Hi

[Paul E. Wogg]

Paul here
I first started 40 years ago flying control line....still dizzy
I did free flight for a while ... Age 10 on, building balsa kits, great learning experience,
Then I discovered music, been playing bass in bands since
One year ago, I picked up a Cub micro on a hoot, and I got hooked again,
I hope to stop by soon and learn more about the evolution of this great hobby,
Electric sure has made it more user friendly,
Cheers,

Welcome aboard Paul

My first kit eons ago was a control line chipmunk. Did three circuits and then the gravel road won

Started RC as a nitro guy 15 years or so ago. Just got back in recently and went electric.

My first electric plane had more foam than the box that came w my big screen TV

Thank you for the welcome,
My first C/L was a green spitfire hand me down, way too fast...but if big brother could do it.......
Lots of great information here, lots to learn!

I wish I had more time, but my little guy had to go....
Hope to stop again soon,

Until now, I have been flying strictly micro's for the last 2 years
Cub
Trojan T-28
Mustang

I am looking now for a larger plane,
I would like a high wing, and am considering the Stinson SR-10

My micro's I can drive into the ground and pick up and fly again,

So I am looking for a mild mannered larger plane, but would like to have the continued learning ability the Stinson offers. And would prefer to have ailerons.

Am I out of my league with this one?

Appreciate any and all advice,
Thanks,
Paul

If you feel you've mastered the micros, then you should have no problem with the PZ Stinson. From what I've gathered it is a very good aileron trainer.

The usual recommendation is the regular size T-28. I don't think there much to choose from between the two as far as performance goes. I have not flown either one, so I can't really say for sure.

Nice thing about the Stinson is that it's already setup for flaps (just add servos). Do you have a Tx for it already?

Yes,
I have both dx5 and dx8 as I knew the basis hardware was important for future expansion...and changing trims between planes was more than annoying....so I advanced to dx8.

I considered the Trojan, but felt high wing was the better option for my skill level....I struggle with the mustang...lawn dart...but wind is a big factor..and cause..I hope

I still consider myself less than a newbie ... And Joining with you all will help I'm sure.

Thank you for the reply.

Hi Paul

Another good plane to advance with is the Multiplex Funcub (Google it - lot's of posts and videos). It's large wheel work great with our grass field. In addition it has lots of power if you get into trouble. It is also equipped w flaps. It's 56 inch wing span makes it very easy to see. The cub profile makes it docile and it has enough power to be do basic aerobatics once you feel more confident. That's how I got back into the hobby.

Wing is in two pieces for ease of transportation, but I glued them together just to make it easier at the field

Remember to have fun

Thank you ...
I drove down to rc wings this am and relieved their inventory of the Reliant
I was undecided until another nice fellow walked in and had bought one as well earlier this year, and recommended it also.
Putting it together this weekend, when wife and kids allow
I decided to go ahead with the flaps option as well...
Picked up a spare batt too
Will be signing up for MAAC today,

Then I will be looking for a buddy to help me not crash and burn the first time. , and praying for some good weather
