Figure I'll help out with this forum a little....
I've been flying R/C aircraft for about 3 years. Started with helicopters (yes, backwards, should start with fixed wing) but recently I've become interested in airplanes. I'm starting with cheap foam models as I expect I will destroy a few before I get good enough to get a nice plane. But I do enjoy a nice scale looking plane. I started with a Cessna 210, then moved to a Piper Cub. Both were 3 channel planes (Meaning no ailerons).
Last week I picked up this T-28 to be my first 4 channel plane. I should maiden her sometime this week, just need to wait for a day with low wind.
To answer some basic questions that I hear at the park....
It is electric.
It will fly further than my eyes can see it.
It should fly about 15 minutes on one battery.
A battery takes an hour to charge.
It cost about $200.
Wingspan is 44"
It should go 20-40mph.
It's not ideal as a first plane, but people I've talked to said it flies good.
