Which 3DBatix Foamy?

3D-Seth · 10-23-2006, 05:43 AM

Hey guys,
I am wanting to build a 3D Batix Diablo or Extra 330 for this years JR Indoor Electric Flight Festival, and I was wondering which plane you think flies the best for precision and 3D (leaning more towards the 3D side).

Also, what are some good sites to get white 3mm & 6mm depron foam? rcfoam.com is out of stock and so is depronusa.com . . .

The 3D Batix foamy plans can be found here

Thanks Guys!!

I have build and flown the Extra from 3dBatix its a good 3d foamie.... The Diablo havent I flown but have seen some on the net that had a blast with that plane. Before I buildt the Extra i have the Foamee and I must say its a better plane than the Extra, faster rollrate, better in hover and a plane that I liked to have more fun with...I know its two different plane but if You had the time once, try it out!!

I find the diablo has better knife-edge qualities, less mixing, but other than that they're very similar flying planes.

Are the flight characteristics the same if I build the plane with all 6mm depron instead of 6mm on everything except the horizontal fuse/stabs? If there are differences what are they?

What ever plane you guys chose is what I will build!!
Thanks Again!!

Seth,
I just built the Extra 330 a little bit ago. I used all 6mm depron that I purchased at my LHS. The only web sites I know of to buy depron is the sites you mentioned but were out of stock. I do agree with chrisbchips that the plane does require some knife edge mixing but nothing drastic. Good luck with your choice.

They are both great flying planes its just your choice which one to go with

You can try Peck Palmers some times they have 3mm in stock.

Hmm, foam sites....

I think Midwest has 3mm and 6mm sheets of foam, but they're thin sheets, so you have to buy a few bags. Each bag has I believe 2 sheets of foam, so it should be enough for making a smaller foamy.
