Sorry Tom, never flown a Thruster, although my 1500 hr + instructor loved the X-Air Falcon, comparing it very favourably to the Thruster, particularly that great X-Air suspension. Horses for courses; if they were the same price I’d choose the Thruster Sprint for build quality and no Dacron skins, but as they’re not, I’d choose an X-Air Falcon and bank the difference. Unless I was instructing of course when its a Thruster or nothing I’m afraid!

Hiya, try both if funds will allow! If not, flex flying is more of an immediate buzz; think motorbike v car here. If I could afford it I’d have both, but am sticking with 3-axis for now, Really, really down to personal preference. Happy flying, I’m sure you’ll love whichever you choose : )

ive got a taster lesson booked but i don’t know weather to go for fixed wing or flex. May try both before i do my licence. i guess the flex wings are cheaper to buy tho.

Nice flying, have flown there myself in my Quantum 912. There is always someone who is going to say 500ft rule!
