Title: What's my best option for a beginner 3D plane
Post by: FlyJoe on March 01, 2012, 06:56:01 AM
what's the best option for a beginner 3D plane.

Something that's easy to:
*Find
*Setup
*Learn the nuances of 3D flying
*Forgiving enough to remain 3D and not 2D design  :giggle:
*On the pocket  ;D
and
something that's a decent size.

Please advice on electrics too.

Thanks

This is a great choice, from what I can see on our field :

You may need to tweak the rudder throw a bit (to get more deflection).

My suggestion is Techone Piaget EPP.
It is superb stable and slow flyer and crash resistant as it is made of EPP. I also got this to learn some serious 3D. You can get it from rcforall.

What qualities in a plane marks it as a 3D plane?
One's that I know of is, it has a very large deflecting surface areas, thrust is more than (1:1). What else ?

Any idea if our LHS stock this model?
I should ask Gusty where he picked up the YAK

how about any one of these - http://www.rcbazaar.com/category/137-3d-planes.aspx

Here you go : http://www.ebay.in/itm/YAK-54-Beginners-3D-plane-COMBO-TECHONE-/150623154532?pt=IN_Toys&hash=item2311d6f164#ht_2591wt_905 I was eyeing this plane for a long time. Rcforall has this listed on their ebay shop but not on their website. There are only 2 available so buy it before it is gone.
