Default DW 28" Foamy Outside?

Is anyone flying a DW 28" foamy outside?

I'm thinking of getting one just to mess around with in smaller spaces outside. Quite possibly even in the cul de sac where I live. I just don't want to buy one and then only be able to fly it indoors.

I fly mine outside. It's fun when the winds gets to be about 12mph where you can be at 3/4 throttle in a stationary knife edge. If you put a A10-15s, 7X pro, 8x4 GWS prop, and a 2s 325 mAh Thunder Power. You've got a good outdoor and indoor set up.
