Hi I'm Yoda aka Mike.
I'm just getting back into this awesome sport after a 'few' years absence! I am from across the Pond in the UK. My, how things have changed. I am a nitro / balsa guy and really resisting this new-fangled 'leccy' stuff but feel that with the aircraft I want next I'll have to go down that route. I am torn between the Precision Aerobatics Katana (looks more traditional) and the Addiction X (seems pretty able to do most stuff but not sure it isn't just a cool funfly!). I need something reasonable to learn on that will 'do' what I ask but not be too expensive whilst learning. It will probably be a 'next year' purchase when I have become better at the basic stuff.
Before I get into 3D I will have to hone my basic flying skills.... you know the straight and level things. I must be patient.... and practice, practice, practice.
It's great to find this site; so much info. I shall enjoy reading all the info here.
Thanks.
Hey "Yoda" here's my "pilot"for the EF 60" Laser- it's you! Lol
Cheers, welcome to the 3DRCF community.
A member of our club has an Addiction X and likes it. It is very limited as far as growth. Slow flight, harrier, hovering and harrier landing all great but that's about it. Repairability is tough with the labyrinth of CF everywhere. I have to plug the 60" EF airframes, particularly the Edge and Laser for ease of flying, versatility an durability. The Edge is more geared to high alpha and slow flying/ harriers, the Laser is an all around airframe from sport to unlimited Extreme Aerobatics (XA). Your imagination is the limit. We have 2 "seniors" (one late 60s and one over 80) flying Lasers and loving them. I fly the crap out of mine and watch Cody W. XA the baJesus our of his on a regular basis. Not trying to confuse you just that there are other, better (IMO) choices for an airframe you won't tire of quickly. Good luck!
