Is there such a thing? Need to be slow enought to fly inside a 120'x50' shop when the weather sucks, and be stable enough to fly outside on the nice days, BUT, I would like to find something that is fairly aerobatic, Hovering isnt a must, sure would be cool though!! even basics, like loops, rolls, inverted and such.


Is there such a thing???????????????????

I have a full size and a mini IFO. both will fly inside and out and are quite durable. They don't look much like a plane though.

Hey John just go to www.rcmicroflight.com and download the free plans for the Todd Long tiny. This plane flys great on a variety of power systems.
Cheers,
Grant

I am on my second Tiny. I am using an Ikarus motor and prop with a 7 cell 600 mah pack...7 min. I think the motor is of the 280 size and I,m not sure what the gear is. I like it but I know I can get more preformace out of it. Any suggestions for motors, gears, batteries etc.? Anyone use the DC 1717?

Thanks

The IFO is a lot of fun. I flew one last night in a double basketball court at a local middle school. It flies great. (I was actually flying the mini IFO) it would hover and do awesome aerobatics, and the thing I like about it more than a Tiny is that they are incredible durable and build very quickly.
