you are the treiner hovers mann....... when i see you doing that i take my old treiner and fly it you make a new kind of fly.....

TO ALL : about foam my f3a weight is 230grs with a rimfire 4500, its my first foam, i enjoy a lot with foam, and about 1 month i dont fly my glow and gas engines.

I whant to design my next plane but biplane what do you think about the diferences ???????????????????????

[suraerobatics]

i like the edge they all fly ok but the super star with some fishing line stiffner was the best

[vporrino]

I agree, I fly the super star shocky indoors, best plane out of all of them.

My set up is, axi 2204/54, 4amp jeti, 3-polks x-micro 4gram servos,

4ch.gws rec. tp pro lite 480ma. At a little over 5 1/4ozs. what an amazing

flyer, love it...



keep em hovering !

5 1/4 ounces! Wow, that is light. My 540 shocky weighed 10 ounces with a himmax28/12, still flew great with soooo much power. I built a super star with a lighter setup that weighed 8 ounces but it wasnt as fun to fly without the wing ripping power i had with the edge.

I buy the 3 pack for dome season. The Superstar is the best one. The Edge does do a better tail flip , well, it looks cooler.

I usuually fly them with a 400xt from Hobby Lobby, 730 TP and Spektrum. But the 5 1/5 oz er is worth a try ...a bit more pricey (AXI) but At 5.5oz it must be amazing. Mine are around 8.5

4 gram servos , microstamp , itty bity motor and battery all add up to a better floater I quess.

If you were even remotely satisfied with a 10 oz shocky, you NEED to try one that is lighter! My edge and the subsequent copies of it were 8oz, 6.75oz and the last one just under 6oz. They are a COMPLETELY different aircraft with a low wing loading. It is a ton of fun.
My final setup was
hacker A2034
TP 2 cell 730
GWS pico servos
BERG 4l receiver

Definitely not even the lightest possible equipment, but it was inexpensive and easy to get/replace.

flew my 8.3oz Superstar out in Chicago wind today, even a little heavy , outdoors it was helpful.

The 5.5 just has to be like a balloon indoors. Gotta try it.

I know its not a shock flyer but i am modifiying a E-flite 260 which should be flying by this weekend the stock 260 was ok (8.48 oz) but it can always be lighter.

Check the thread E-flite 260 my build is at the end of the thread

[rcflyer11]

We designed our SLICKs specifically for ultra-light 3D on CD-ROM power. They're lighter, sturdier, and faster-building than the shockies. You can also color them uniquely... sharpies for quick... Krylon "Short Cuts" and stencils for nice

hey guys, just read all the way through this thread. I've just recently finished construction on
a (sssshhhh.......its a shocky yak COPY....). I havent bought any of the electronics yet, (waiting
on tax return check) But i've calculated 4.2oz before the battery. Thats with mostly all e-flite stuff...
300 outrunner, 10-amp pro esc, 3 S60's, and the new spektrum AR6100 reciever.
should be alot of fun! heres a few pics of the mostly finished airframe...
i would post a link to my build thread, but i dont know how! (i'm not very computer smart)

[RTS.readytosoar]

I need a motor system for mine. I have 2 airframes, no motors! I have the ikarus edge. If anyone has a motor system for sale please let me know. I do have dymond d47 servos in stock.

Thanks,
