How easy are they to fly....easy if u can fly a sc then u could fly this.....but it wont take a crash as its made from depron.
It flys slow anuff probly same as a sc if not slower if u make it light

Depend entirely on how the plane is built, set up, and how proficient the pilot is. Got a buddy that can fly standard park planes pretty well. He saw us flying one of these types, got one, set it up poorly (his building and trim skills are not very good) so he can barely keep it in the air.
Set up right, not too difficult. Set up poorly they can be very twitchy. As indicated, made of depron they are also fragile as eggshells.

Note to self: buy enough depron for one or two several replacement parts.

Note to self: buy enough depron for one or two several replacement parts. Best way to start on this style of plane is get one, or make one out of EPP. They are more floppy and need stiffening with carbon but are significantly more crash resistant. Lots of possibilities with plans, build threads, and help in the Scratch build forum on RCGroups (and other places) |

Thanks, Flydiver, I'll have a look. Now that I have a standard TX, I'm itching for my next plane.
