Lee Smalley Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 you might get bored with a pure trainer quit quickly, what about a kyosho calmato low winger (alpha 40 i think) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Harrison 579 Posted November 22, 2012 Author Share Posted November 22, 2012 I went with the Calmato alpha with an SC46 in the end, It's a really nice kit. It's only had one flight so far, Instructor did take off, dialled in 2 clicks of elevator trim and it then flew straight and level 'hands off'. He then handed me the Tx and I flew it around for a while before handing it back for landing. 1st impression......It flies really well and goes where you put. V precise compared to the arising star. Can't wait to fly it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Cummings Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Thanks Mark, my squadron leader has cast his eye over it and has given the thumbs up, I've got a 46 to go in it, just need to get paid now, my Christmas pressie to me I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Cummings Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Hi Mark Can I ask where you got yours from, Sussex are out of stock dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Harrison 579 Posted November 22, 2012 Author Share Posted November 22, 2012 Dave, Mine was from Steve Webb models. FYI the instructions show to put the Rx battery in the servo compartment, this puts the CoG too far back. I put mine under the panel that the fuel tank sits on. You'll need a y lead and 2 200mm extension leads. No glueing required, it all screws together. Looks nice too. Mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
