Steve Rough Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Hey not sure if I posted in the right place but im look for help in buying a combat wing either new or second hand. I want a plane not a glider. That I can use for combat/dogfighting. My brother has a zagi that he is building and I want something to challenge him with. I want something strong that can easily be fixed again using tape or what ever. And will be fast and quick at turning. I have a load of 2200 3s lipo's from my parkzone extra so would prefer a kit that takes that size battery. What are the best options to go for without spending to much? And where can I get then from? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Houghton 1 Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 I've heard good reports about the Raven from Flying Wings which you may be able to fit your larger battery too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garbo Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Three posts with the same question? On which one would you prefer the answer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Bott - Moderator Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 OK the others are gone, now I'll move this to the Slope soaring section. It will still appear in "latest posts" so everyone will see it. Hopefully there will be plenty of answers soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Bott - Moderator Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 No problem Steve, I'm sure when more answers come in, you'll have so much choice you'll be more confused than ever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt How Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 May i add to your confusion. the parzone stryker is soooo coool, flat spin landings, vertical landings, knife edge all the tricks in the book are doable, its fast and can be caught on landing, the new version that i have will almost snakebite, and best of all 2200 lipo is perfect with the parkzone setup, have a look at the parkzone site for the vids good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Smalley Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 stryker will not last 2 mins on the combat slope, the predator is very highly regarded but i do not think it is made anymore, the x-it flys well, and the zagis also are good sas also do a few **LINK** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Jones Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Missed thgis post first time round but having found it now I think that since the OP mentioned combat then the SAS range has to be investigated, there's several to choose from and they are great fliers with a good reputation. SAS is here You may have heard about the SAS Wildthing a lot so I'll just mention that it is now in it's MK4 version as it now has the wing section of the SAS Fusion which can confirm is pretty tough.

Welshboy Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 He doesn't want a glider, so a wildthing won't be suitable. Not sure if this is the best section either. Zagi is the only one I can think of, but my knowledge is very limited. (I'm still try to keep mine in the air, never mind trying to hit a moving target) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Jones Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 OOps. I don't normally associate powered flight and combat with each other and lost my thread Whatever is chosen it needs to be full EPP construction if it's going to last any length of time though.

Tim Mackey Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 This somewhat confusing thread, is perhaps, in the wrong section Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delta Whiskey Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 A Free Air Tom is what you want ! Takes a few knocks too ! Can shift too mines just a tad faster than a Radjet 800, both on a 3s setup. £23 it was from Robotbirds - will need the elevons and winglets changed to balsa ones and a carbon rod added if you want to fly this fast ! Clip below filmed from an iPhone sideways - don't ask me why ! **LINK** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingKade Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 DW, that thing costs£23!? Blimey that thing shifts!!! Impressive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delta Whiskey Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Well that was for the foam wing only! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat (rActive) Harbord Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Flying wings Raven is good, but difficult to squeeze a 2200 lipo onto the nose. Mine has a 1350 and balances well in the air. i see they do a crossfire that looks fun. Edited By rActive on 09/01/2013 22:54:00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
