Default Best Parkfliers for the best buck

Hello to all,

I was wondering what is the best park flier for the best money out there...For long duration and fun to fly? So far i have heard the tiger moth is pretty good...but i'm not sure is there are others out there...
Thank you all.

The Hurricane from Hobby Lobby is a good one, 43 inch wing span using a geared 280 motor. The Tigre Moth is definately a good one. Also Hobby Lobby has a Newport that flies good as I'm told. Also there are plenty others but I just listed a couple.

The Tigre Moth can make 30 foot circles and is truly a park flyer wheras the Hurricane will take more room to fly.

Default park flyer

I would say ether a tiger Mouth or a lazy Sparrow the Lazy Sparrow looks so kool it flys just fine on the stock set up but put a speed 300 motor in her and watch out .

Default park flier

I just got my Tiger Moth Today
After flying fast glow planes and prop jets....just want something to relax at the park or in front of home...Can't wait to finish it...just waiting for the GWS flight pack to hook up to my Current 8 channel futaba radio....In your case do you all have two radios? Or you just use one radio for all?? Or what radio would you suggest if i should get one?
The Hurricane and the Sparrow..looks great..i'll be getting it later =)....Thanks..

I fly a Hitec flash 5 it has a 5 modle memory so you can fly 5 planes with only one radio.

Hitec allso makes a flash 4 with 5m. memory.

Be sure to laminated the wing struts with 1/16 inch balsa. This makes for a stronger wing and glue joint. In the center section I set the dihedrel and the used 5 min expoxy to strengthen the top wing. Just a tip.

The flying wires would be for looks only. Once you stiffen the struts the wing becomes quite solid.
