Our Favourite Beginners R/C Aircraft
"DAISY" RADIO CONTROL BEGINNERS AIRCRAFT

We have commissioned the Daisy design especially for beginners flying in Ireland.

60" wingspan, fibreglass fuselage, pre-built wings and tail are pre-covered in oracover ,
a fully ARF model with R/C to be fitted, specially designed for Irish weather conditions.

 

Daisy Motor Version - The Hand launch takeoffs are nicely clear of the ground Motor On and Up In flight ...a sweet flier Daisy-in the glider version

The bestseller Daisy has the following technical features: pre-built, white epoxy fuselage, pre-covered wings, very light so landing speeds are unusually slow, a complex wing shape and elliptical wing tips reduce height lost when making turns, and helps keep wing tips up away from harm during landings. The fuselage is extremely strong. Spare std wings or the aileron-airbrake wing are available later if reqd.

Daisy Standard can be bought as a ARF- full outfit with the motor speed controller and polarity protect gold-pin plugs all pre-fitted at component cost.
Also included free is a high performance AeroNaut folding 6" x 3" propeller, this is pre-fitted in the standard version of Daisy.
You just have to stick in the battery velcro, glue on the tail, and fit the micro servos that come with your radio.

Daisy Standard comes packed together with the pre-fitted components and instructions manual in its own box, the 3,4, 6, or 7 channel 35MHz radio control of your choice is supplied in a separate box, fast recharge -specification nicad pack + ML3 charging set, velcro pack, and epoxy glue are also included.
All Green Hobby radio sets sold with Daisy are fitted with micro servos so as to achieve the lightest possible training aircraft.

Daisy aileron version is a touch advanced for beginners, but it can be used as a training aircraft if an instructor is present for the 1st couple of flights, or if a flying simulator is used for training at home .
It is certainly a lovely model to have later on when you can fly well.
We recommend a computer radio with Daisy aileron because this model allows airbrakes and spoilers to be set up with a computer transmitter.

Possible Combos

Economy version + 3ch SS RC (only with std wing)

Daisy Standard outfit + 4ch Laser 4 RC
This is the recommended setup for self teach beginners who want to fly at their own location.

Daisy Standard outfit + 6ch Laser 6 RC

Daisy Standard + 6ch MX-12 computer RC
This is very nice stuff - from here down your radio gear is future proofed and can control every kind of  model

Daisy Standard + 7ch MC12 computer RC
Similar to above but with European "big battery long transmission" style radio transmitter

The Aileron Version

Daisy aileron version + all above + 2 extra micro servos to operate aileron-airbrakes, battery has been upgraded to GP higher power cells, and motor upgraded to a better AeroNaut Black Power 400.
If you can already fly, this is the nicest version of Daisy to choose.
It is the setup we use ourselves.
(But it is agile enough that if you can't fly yet, you would need a little help because it is just a tad lively.)

Fast Charge Upgrade  -  Recharge in just 15-20 minutes ! :

15-30 minute ACDC home/field charger (allows on-field charging from a car battery as well as from mains at home)

or

lighter weight easy-carry 15-30 minute DC only field charger (allows on-field charging from a car battery)

 
What you receive with each version of Daisy ........

Pre-made and covered wings, vertical tail and rudder, and flat stabiliser tail and elevator.
An impeccably moulded white gelcoated epoxy fibreglass fuselage, with fitted firewall. This is extremely light and at the same time, very strong.
Cockpit canopy in black.
Fittings bag with control horns, servo connectors, grubscrews, screws, etc
Lightweight control snakes of 0.8mm steel and snake covers for installation in tail .

The glider standard version has a moulded in round glider nose, and no firewall for engine mounting.

The glider and standard electric versions have a very slightly polyhedral wing with no ailerons, and are designed for flying tail control and throttle.  This is a 2 micro servo model, and the motor version also has requirement for a speed controller .

The aileron electric version has a straighter, low dihedral, faster airfoil wing design. It has ailerons in the wings.  The ailerons version has extra control horns included for the wing servos in the fittings pack.  This is a 4 micro servo model, and the motor version also has requirement for a speed controller.

When  we receive a special request for a glider aileron version we can usually make up this combination.
