That is the question from my friend Kali, I know that this means a system complete ready to fly. I happen to like the Park Zone products.
Both the airplanes shown in the picture on the left are popular at my flying field. I own the airplane in the background and it has a 36" wingspan and it is fun to fly around, however it is out of the desired price range. the T-28 shown in the foreground is a ParkZone "Ultra Micro" with a 16.8" wingspan. You can buy the complete system shown for $129.00. The system is shown below and includes an airplane with speed control and motor installed, servos and removable landing gear, transmitter, batteries and charger.
I have seen a number of people flying the "Ultra Micro"model and having a blast. I think it would be a good choice, and it is so light that it can withstand a bad landing or crash! check out this video.
I am also including a few other choices that fit your price range that might be more your taste in style.
The P-51 warbird also $129 complete.
The J-3 Cub for $119 if you like civilian looking airplanes.
And finally the Night Vapor setup which sells for $129.
Looks cool flying at night but that is a pretty flimsy airplane so it better be pretty calm. From what I have seen the Warbirds fly much better.
Hope the information is helpful.
The above link is for ParkZone.
My next entry is going to be a head to head video comparison of fiberglassing and painting of model airplane parts comparing epoxy resin vs. polyesther resin,
Stay tuned
Gary,
ReplyDeleteIt's great to see someone recommend ways people can get started.
I'll add my recommendation of the HobbyZone Aeronca Champ to the mix. I have the Vapor, but have almost completely switched to the Champ for a relaxing time at the field.
Kee up the posts. I'm going to add your link to the newsletter. Let's see if we can't get a few more followers for you.
