I'm thinking about the real simple ones with just throttle and rudder. I
want something I can fly with the kids in the schoolyard across the street. Maybe the electric ones will do this satisfactorily, but I doubt it. Before taking up flying "for real" I flew a "rudder-only" gas-powered model, and discovered that -- just like a "real" airplane -- having rudder as your only control for turning is extremely inadequate. I will also "second" the notion that flying one is more difficult than the real thing. Having the controls reversed on you every two minutes (as the plane would fly toward you) was extremely difficult to master. Many crashes -- and several stitches -- later, I decided to do something safer, like flying INSIDE the planes. ;-) -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |
