Delta Whiskey Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 For me it's Free Air's TOM flying wing, cheap as chips, can belt around and equally float about on a breezy day! Also now, getting more & more use is the ST Models MX2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Read 2 Posted July 28, 2010 Author Share Posted July 28, 2010 My Sea Fury is sulking at the moment as I'm flying my ST Models Cessna more and more. I did originally have problems with the motor mounts breaking, but found out this was due to the thread lock I was smearing everywhere. It ate the plastic mount resulting in a very wobbly motor! I've now put through about 20 flights with no problems. It flies very well and can float around on very little throttle. Great for a hot summers evening! Landings are easy, even for someone like me, who up 'till now was only a belly lander. Take-offs and landings are half the fun, up until now I did not know what I was missing! Delta W, my mate recently bought a ST MX2- he loves it too!Edited By Tony Read 2 on 28/07/2010 14:02:41 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen Grigg Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 The only one I flying at present is the Fun Cub and its brilliant.I have a GWS Texan that in its initial build was excellant but since rebuilding it the motor had failed miserably.

boggy Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 my vote would be for the parkzone extra300.....u/c removed and hand launched by simply letting go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Bandit Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 Only problem I have is the Parkzone spares issue, also ordered floats for my Easy Cub or a complete Fun Cub, neither available yet . And now the snows almost gone. Chris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erfolg Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 As one who was very sceptical with respect foam models. All seem to fly very well. My own foam model is Nito PlanesDo. 335, twin motored, flies very well, in spite of me. I just need to remember that power is needed all the way down to touch down, as there is no glide. I to am going the GWS AT-6 Texan route as a previous posting. Just need to build it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roby Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Hi, my favourite foamy is the Supercub. I didn't have many planes yet because I'm new with the hobby but the Supercub was the one I used to learn,Roby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve W-O Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 For me has to be one of the Multiplex, probably the Funcub has an edge over the Mentor. Close second in the Sonicboom,then quite a long way behind the Wot4 FoamE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Halton Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Art Tech Corsair.

Biggles' Elder Brother - Moderator Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 I'm with Boggy - at the moment for me its the Parkzone Extra 300. I've kept the undercarriage on mine but I know what you mean Boggy. Our strip is no bowling green (thats an understatement!) and so it does have a tendency to "trip over its own feet"! I find it best to dispense with all this taxing and lining up stuff with it - just put it down open the throttle and let the sheer pull of the prop drag it into the air! Not very elegant I know, but a lot less frustrating! But once you get it in the air you instantly forgive it all its ground handling issues. Its a dream to fly. Very smooth, agile. Its so well behaved and yet aerobatic - a tribute to Mike McConville's design. The same model can be very relaxing, but can also fly all the aeros I want to do really well. One thing I am curious about. Mine has a funny little "feature". If you do a stall turn - either way, doesn't matter - when it gets to the horizontal position it has a little pause! Then it drops its nose down to complete the move. So at 3 o'clock or 9 o'clock we get this little, but very definite, hesitation. Its so noticeable that someone came up to me after one flight, really impressed, saying how cool the "hesitation stall turns" were and asked me how I did that! I wonder, has anyone else noticed this with there's - Boggy does yours do this? Its very stable in knife edge so I was wondering if this was linked to that.

TonyS Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 I'd vote for the PZ Extra 300 too if it wasn't for my addiction to the Starmax Panther...... Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
