Stephen Grigg Posted February 1, 2009 Author Share Posted February 1, 2009 Im just finishing a Flair Cub and it has given me a bit of a WoW factor so it is becoming my favourite at the moment ,just hope it flies as well as it looks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Grigg Posted April 21, 2009 Author Share Posted April 21, 2009 Definitely for ease of flying ,to allow me to relax,and enjoy myself ,and in assisting me on getting my confidence back,it has to be the Multiplex Mentor.2 20 minute flights today,and I was happy for the instructor to help someone else and leave me on my own.A lot of interest from members of the club,1 who has purchased 1 to use as a Tug for the gliders.And when it lands, its as clean as when it took off, marvelous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myron Beaumont Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Stephen I've just installed an OS 52 fs (or is it 54 -bought second hand ) in mine .Not flown it yet .What do you have as a power plant ( hope it is not electric ).Wished I knew how to put a picture on here of my CUB with my camera / phone ! Just realised that when you said it's as clean as when you took off it's obviously not electric cos there would be scorch marks at least Myron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fog Dart Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 For me it has to be the MScomposit Swift 2 flying wing. The sheer bouncebackability that it posesses has taught me a great deal trying out new things that id be scared to with any of my other models. People moan about paying £30 or so for a couple of bits of foam that you glue together - but i have had way more than £30 worth of fun with it! There are a dozen of us with them at my club and we are having competition days with them, the first of which is this Saturday - Shame im at work!

GrumpyGnome Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Favourite for in the park - Fliton Rogue Favourite at the flying field - WOT4. Makes me smile whenever I fly it ............... GG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Hooper Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 It seems that some have a perennial favourite, and that some have had the same favourite for years! Mine tends to vary. At the moment it's a Keil Kraft Ladybird - probably because it's built from an original kit. This freeflighter has been uprated with electric power and simple radio control, and weighs in at around 20 oz. Perfect for touch'n'goes on a calm day! tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Grigg Posted April 22, 2009 Author Share Posted April 22, 2009 Thats a nice plane Tim.Mylon ,the MPX Mentor is electric the cub has aSC52 4 stroke.Saving up for the cleaning fluid and rags before I can fly the Cub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Grigg Posted February 9, 2010 Author Share Posted February 9, 2010 I have to update this thread by saying the my favorite and now demised model was the Hangar 9 Pulse xt 40 ARTF.very, very enjoyable model all round Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solid Snake Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 My favourite has to be my Buzz Lightning flying wing Easy to fly at high speed (90+mph) and stable at low speeds. Crashed many times and still works perfectly. Due to noise complaints from the horse owner at the bottom of our field (which is strange as it is purely an electric club and we never fly over her field) i havn't been able to fly it recently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Grigg Posted February 10, 2010 Author Share Posted February 10, 2010 Why donyt you record her horses farrting and making all those horsey noises they make fit a sound system and when you fly again have it on full blast and when she complains you can tell her its her horses she is hearing but your not compaining,job done high fives,sorry time for my tabletsEdited By Stephen Grigg on 10/02/2010 20:54:45 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Cotsford Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 in reality it is probably my little 28" span electric Lil'Bit flying wing. It's the one model that is always kept ready and gets taken to the field without thinking about it, and gets flown between taking up the 'real' models. It's just such a laugh, almost indestructible, fastish, highly manouverable yet really docile on low rates and throttle.Edited By Bob Cotsford on 13/02/2010 19:21:23 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Grigg Posted February 13, 2010 Author Share Posted February 13, 2010 A year on I realise what a difficult question I asked,there are so many diverse models to choose from from old design floaties to fast sportsters to acrobatic.you have to learn your level and what your comfortable with,and what you expect to get out of this great sporting hobby.Is it A relaxing evening floaty sitting in a chair or is it an adrenaline rush or both.

Biggles' Elder Brother - Moderator Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 You're right Stephen it is a difficult question! Something from the past? Or the one I'm building? The one you can only fly on calm summer evening? Or that one that always gets the heart beating just a little quicker? Taking all things into a account - I'm going to plum for my WOT4 Classic. Works all the time. Slow. Fast. Pottering around the circuit. Or practicing some aerobatics. It always brings a smile to my face BEB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Chaddock Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 For me it would have to be the Fokker Triplane in my avatar. Not RC of course but very scale (which I love doing) and it flew well too, so much so that I still have it - 4 decades later.

Stephen Grigg Posted February 13, 2010 Author Share Posted February 13, 2010 Now that is impressive Simon,my instrutor built this model last year and won the scale competition with it. at present doing the Flair Stearman but its so big he has struggled with it space wise.He has to wait until the better weather to finish it because he has to put the wrigging on and the only place to do it is outside.

Josip Vrandecic -Mes Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Dear ! When I read BEB's mail,I want to thank him for a nice description of hard question-Why we prefere some models.BEB's wa said :"THAT ONE THAT ALWAYS GETS THE HEART BEATING A LITTLE QUICKER ! " now is easy to select,for me offcoorse The winner is : Old semi scale Spitfire Vb (Leon -Taiwan),although, she is hard to flying,to fast and stubborn...but love is blind. best wishes for all Joe.
