Default Grab your hard hats....

New girl on the field.. I have a x9303 and i'm not afraid to use it :P.

It's always good to introduce yourself with a joke. I'll admit that I don't post much, but I do enjoy the hobby very much. I mostly fly heli's but enjoy a good aerobatic plane from time to time. I have a home built depron 25" ws Ultimate that I fly in my back yard and the e-flite extra 260 with a park 480 setup. I'm interested in starting with larger planes as i've learned the joys of large aircraft through my heli experience. (I love my trex 600E) i'mm be picking up a 27% Patty Wagstaff that I plan on putting in a DA50, but I would really be interested in a 25%-40% electric foamy. Building from plans is no issue, just can't find any info on depron planes that large.

As for the good stuff.. I fly in Virginia/DC area and work with a LHS. This year i'll be doing some demo flights at fun flys. June 1st i'll be demoing the e-flite F15 should be fun.

Anywho.. i've rambled enough for now.

Welcome to the GIANTS...I'm not much on foamies anymore, but check out DW Foamies, they have a " Big Ass Yak" . I had one awhile back and it was very cool, while not as big as 25-40%, it is 55" ws and the biggest foamy ive ever seen. It is a very nice and slow flier, check it out , see what you think. If you plan on bigger gas birds, why not just go with a 35 %, they fly better than 50cc stuff and the cost is @ the same, only increase would be the bigger engine. Good luck.
