Default Looking for a good outdoor foamy

Im looking for a good outdoor foamy. There are some baseball diamonds down the alley from me and they keep the lights on all night most of the time. I get insomnia thinking about flying and would probably get a better nights rest if I got to go flying before bed. Im liking the looks of the eflite funtana 300 and I can get one cheap. Anyone have anything good or bad to say about this one. Im open to other suggestions also but I would like to keep from spending to much on it, say under $50 for the airframe. I also would like something fairly simple to build. Thanks in advance guys.

Have you seen the super extra from 3dfoamy?
http://3dfoamy.com/SuperXtra.htm

I ran it on a hacker a20-20 and 10x4.7 apc prop 1320 3 cell Thunder powers. It flys really good; like flat flat spins but also flew like a real plane when in low rates.

My fav is the Fuzion 3D by Charger RC It flies amazingly well is is super easy to assemble and the service is pretty darn good too.

Go with a DW Foamies Juka 38" instead. I like the feel of it WAY better than I did with one of those Fuzions, as it felt more snappier in snap rolls, and more spinnier in spins

I guess you can never have too many foamies. I have an extra park 370, would that work out ok?

Have you given the Airfoilz line of planes any thought? They are great for outdoor flying!

from what i've heard the DW foamies are great... the YAK is probably gonna be my next foamie. the Super extra looks really good. i like the size but its pricey... 85.00 shipped.

That will work fine on a smaller lipo, say 730mah 3 cell and a 10x4.7Sf prop
