adolf hamster Posted October 26, 2008 Author Share Posted October 26, 2008 well just been talking to guy at lhs, hes given me the details of one of the clubs. interestingly he seems to think nitro is better for planes than electric. he also reccommended the prangster although he put a price tag of about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rustybasher Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 hmm weird i cant see the benifits of nitro other than not having to charge battery packs up but then again you have the rx pack to still charge and some clubs dont allow nitro planes fly due to noise restrictions oh well guess he knows best hehe. wow 300 for the prangster thats a tad steep aint it i learned to fly using a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adolf hamster Posted October 26, 2008 Author Share Posted October 26, 2008 i can see the validity of what he is saying, i'm going to learn to fly first then proceed from there. i might end up with a high winger but only if i have to. the electric vs nitro thing is that if you crash an electric you could damage the battery pack as well as it being harder to fault find electrics.
