I recently got my wings. But have been flying a lot so I think I am a bit better than beginner pilot - most likely intermediate

I am already freaking out about what I am going to do in the winter. I have a really big park by the school right across the road from where I live and I am thinking of getting a park flyer. There's so much to choose from I havn't got a clue where to start

Any suggestion would be appreciated

Thanks
Jack

Parkzone Super Cub with lipos, amazing little flyer. Going to fit mine with little skis.

How much you looking to spend ?
Do you own any lipo batteries? and Charger ?
Do you have a TX and RX or you want something RTF ?

Yeah Jack,

Agree with Bill the Parkzone Super Cub is awsome . They now have a float kit out too
I saw in the store the other day. The other parkzone kits are awsome also. The T-28
Trojan is also a fun flyer and sorta scale warbird lookalike.

Thanks folks. I don't have any batteries, chargers etc. Will have to invest. But do have a SPektrum TX and RX

Do you think I will outgrow the cub? Or is it an all-time fun flyer?

Also I was thinking of the mini stick from eflite I just saw ... thoughts?

There is also the mini-pulse from eflie but that may be a bit much for a park flyer but not sure

Jack if you are at the field today, Rod will have his eflite stick there.
Its an awesome little flyer. But it uses up a fair amount of airspace pretty quick.

yeah i was looking at the mini stick but it seem real fast for a park flyer?

I saw a bunch of planes from eflite that I liked, mini pulse, beaver and taylor craft. Once i figure out what plane to buy I need to figure out motors, servo's batteries etc

Hi there
How much you looking to spend ?
I would say if you want inexpensive fun get a foam ARF from Nitro Planes change out some stuff if you want to and just go have fun at the local park !! For under $300 you will get everything and you will have a blast !

On the other hand if the field is large and you want to spend more but get more and get something that can take a few tumbles without falling apart but will fly like a dream and do anything you throw at it get yourself a multiplex/hitec Acromaster. It flies well in windy and calm air and it transports easily! You will learn a lot from it it can be calm and slow or wild and fast ..But it will cost you more. Although the lipos you get for it will be a good size for lots of models including 400 size helis ( 3s 2200Mah 25-35c).

Lastly if you plan to fly in Winter an all foam plane is great, a little snow can not damage it just watch the electronics !
My 10cents : )
Good luck.

After 400+ flights on the GWS Formosa, I can say that it is still fun to fly. It lands easy, and a beginner can fly it, but it can do enough stunting to keep you interested. It only costs $43 at some places, and if you do decide to get one, go silver Axi 2212/26, get it with a stick mount, and use Hobby City 1300 3cell lipos. You will need a 20 amp speed control, and the eflite ones work and are cheap too. The foam on mine gets a bit stiff in winter, but no big problem.
