Alexdrift - hiya pal!! Is your IFO made from Depron, EPP or ripstop-type Nylon? It looks good anyway. Have you looked at what the Americans call the Nutball|? its similar but flys better, 'cos its completely round and has only elev/rudder control, no elevons. It also has upturned wings at the tips to make it more stable andd can flys really well in winds up to about 8mph. Do a Google search or look up 'Nutball rc' in U-Tube....the designer was 'Goldguy' from Canada. Depron or EPP, b/less 80W motor and 800 2S turns out a great flyer.....
But thats a nice IFO Downunder, but please, get out in that lovely sunshine.......

its made out of 6mm depron, its already had about 5 flight, 2 of which were flown in very windy conditions it is very stable and just kinda hovers on the wind, it is capable of loop to loops and rolls
