    First attempt @ 3d

    I've been flying helis for the last 2 years so orientation isn't a problem and I've been simming like madman for the last couple of months (exclusively fixed wing). Thanks for the offer AK I'll get back to you on that one. I've got to wait until the new year before I get anymore aircraft.

    First attempt @ 3d

    I've been into helps for about two years. And took the plunge in to fixed wing this summer. After a lot of sin time I've finally had the nerve to try some 3d. This is about my 30th fixed wing flight. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2OVDByz_8Jg

    noob looking for advice

    ive already got some components that i think would be suitable for the 42" slick. 3x savox sh-0257 (need to order one more) they are 2.1g heavier than the hitec 5065mg with the same torque but quite a bit faster A YGE 60amp LV esc (35g) with sbec @5.5v i know this is over kill but i have it...

    noob looking for advice

    Thanks for the input guys. Out of the four my favourite is the slick (looks alone). Theres no point asking the other half, she will say none of them are pink. So I will order a slick after the weekend.
