Default What Plane?

What level pilot are you? Beginner or advanced pilot. Just a guess, 70 to 80". You can't go wrong with an Extra 300 or 100" Cub. Give us something to go on...Jim

You sound like your interested in scale. Remember those old scale models MAY be a hand full to fly....Jim

The 35 would be ideal in the 1/4 scale Pup or Neuport. I've got a
35 Quadra (same engine) in an 82" sport plane like the Stinger
but with a double taper wing. It pulls the plane fine but is not
super snappy to do the 3D stuff. Another good kit would be the
Super Cub from DynaFlite. If you build any plane light to fit in the
12 to 14 lb. range, the 35 would work. If you do ARF's, the new
Great Planes 1/3 Pitts would fly alright but not at neck breaking
speed. This would be at more scale speed than what the current
pilots seem to like. One more ARF would be the H9 Taylorcraft.

Default DynaFlite Decathlon

There's been alot of posts that this is a good combo. I am building one now for my Q35 and the plane goes together pretty nice.
