Jamie sawyer Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Hi everyone, I just joined the forum tonight. I have been flying models for some 20-24 years now so I am not a beginner but I do have some questions to ask if everyone could give there opinion. I have built quite a number of models now and flown everything from basic trainer to fully airobatic models. Helicopters are also part of the flying thing but I want to buy myself a large high winger preferably for airial photography or taking video clips. I have noticed the T24o has hit the market again and at 95 inch wing span hits the size target that I was looking for. Link below . **LINK** If there are other good alternatives please say as I have heard that the T240 is a bit of a brick to fly but this may be untrue ?? Thanks for reading and any replys thanks Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggles' Elder Brother - Moderator Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Welcome to the forum Jamie! I seem to remeber Weasel having one of these - or was I dreaming? Any of the NE guys know? BEB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Jones Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 A friend of mine used a T240 very succesfully - I'll see if I can root out some video. It wasn't a bad flyer - basically it flies like it looks - robust and steady. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Jones Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Here we go, first the T240(listen to the dialogue at the end ): A compilation including some airborne video: Hopefully the videos will at least give you an idea of how it was.

Jamie sawyer Posted August 10, 2013 Author Share Posted August 10, 2013 Thanks for the videos Ian. Funny as I actually seen them on youtube last night. Its an ugly plane I think but robust looking. I learnt to fly on a Precedent aircraft which was the Flyboy which I dont think you can get anymore either. I have also seen a sig Piper J3 Cub which is 1/4 scale but it is a scale model and building time will be doubled probably compared to the T240. The Piper Cub is £30 less though. I'm having a problem making a decision here .......... **LINK** The Piper cub is 10 inches bigger that the T240 at 95 inches. Video below.. **LINK** I'll need to have a good think about this. Anyway I'm off flying in a wee while. Maybe that'll help Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Jones Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 I would expect the T240 to be easier to fly, particularly at low speeds which may make it more suitable for the purpose you have in mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
