I don't know about anyone else, Steve, but I like it!!

It makes me want to build one

AeroCat Man · 03-21-2006, 09:52 PM

I do believe that Eddie Noble of Nikitis Aircraft has built a 3D foamy with a DA-100. That's right!!!

GremlinX · 03-22-2006, 09:43 AM

Crazy, that is crazy! You are right about your name. Very cool. Did it live long? weight?

CrazyHerb · 03-26-2006, 04:25 PM

Gremlin,
The Big Pink lasted a year then I sold it...guy that bought it promptly crashed it a week later (pilot error). I'm sure I'd still have it if I didn't sell it.

If I get time, I'm thinking about doing another big foamy this Summer. We'll see....
Easy and cheap way to get my brother-in-law into the hobby....start with a giant scale for the same price as a .40 trainer setup.

king160woody · 03-26-2006, 06:57 PM

any pics of it?

Prime_Time · 03-26-2006, 09:12 PM

Just thinking of the possiblity of having a 106in extra/yak/edge/wut ever with no bigger but a 40 size engine gives me the goose bumps! I would like to see a 40% Extra 330 with a Hacker motor on it! I would fly it out in my front yard!
