I think the shockflyer has opened the door to many more electric flyers than any other 3D plane. However My vote has to go to T3DIII Yak. ALthough the T3DII "wild Beast" cap is awsom as well.

I love the shockflyers. I am switching to the fancyfoam for next year to get a taste of something different. has anybody seen the NEW stuff for 2005 from Shockflyer. They have a YAK for 3D and a coupl more planes for pattern and sport flying. Really cool. They should make a strong comeback next year with these new designs.

I AGREE, I NEED TO ORDER ONE


ORIGINAL: leeul

Hands down winner Foamtana by Lee Ulinger. Check out the video at darrolcady.com or http://www.pacifier.com/~dcady/ and make your own conclusion, many pilots have made the switch. it's painted and a true ARF

Didn't think you could beat a Shocky.....until a flew a Foamy Factory Mini 3DX - more acurate, more crisp. Superb indoor 3D.

Wheres all the Tensor 4D guys!

Tensor 4d all the way, if you havent flown one yet, i can understand, but when you fly one, you will never go back to anything else!

And it won the ETOC, all foamies.

My vote is the 3D Delite from Troy Built Models. I have three of them and they can fly in 20 mph winds and turn heads at the glow field.

I have an Ultimate from fancy foam. I am building it now. The machining of the foam is unbeleavable. I have never seen a foamy fit together this good or look this hightech right out of the box. if it flys anything like it looks in kit form, i am going to have a blast.

I'm going with Lee's FoamtanaS. It builds fast and hovers easy. The vid says it all.

Aint it the truth Aviator. I love my Monte It is THE BEST foamy ever. It has Fonominal flight characteristics! I have fun with mine everday hovering literaly an inch of the ground. Its a real fun plane to do 3D with and for the price of $40 with hardware you cant go wrong. The monte will run cirlces around any other foamy you throw at it. I love mine

3DFoamy all the way! I think flew one of the older versions and it was awesome, so I can only imagine how well the new Super line flys! Check out the video and the design on www.3DFoamy.com it's amazing to say the least.

http://www.rcuniverse.com/magazine/a...article_id=433


I agree The adrenaline is by far the best All you need to do is a few mods like add a piece of flat carbon to the bottom of the rudder, leading edge of the wing, and the sides of the wings, and then use two small pieces of flat carbon instead of the round stuff they give you to assemble the elevator half’s. I know it sounds a bit heavy but it makes this thing bullet proof when done.
I have hit the ground with this plane so hard you could see the thing flex bad you would think it was broke for sure but I rarely have to get the glue out to fix it I just put it back in the air. lets put it this way the nose of the fuse is so stout that if you pile it in hard enough you can break a motor shaft and not find a single crack in the plane.

Definitely the one to learn 3D on AWESOME PLANE

Oh yea it handles the wind very nicely also.

www.insanefoamies.com Yak no doubt about it, the ease of assembly and fit of the parts is right up there with the flying qualities and value, not to mention the customer service!

I cant wait for the full fuse version of the yak to come out.
