Default Re: THE BEST foamy!

youngflier, ive got a shocki for sale (if i were you i'd scrap the foam on it, its a slightly tatty Ikarus Yak)

Its got an Axi 2208/26, Ripmax SD200 servos, GWS 4ch RX, Castle Creations 25amp speedo and a flightpower 3s800mah pack. I will also throw in the charging leads for free .

Im wanting £100 for it complete (so about $180) but if wou want to save postage costs then just let me know and i'll strip,the airframe and send off the electronics. Hope it helps,

George

All the foamies mentioned are great...... but you want The BEST Foamie?

Youll find it right between your ears! Instead of trying to pick a foamie from what's out there, take a sheet of paper and get to sketching. The best foamie is the one that you design for your own needs. Flying style, size, power, scale, original or out of this world. There's nought more satisfying than producing an airplane from nothing but your imagination and requirements. And who knows, someone else might like it too

Sarge out.

I tend to agree. The best foamie I have flown is my own design. Been cutting them with my CNC out of the blue stuff and selling at Fun flys and hobby shops for $8 ea. I designed it around the shock flyer hardware so went my shockie bit the dust, I moved everything over.

I agree the charger rc planes are AWOMSE!!!! I just crashed my shockwave bipe and am now in tears.... I absolutely loved the way it flew. Now I must wait for them to have some in stock again, and then imma going to get the cr-1\2 and another shockwave. Love their planes so much. And talk about durable, when hovering and having a dumb finger it doesnt matter just fling it back up. The only way to really break it beyond repair is to actually pluck the nose in first. Thats what happened with me, doing a rolling harrier (well trying) and did up when it was supposed to be down...

Anyways love the charger planes!!

Hey guys! I heard you are in the search for the perfect foamy, and well i have it here for you. I was planning not to unvail my new aircraft until all testing was complete by the russian government but due to the high demand of the perfect plane, i have decided to release it. All details are classified.

Warning, alot of money and time has been put into this desgin. If there is any replication of this design, there will be major problems for you.

I agree. The best foamies are the one that you (Marcus Sargent) design.

I whole heartedly agree. Take all the cf from the crashed one and make your own. I did my own on paper and it is so satisify to design your own plane.

If you don't like it, change what is wrong. If you have an inrunner this is your chance to build a full fuse foamy.

If you can, have a look at the eflite qq yak. It will give you all the ideas you will ever need. If you want I am planning on building another scratch full fuse eflite yak and will do a build thread in January when I get back.
Painting a foamy has now been made very easy

Default Re: THE BEST foamy!

well as an update. i purchased the insane foamies yak. i liked it a lot (not as much as the monte). it flew great but my elevator servo has no torque so this afternoon i was pulling into a square harrier to hover and it never pulled. it plowed into the ground, so now i need a new servo and a new foamie. my frlying friend has many sheets of blue foam and i may scratch build one. im tired of paying 50 bucks for foamies!
