Best travel plane
I live in a family of four (me included) and we go on tons of vacations. It seems like every weekend I want to fly were gone. I've tried taking foamies with me but there is NO nice way of packing one and I always end up at the location with a broken foamie.
So I think it's time to get something else, something with wood construction with a removable wing that I could store in a large box. I have a park 450 outrunner and two lipos one 1200 mah, and one 2100mah A complete flight setup the only question now is what plane? Also I would like it to be something that would be well suited for moderate winds. I have heard the mini ultra stick is good. Also the filton mini Inspire looks GREAT. and lastly I think the precision aerobatics electric shock seems like a good choice also.

Re: Best travel plane
Looks have something to be desired a little bit, I also wonder what the durability is like.
I would also like to know what the durability is like on the mini-ultra stick (it's ok to pipe in sleepy  )

Re: Best travel plane
Extreme flight Extra. Wings unplug. Make a small box to store it.
A slightly smaller plane would be the Hyperion Cap 232, or Yak 55. http://www.higherplaneproductions.com/ Bob R. |

Re: Best travel plane
I like the extreme flight YAK ALOT but I wonder if it would work with my eflite park-450 outrunner. the suggested flying weight is a maximum of something around 25 ounses.
It looks like it's the plane I want just I wonder If I would need a whole new power setup. http://www.extremeflightrc.com/html/yak54e.html

Re: Best travel plane
I think I may go for the precision aerobatic "Electric Shock" and maybe write a review for it also. First I need to get a little more cash
. Anyway thanks for your guys help.
