Default Sick new Foamie

Guys... I have the pleasure of flying a new foamie that Biff sold me on. Its a Robert Godfrey design that is has a lot of hand built parts. It is by far the strongest wing I have ever seen on a foamie that has a flat wing, but strips that stiffen it up and act as an airfoil! Its very affordable and large enough to where it flys like a real plane. I love Shock Flyers, but they get a little dodgey when you try to fly them with any speed to practice some faster stuff. This is 42" wingspan flys as close to a 30% as I think you can get with foam.
I am plugging this because I had the honor to meet Robert Godfrey....... a real first class man and a true hobbiest. So, for the next foamie.. its one to think about.. I sure like mine. They'll be up soon on his website www.bobflies.com .
Just thought I would post it because he introduced the whole line at Nall... brand new. Yaks,Extra 330,Extra 260...
