    Twisted hobby’s kits are the absolute bomb. Yea they’re expensive and you can scratch build one or buy some other brand cheaper. Been there, done that. but dude. It’s so worth it. The crack yak lite flies like a dream. I purpose-designed and scratch built my own foamy to fly just like that back in the day but I spent many hours doing it. When I flew the crack yak lite and realized it flew just the way I wanted with 1/3 of the build time I was hooked. West Michigan park flyers are pretty awesome too. Though slightly less refined in the build and fitment category, their yak 55 flies killer. And it still builds straight pretty dang easy.

    I’m Ryan and I need your help. My dream when I was younger was to fly Rc airliners but I could never afford it. Now I’m 15 and I’m saving up for the al37 from motion Rc. I asked another KZreadr jays Rc garage if I should get it and he said I should get one more plane that had retracts and flaps before I dive into airliners. I previously flew the apprentice s which I mastered on experience mode, the umx timber original, the twin otter umx, the champ, and I flew the umx citation a little bit. Do you think I should get the al37? I already bought a livery for it but I don’t know if I should commit to purchasing the airliner along with an nx6, a 6s lipo and a receiver. I have the dx63 but Nx6 is way better from what I’ve heard you say and I like how it talks to you. I really want your opinion. If you don’t think I should get the al37 what’s another plane I should get before I move up to the airliner? I was thinking maybe the viper v2 from fms but I trust your judgement way more than mine.

  • @TailHeavyProductions

    @TailHeavyProductions

    4 ай бұрын

    Hey Ryan! Sounds like you're beginning to gain some good experience. I'd suggest something like the Habu to start before going to the AL-37. Fly it so much that you become tired of it...then consider the AL-37. Just be aware that with the AL-37, if you get slow and keep loading up the wing (aka adding more up elevator and in a turn especially) - it will likely drop a wing. If a wing drops and you pull up or roll opposite of which wing drops, you can guarantee it'll end up in the weeds. Watch our video on stalls for more info on how to approach upset (stall/spin) prevention and recovery. Practice purposely trying to drop a wing a bunch and recovering up high with all your planes including the Habu and I'm sure you'll do well. -Zach

    The Viper V2 is not a beginner friendly plane despite what some folks seem to be implying. It also will drop a wing on you. Watch our review on it. I'd suggest the Habu over it. The door will open to buying planes that look good once you master the Habu. 😁
