David Ashby - Moderator Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 Welcome Scully, well I guess you could look at a slow flying low-winger, perhaps one of Black Horse's popular types such as the Speed Air, Super Air etc.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Card Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 What about a Sebart Shark? Beginner-friendly handling and the ability to take you into the world or aerobatics. Looks are love-it or hate-it, but if you love it maybe it would be a good 2nd plane for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernie Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 Hi Scully, do you want a ready to fly, or would you like to build something? ernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted April 27, 2010 Author Share Posted April 27, 2010 thanks for the reply ernie but i would prefer artf .i can't believe there's not a high wing trainer type that doesn't look boxy . the only one i've seen was met with a sucking of teeth when mentioned to club mates . no names but it is abs construction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Ashby - Moderator Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 What about the Multiplex Mentor - lots of curves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggles' Elder Brother - Moderator Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 There are plenty of J3 Cubs and Cessna ARTF's around, any of those would be flyable by a pilot who is still learning. Both are high wing types and as they are scale (or more correctly "semi-scale") they look good. BEB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
