suit case foamie..
I am tired of not being able to fly when I travel. I fly once a week and am always at a good place to fly with nothing but time. Can somebody give me an idea on how I could maybe build a Shock flyer that can be broken down? Any ideas? I am pretty creative, but if somebody has already done one... can I see it? Thanks.

Re: suit case foamie..
There was a guy on RCGroups that made a breakdown foamy he called the Smuggler. Do a search for it. His fit in a hard gun case.

I've seen one advertised in model aviation made of rip-stop nilon and colapsed flat.

Re: suit case foamie..
TMPRO I think will be coming out with a electric 3D airplane that will fit in one of those nice metal cases like a electric t-rex fits in. I will let you know when they are suppose to come out.

Re: suit case foamie..
I got an idea. like I said.... but since you got me interested aswell. I am going to spend a little time on CAD and figure this out. I got some solutions in my head but need to take the time to CAD them out. and want to make the CAD drawings perfect.

Re: suit case foamie..
If the foamie was small enough, you could get away with a 1 piece wing that clipped onto a full fuz with rare earth magnets. If you wanted a bigger foamie, your into wing tubes and airfoiled wings. Definatley an idea worth pursuing tho.
