I want to build a profile - but money is real tight. I have an OS-25FX on a PBF. I could use it for a Taco, but I REALLY like my PBF. If I go for the Taco - all I have to buy is the kit, covering, flight pack & tools. If I go for a Buritto - I need the kit, covering, flight pack, tools & engine. Now - I'll eventually have enough cash to go either way. Burrito = long term option. Taco = shorter term option. Also - I've never built or owned blsa before.
Question(s): Given that I'm new to 3d manuers...
Would it be easier to learn on a Buritto - since it's bigger & easier to see at a distance (safe altitide for learning)?
How do the flight characteristics & durability compare?
Is the Burrito worth the wait?
What else should I consider?

Any input/advice is appreciated - thanks.

I'll be the first to say it, "Get the Buritto!"

Go for the Burrheeto. :lol: It'll be more forgiving to the new 3Der.

Not even a maybe, get the Burrito. Taco is NOT a beginners plane. It'll do it all, but it's FAST and can be SNAPPY and usually have fairly high wingloading. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE my Taco, and I've built 4 of them. But I love the EASY harrier/hover of the Burrito, It'll take you far!!

Easiest-to-build plane I have ever put together. Even with kids I had it framed in a couple of nights.

Yup... I'd have to agree... The Burrito is better for entry level 3d....

The Taco was designed specifically for an event (SMALL) where you could only fly .25 size motors or less..... I couldn't find a profile that fit the bill... So I designed the Taco!!

I've got Burrito's in stock... You can purchase via PayPal on my web site: www.swanyshouse.com/burrito/burrito.html or you can just send a check for $68.50 to:

Hey paul.......You design great planes......but you're still a ***!!

 

[Tater]

Thanks Bros...
I ordered Paul's best Burrito yesterday.
He assured me there's a minimum of 37 new 3d manuers packed in that box at no extra charge.
What a Bro!

 

[Gordo]

Dude, you'll love it. And BTW, that avatar is FAH!!! :lol:

 

[TailTwister]

OK, OK, OK!!!

I can't take the pressure! I give up! I'm ordering the Burrito today! You guys can stop the psychological warfare now. I surrender to the Burrito fever.

Let's get one shipped Swany!

Now all I have to do is come up with the time to build the darn thing...

 

[Tater]

Hey - do I get a commission on this?
How about half-price on my first set of replacement ribs? :wink:

 

[Tater]

... that avatar is FAH!!! :lol:

Is this one better?

Or how 'bout this one?

Maybe I'll just change them every now & then...

 

[Tater]

I think Paul shipped it Friday AM - I just opened the box & all looks good.
I'm driving south this afternoon to PBF with a couple friends.
Tomorrow after work I plan to start building.
This is going to be the best Burrito ever!
:wink: ... or at least the best to fly out of my hangar.

 

[PaulSwany]

Awesome duuude!! I'm glad you got 'er safe and sound.

 

[Gordo]

For what it's worth...FAH is "Funny as Hell"

 

[Laurens]

For the money I was thinking about ordering them both in one time. 135 dollars shipped for me.

Untill I remembered I only earn about 70 euro's a month Kinda sucks to be 16 and still on school :x .

 

[Tater]

I hear you... sucks to be 16... no bills... no rent... no mortgage... no dependants... You're really missing out Bro. :wink:

 

[John Wells]

In about 20 yrs, some of you young fellas are gonna be saying, "sucks to be 36....child support, alimony, car payment, house payment....."

Been there, done that!

Dr. bills, infertility treatment, glasses for your kids. Even at 23, I wasn't thinking about that stuff!

I just put out $200+ for a new set of glasses for my 8 year old son. Am I the only one that thinks an 8 year old DOES NOT NEED "DESIGNER" FRAMES! :roll:
