I dabbled in the entry-level hotline game for a brief time. I was flying a Hobby Lobby "Jerry" for a while. With a Aveox F10LMR, running 7 or 10 cells, it was a blast to fly. Not too hot, but still plenty of climb performance when propped for about 50 amps. As it turns out, I'm trying to sell my Jerry...

Hi All, Sorry for the delay in replying. Up to my ()*&$# in alligators! In answer to the following questions: 1. What's your budget? I'd like to keep the whole thing under $500 but also want a setup that will last. Prefer all composite over wood since I hope to take the plane on the road when I travel. I'll have the wife make up a holtiner pack to carry it in. Would also prefer a 2 piece wing. >2. What type of flying are you going to do, all aerobatics, all >thermalling or a mixture? I'd like to fly a mixture of aerobatics and some thermalling with a plane. I have plenty of power planes so I can get my aerobatic fix with them or on the slope. >3. What type of batteries are you going to be using? I'll use whatever's best for the plane that I choose. I have all different kinds of batteries and a Microlader charger that can reliably charge any kind of battery. >4. What type of area will you be flying in? Pretty much wide open spaces. The smallest space I would fly in would probably be the size of a soccer field. Again, thanks for all of your comments. Much appreciated.
