Default New Great Planes Electrifly VFO

Hey guys, you may have seen these buzzing around at JR indoor, and now they're finally almost here! This fun little plane definitely isn't your everyday indoor foamy. It was designed to take off and land vertically. This "Vertical Flying Object" makes hovering super easy, literally let go of the sticks and watch it stabilize itself. But that's definitely not all. Frank handed me the controls at JR Indoor festival a couple weeks ago and I had a blast with it. We flew battery after battery through the VFO and never ran out of new maneuvers to try.

They're due in stock at Tower Hobbies next week. Take a look!

Here's a video: http://video1.hobbico.com/gallery/gp...135-action.mpg

Guys this thing is a blast. I had too much fun flying this at JR fest. It was one of those planes that we were laughing while we flew it. Just amazing what that plane would do and how it would do stuff. Its a blast!!! VERY STABLE.

Looks good...

Not to sound like a jackass, but this design has been floating around on the RCG scratchbuild forums for a while. Finally nice to see a big company snapped it up and did some work on it
