Bixler 2

[Knackered Sailor]

Just arrived today a Bixler 2. Having seen a few videos of this I liked the idea of being able to 'get up there' and glide around for a while. I think I'm more a scale flyer than a warbird devotee. 

I'm getting on really well with the Sport Cub and next time out intend to try a loop and some rolls.

I have two v1.1 Bixlers and they are both great fun to fly. I added wheels to both of mine, but it is not actually mecessary. The Watts flyer site and RC groups sites are great for information on them and they are so easy to modify as you wish. Nothing interchanges with your SC though, as far as pins and connectors for batteries and such.

In my swirling wind field and Interstate so close, I would not try to Soar there.

I like the looks of the bix...just not my kind of plane.

I did consider one, as I thought it would be great for those lazy afternoons They look like a great plane and am looking forward to hearing about it.

But my next is going to be a bit of a quantum leap - I'm going for an E-flite Bonanza. A wooden plane, thats properly scale. I'm terrified of a very expensive plane hitting the ground hard, but I think I'm ready. Looking forward to learning about flying a much heavier craft.

Just had a look at it and VERY nice. Piloting a low wing craft is very different from a trainer but good luck looks great.

Those Bi9xler decals on them come off very easy though.
