hmmm..are you looking for a foamie?....i have an ARF i can give you but youre in Ireland so shipping would be more than buying a new plane!...if you want a cheap one and have the gear already just get a shockflyer or something along those lines.

Well to be honest I dont have any gear for a Foamy in particular! I fly electric, me having a pitts and a Katana! But I am looking for something like a "garden flier"! I have a big garden but not big enough for my other planes!! Hence a foamy!! lol! Jack

That one is a yak and has a custom CDR motor, CC phoenix 10, 2S 500mah lipos, two four gram and a GWS pico servo. It used to look more like a yak when it was new. It is the perfect backyard flyer, EPP fuz with carbon spine, full flying tail, depron wing. It has had hundreds of impacts .

I now build ones like on the left as they "fly" much better. The wing panels are easy to make and can be changed out in a minute.

I will post some more pics later.

It will be cheaper to buy one new as shipping foamies is a hassle and cost more than the foamie alone. I know somwone who ships his foamies to the E-TOC and it costs him $200 but if you dont really care about the foamie and pack it instead of crate it you might get the price to about $50. A new foamie runs about $30-$40 and well worth it!.......just save your money and you will have your foamie in no time
