I forget the original question, but people are posting
opinions on the Highlander so here it goes. I built a
Highlander as carefully as I could, I even replaced
the coroplast tail with 1/8 inch balsa and I couldn't
be happier. Managed to catch a serious thermal the
other day with it as well. And that is after some
*serious* abuse at my hands. The other thing I like
is it can handle a winch. I have heard of too many
Spirits dying on the winch, so I am sending my ARF
back before I build it. Maybe I will get a kit later
and build it for strength on my own.
This brings up another question (or questions) of
mine. I want to try out RES, two meter and Nostalgia.
I am planing on getting a Victory RES for, well, RES
and maybe a BOT for Nostalgia (if the current kit is
legal). But what is a good 2 meter for someone for a
first competition plane? A Kestrel 2M? I want
something that can deal with a winch that at least an
intermediate flyer can handle. Any RES/2M/Nostalgia
recommendations for the rank beginner are welcome.
For the short term, the Higlander has done well for
me.
