New Airframe for a Park 250?
Well.... Lets start with....
PLEASE don't be an IDIOT and Stop at the end of an On ramp while entering the expressway.... Mix the above idiot with my will to not enter the idiots trunk... the strong use of brakes, a folding chair slidng forward in the van and a 5oz foamy.... and the foamy loses! Crushed So, what should I build.. it WAS (idiot) a 5oz Shockflyer Yak and it flew nicely.... What is a good foamie for the park 250.... I'm leaning toward an F3P style. Would like it to stay in the 4 to 5 oz range.... Any suggestions? Thanks Exeter |

Re: New Airframe for a Park 250?
Well from watching Jason from Hobby Lobby fly his Shocky F3A I'd say go that way if you don't mind a bit larger plane.
It flew super light and very very precise! He was doing 2 foot square loops about 3 inches off the grass at the Memphis field, needless to say the plane was awesome. Castle also has the Thunderbird Kestral available now for a GREAT deal. Foamy, ESC, Rx. and crystal for 75 bucks which is outstanding. I got to fly the original Chinn Kestral and it's an AWESOME plane!!  Matchless really did his homework and created another great plane. If your interested here's the deal |

I've been hearing a lot of good things about the fancy foam xcalibur.

I just put together the Shockflyer Superstar with no landing gear and the only carbon i used was for the wing. The rest I strung it up with thread. I think mine is 4 oz with the park 250, and the thunderpower 800 2cell does it really nicely. Its my best foamy yet.

I don't think you can go wrong there. It will be fragile but if you don't crash thats not a problem. Its a very smooth, precise flying airplane. |
