Default Good Electric for E-Flight 370

Was wondering what would be a good airframe for the E-Flight 370 motor. It was in a bype yak I had but retired it. Any ideas?

When I saw the title, I immediately thought, "go with the bipe yak!". But, since you already had one, I say go with maybe the new E-flight Funtana 300? It calls for a park 300, but I bet you can sneak in the 370.

Then, you have the option of going with a Tensor?

And lastly, there is the Sobre.

I like the hobby-lobby yak 55. They are 20$, made of 6mm depron, and fly really well. The 370 is plenty for them. Assembly takes about an hour using a hot glue gun. i know it is not the lightest way to do it but it is the easiest and quickest.

I had a 370 on my eflite 260 foamy, killer combo. tons of power, the airframe is a little on the heavy side but it is a kick arse outdoors foamy

Hmmm.

I'd say go with a Sobre or Tensor. They should be very happy with that 370 you got.

You should try to get your hands on some plans and build somthing from sheets
of 6mm depron. I have plans from an ikarus shocky yak that i blew up to make
a yak with a 36 1/2in wing. one carbon spar in the wing, and a little bracing down the sides of the fuse. With HS-55's, a 370, 20 amp esc, and 640mah 3S lipos,
weighed in at 10oz on the nose. Its a big foamy, and and it flies incredible!
