[NSRCA-discussion] 30 Size pratice planes

[Bryan Kennedy]

I highly recommend the Vanquish. Extreme Flight RC sells this fantastic
small, fully capable pattern plane. Also the wings are removable and RC
Aerobatics.com has some very nice small wing bags that work well for the
Vanquish.
 
Regards

Bryan

I ordered a Vanquish with the standard power system from EF.
 
What's the best battery and prop for 6-7 min FAI practice?

Colin, I've not flown any of the others besides the Flitons. 
 
I'd heartily recommend the Vanquish. The awkward landing gear is fixed
by quickly re-drilling the holes in the landing gear legs. The toe-out
is not supposed to be there (quite obviously). At least the gear is
strong and requires no reinforcement to stay strong!
 
Build the airplane as recommended with the stock power system and put a
washer under the left motor mount tabs to give it some right thrust. 
 
I've had two and found that it needs a small amount of rudder to aileron
mix to get rid of all coupling. 
 
I love the Flitons as well, however as you mentioned, they have their
problems. 
 
All that being said, I would not fly any of the planes on your list in a
local park.........

Hello all
 
I'm trying to get some pattern flyer feedback on the some of the 30 size
practice planes out there. I have a 10 sized (Inspire Mini) thats great
for the local park when there is no wind but I would like something a
bit larger that can be flown at the flying field on typical fall/early
winter days (so some wind will be a factor).
 
I have looked at the Element 30, Aspera, Vanquish and the new Angel 30.
 
The Element is the largest and has cool features like an airfoiled stab
and fin but may require some mods due to the usual Fliton issues, the
Angel looks amazing but is ridiculously expensive, the Aspera is a bit
small and does not have a "tall body", the Vanquish has awkward looking
L'gear.....none perfect but which is the best for pattern/FAI practice?
 
Unfortunately most of the set-ups, reviews and comments on RCU and RCG
are from 3D'ers who tend to overpower the airplanes or want 15min
flights. They all seem to want to "ping" out of a hover...whatever that
means.
 
Are any of these in use for FAI practice and what choices for
power/batteries best emulate the current crop of 2M planes? 
 
I am particularly interested in the Element. If anyone has flown it I
would appreacite your comments.
 
Thanks much
Colin.
