For those of you who fly...
I have been flying around my two Ultra Micro planes from ParkZone lately... T-28 Trojan and P-51 Mustang.... Wanting to get something a little faster and more maneuverable, on Andy Kunz's recommendation, I picked up the new ParkZone F-27Q Stryker 180 Ultra Micro...

I flew it for the first time last Friday and all I can say is WOW! THIS IS MORE LIKE IT! Fast, handles great, and really FUN!
I'm working my way up to the point where I am capable enough to try my hand at EF1 Pylon racing. This is certainly a step in the right direction!
It was a little windy yesterday, which made the flying tricky, especially since it was a first flight and I don't have everything trimmed correctly, but I'm happy to say that after 6 or 7 take-offs and landings, everything is in one piece and, in fact, I only had a "rough" landing once... Every other one was smooth as silk!
If you guys want to get started flying... These UMX sized planes are perfect! Easy to transport, reasonably priced, and the more docile versions (T-28, etc.) are very forgiving.
I'm loving it!!
Now... if it would just handle floats...
