What is a good aerobatic park flyer? What are the required accesories? Thanks.

IFO---although not coventional, it is VERY aerobatic.

280 motor
4:1 gear box
10x4.5 APC prop
Micro servos.
I use a Hitec 555 receiver in mine as the Feather is un-usable indoors (too many other xmitters on)

There are many others too.... jwat "type" of aerobatics are you interested in?

All out aerobatics. Anything and everything. And who makes the IFO? Thanks.

Mine will hover at 1/2 throttle with the above setup and 10 150mah cells. I get about 6-7 minute flights as I rarely go above 1/3 throttle.

There are litterly tons of them out there.

There are some good ones here too. Top notch kits and service.

If foam is your thing... Crazy Max from Hobby People Flies just fine stock, even better with more umph.

Great Planes sells some copy cat ones, but it has been my experience that they don't fly too well set up as recomended. Too heavy.

Go to our Product Guide and then go to the Kit Guide and begin with "All Classes". Then, narrow your search criteria and you'll see a whole bunch of aircraft to choose from.

Have a look at the Mountain Models Switchback. It's a great little aerobat for flying in a park and Doug at MM can supply you the complete set of stuff you need including the GWS EPS300C-C motor/gearbox and even suitable battery packs.

When you get tired of the brushed motor stick a Mega 16/15/6 brushless in there for some awesome perfomance!

A Kavanshot with a motor upgrade to A GWS S2 is good fun loops , rolls the lot . But you must add one extra servo for ailerons.

Crazy Max mad by i believe wattage it might hover with a big battery but other wise it will do snap rolls, rolls, loops, fy upside down it will do a lot. All u need it 3 micro servos (hs 50s or 55s) micro reciever (hitec 555 or even lighter a fma m5 that is duel conversion) and a battery pack

I've seen the I.F.O. fly outdoors, and do anything but fly backward. Looks like a big gliding butterfly.
I've seen the librarian at the AMA Library in Muncie (Rich) fly the Crazy Max, and smile from ear to ear as it did anything his wet planes would do. I'll vote for the Crazy Max, with strengthened wings, because it looks more like an airplane than a butterfly.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

If you are looking for a ripping good time regardless of the wind... (anything under 20 MPH is ok) then my vote goes to the Wattage Crazy 8. It is stronger than the Crazy Max and capable of extreme performance with a geared brushless motor. I'm running a Hacker B20 15L 4:1 on 10 cells. Also using a Hacker 30A ESC and a APC 10x4.7 prop. You can hover easily with this setup.

Here is another idea. ThreeDee 400 from Hobby Lobby. Stickish fun in the park with a 400 size motor.

Check out the Tiny-X at http://www.toddsmodels.com/slowflykits.htm It is a great little flyer. I fly mine on a 2 cell Kokam 1020 Lithium Polymer pack with a dual DXA motor and an APC 11x8 the thing goes vertical. All out aerobatic flights of around 20min. Todds kits are fantastic great lazer cut kits that assemble easy.
