Variable Pitch prop?

I don't know of any 6-inch ones, and wouldn't that need another channel?

Modify the wings and add ailerons, then use them as spoilerons to decrease lift while landing. A little bit of work, but Ailerons are fun to have anyways. :)

I have used the Nexstar with much success. It is very stable and forgiving in flight. I learned to fly on it and then I made it into my favorite UAV. Leave the flap things on though, they keep things stable. Just my $0.02. Oh, and joining a local rc club is a good idea too. They offer a lot of support for new rc pilots.

I might suggest something electric, made of foam, it's cheap, easy to fix at the field, and electric is fun.

There are a bunch of foamys, I like the MS Composite stuff, but there are many others out there.

Balsa is just so much less forgiving.

Thanks Ed,

yeah, I'm going to do a foam twin boom, electric based on Tim's design.
