I seem to have bought something!
It's not often that a man in a shop gives good advice and then sells you something lower down the price band, but that's what a bloke at the Sussex Model Centre did today. I went in for a ducted fan hawk and came out with a T28 Trojan. Odd? No not really, it's just with my limited experience with R/C it'll be a far safer bet!
So here's what I got...

Re: I seem to have bought something!
Agreed, good luck with that first flight.
Don't forget to kitbash and add retracts.

ha ha! As I'll probably wipe out the undercarriage on the first 'landing' that's not a bad idea!Chris Trott wrote:Agreed, good luck with that first flight.

Thanks guys

Re: I seem to have bought something!
Funny that, I've just spent the afternoon putting my Parkzone Spitfire together. It's the first time I've touched it since I got it as a christmas present last Dec (maybe something to do with a 4 month stint in Afghan). However, after watching a few vids of crashes on youtube, I'm a bit dubious about taking her up for her first flight. :flying:
Re: I seem to have bought something!
Sussex Models have done you a big favour there!
Better learning the easy way than the hard. I fly R/C, and have been doing for longer than I'd like to think about :o , I see the latest trends arriving at the local R/C club field and they seem to be getting more 'scale' http://alshobbies.com/shop/lookupstock. ... 7535&Desc=
However you need to have some experience to fly them, and if your thinking of scale, start with what you would think you could fly in full size, something like a Cub, then move on to the F-15 http://alshobbies.com/shop/lookupstock. ... 4922&Desc=
To find your local club, visit the British Model flying Association, http://www.bmfa.org/

Ooh, nice P-38
Fancy one of these though: http://alshobbies.com/shop/lookupstock. ... 4942&Desc= :flying:
Do you think that would be OK for a newbie

Hi John,
I can see you want a Hawk!
Ok to feed your enthusiaum http://www.airworld.online.de/Englisch/Index.htm
A very good example, and well out of my price range! However, I've got this http://www.belairdigital.co.uk/Productdetail.asp?Id=275 as my on going project.
Going back to the Hawk, I'm impressed with the atention to detail, for example, the undercarriage, which I know a bit about, is very close to the real,
Remember, the sky above you is useless, it's the sky below that matters!
