Greetings everone, long-term novice here, new to the forum.
I've been an RC aircraft enthusiast for over 3 decades. My first RC plane in the early 90's was an RTF KB Toys model I ended up destroying within a few weeks by flying head-on into a wall due to a dying battery. Through the years I've gone through a good number of other toy/hobby store "cheapo" aircraft, finally evolving to buying a nitroplanes edf A-10 around 2009. It was under-powered as it came RTF but was extremely fun. Death by bored dog. I'm burned out on the whole quadcopter scene, even FPV, fixed-wing is my thing.
I picked up *another* cheapo off amazon recently, xk a-100 (SU-27 with twin vairable thrust and elevator) 3 channel as a trainer to get back into the game. I've done really good with it, after over 2 dozen flights I've only had a few minor crashes:
Flipped while landing on a rough surface and catching a strong wind gust (small plane),
Did a loop-de-loop too low,
Wasn't able to avoid a tree due to low battery,
Cheapo landing gear failed and flipped the plane upon landing.
All issues mostly related to it's small size and flying around my house.
I just ordered the freewing 64mm edf A-10 PNP, I want to build this up as a super-stable park flyer. Could really use advice on which tx/rx, gyro, and batteries are best suited for this. Would really like SAFE or similar function, and 6 channel as I inyend on having operable flaps.
