Any foam gliders out there suitable for glow RC??
I've been have a great time with an old Cox R/C EZ Bee Sport the last few weeks. I was wondering if there were any current foam ARF's that would work with a Cox engine and a simple 2-channel radio?

I think you get what you pay for with a foam glider...if you want a glider I guess it would be ok. You can take your cox .049 and two channel radio and have a plane that is fun to fly and last for years....the 150% size Littlest Stick (or LS150) You can build it in about a week and have it ready to fly.

Hey Lynn, the e-z bee is a big foam wing glider so if thats what he likes then what the heck!, and I can tell you there is a big difference between a foam glider and a foam glider with an .049 on the front of it!!!,Things speed up quick when theres no throttle for control but I guess you know that already.......the main problem I had with mine was elevator flutter at speed....mine was also just a fun project to try now I have the cox spyder/thermal hawk..which is a big foam wing with a blow molded fuse, like a kids plastic ball bat,,,all but indestructable.........hmmm seems like Ive said that before somewhere?..Rog

Hey Lynn --
You could send that SST a little ways north -- you know how much I llke that color scheme -- I'll be glad to store it for you until you get another radio freed up. [8D][8D]

Here's my latest foamy...Shape look familiar? BTW, that tailwheel is 1.5"! I've been kind of impressed by the SSTs I've had so far, so I figured to continue the evolution.
