Jason, dude, almost everyone who came by the FG booth this weekend wanted your foamy. Seriously, it was an endless O & A session about your FG plane. What is this ? where can I get it ? how much ? when will it be for sale ? on and on and on.
I want to say a big thanks to DJ and Zak for throwing that plane together so quickly and then flying a great demo with it. Max really threw Zak under the bus when he did his "stump the chump" thing. I mean, come on, Andrew was flying a 6oz indoor plane and Zak had to try and duplicate the same maneuvers with a plane that weighed 3 times that, not to mention not having the correct throws on the rudder and elevator because it was the maiden flight.
Zak, you did yourself proud and you did the new Insane Foamies FG plane proud. Great job!
BTW, Zak & DJ, the gear that's in the plane, don't bother sending it back, it's yours, you guys deserve it.

What motor and size LiPo is recommended?
The 1320 works great. We flew it briefly with the 2100 but it was pretty heavy.
