I've added these items to your "ideas" to the right. Do you see them? (can you click them to see details?)
ok is the duet able to take a crash
Joe C.
in tall grass yes it is quite durable
is it able to go inverted or do loops
Joe C.
it can do loops but sustained inverted isn't that easy
with skill you can barely do it
thats ok he does notneed to go inverted
Joe C.
;-)
not need
Joe C.
right
what about the sport cub
Joe C.
that is much more capable and easy to fly
because it offer the SAFE system
are you familar with SAFE?
yes
Joe C.
great
duet does not offer SAFE
sport cub s does
(hence price difference)
ok does the sport cub fly inverted
Joe C.
yes it can
ok
Joe C.
:-)
does it come with every thing u need
Joe C.
yes
but most guys get a few extra batteries
they're only $4 ea
how long does it take for it to charge with charger it comes with
Joe C.
about 45 mins
all chargers will take that long
standard rate
is it just a wall charge
Joe C.
most lipo batteries use the "1C" charge rate
which means about 1 hour
faster charge requires a more expensive battery with a higher rating
none in this size
thats fine
can we fly in wind
Joe C.
up to 5 mph
more than that and you need a bigger plane
liket he apprentice
or delta ray
or super cub s
no i think thats fine
Joe C.
ok
can we get floats for the sport cub
Joe C.
yes
