I flew Adrenalines from Abel hobbies for 3 or 4 years. They are pretty good. I ran mine with a hacker 20-20l. I tried a bunch of others and they weren't as good- Untill I got a 48" span proud bird. I don't know if you can get them anymore, but I believe that you can get the dimensions off of RCU. 20 oz all up weight with a hacker a30-28 and a 2500 mah 3 cell and landing gear. It is the best foamie that I have flown.

I have the 3DFoamies 45" SuperXtra with the Hacker A20-20L running a 1350 V2 thunder power batts. I flew the second flight in 15+ mph wind and it flew very well in the wind. I like it more and more all the time.

DW Foamies. 3 sizes to choose from: 38", 48", and 55". All perform great in the wind

The 3DFoamy.com planes have a wing design unlike any other foamy that allows them to fly very well in the wind. I'm on my fourth 3DF plane now and they have all been great.
