it. It flies MUCH bigger than it is.
Meaning.. if you learn to 3D well with this plane, your set for larger planes.

Hey, im in aberdeen and fly the extreme flight 58 extra with an os91 fs, its truly a blast to fly power is very good. I have a QQ50CC Yak, and gp yak 40cc but i just love flying the extra, its definately my quick fly plane too much fun for words.

Top of my list flies precision and 3D well (Im no expert though)

It does look really good, but the price is still worrying me... Any cheaper alternatives that come to mind?
Cheers

There is no replacement for a good product.

A man once said: "A man who buys a quality item crys one time, a man who buys a cheap item crys many times."

You've almost persuaded me; i've just taken the 91 out of the dead extra and apart from the pipe it's reminded me how lovely it is. It's still steep though, £240

There is always the Weston Hype, i used the mini hype as my low wing trainer. Its a good throw about plane will fly quite precise on low rates and 3D on higher rates. A good solid plane will fly in any wind you can throw at it, very stable and a breeze to fly!!

Id still go for the extra, but this would probably be a good second choice.

I had a Saito .91 in a Hangar 9 Funtana 40. The Funtana 50 is the same plane. Had a blast with that plane. I think I flew it with an APC 14X7. AWESOME!!!!
