This RC-plane looks good to me haha!   Moreover, it's electrical, hmm, great! Save the Earth haha. ( Anyway, I suppose the common type of RC-plane uses some kind of fuel, am I right?) :%

[EHM-0948 Bruno]

Well, the electrical is the best for you to start, because the airplane dont move too fast and you can learn how to handle it

Later, you can change to the methanol one ...

[EHM-1821 Javier]

Man I wish i had one! (Then i could launch it out my window, let it drop to gain airspeed and fly off :])

Be sure to have someone taking photos or a video of that first flight for you

[EHM-0948 Bruno]

Hi Javier,

Well, if you want to see me crashing it, then yes, I can record my first video ...

[EHM-0948 Bruno]

well, I made my first flight and .. it didn't went fine

Unfortunately in the middle of it (it was going good) onde of the servo's electrical connection unplugged and I lost the horizontal rudder ....

... it sunk into ground and the propeller crashed a bit ... going to the shop tomorrow to replace it ...

I wish I had gotton a simple airplane rather than this last birthday:

I am a terrible model helicopter pilot...but I'm working on it :].

Have fun and welcome to the money pit that is RC aircraft :].

[EHM-0948 Bruno]

hahaha, you're right Ted

I was down the store to by a new piece for the airplane and it was going to cost me 11 Euros. Then I asked for the price for another battery, and was 50 Euros ...

... I didn't bought the battery, and I fixed the piece myself

[EHM-0948 Bruno]

... And after some test flights it crashed so many times that now I need to buy a complete new fuselage ...

... but I am getting there! LOL ... I was unlucky because the top wing disconnected from the body in the middle of a flight ... :o:o:o:o:o:o

Tomorrow going to buy the fuselage ... cost 45 Euros.

[EHM-1821 Javier]

Oh my, How many Gs did you pull in the C182?! :]

[EHM-2394 Martin]

Ive got one of those to, but i had problems with mine, it only wanted to turn to the left until it was so far away i lost it and crashed:P Now its hanging in the roof of my room, cause there its at least flying;D

[EHM-0948 Bruno]

Hi mates,

Just want to say to all of you that I am in total control of the airplane!

I already do some 8's, circles, low passes, etc Going to develop a video to show you all

Now, here is my next challenge : http://www.protech.be/html/t0432sr22.html

Going to buy it in February

[EHM-2387 Eric-Jan]

WOW, I love the SR-22

And, congratulations on your PPL for the cessna. In only 3 weeks!

Cheers!
Eric-Jan

[EHM-0948 Bruno]

haha, yeap, 3 weeks and I am flying perfectly.

The problem on this Cessna is that he flies too low (yes, now I see it's too low, although at the beginning it was too fast!) and also it doesn't have ailerons, only rudder so it takes some time to change direction... This new Cirrus is completely different

Also, the Cirrus is a "low wing" airplane, so we can actually do some aerobatic maneuvers with it, and the brushless engine is 3x times more powerful than the one I have on the Kyosho
