Was that made ofEPPor Depron foam? ;-) I know, we had shifted to electrics by then. My latest electric is scale (G-44 Widgeon)and has a fiberglass fuselage and nacelles,twin engines, tapered wings,28oz/ft2 wing loadingand skoots right along without much regard to wind . . . for five minutes or so. That's 40%more wing loading per sq.ft than my 43cc Ultimate Bipe and 20%more than my 34cc Super Sportster! It's like throwing a rock.

Ionly have one "foamie" (and few electrics) and the foam jet does suffer from the wind. Has plenty of power to cut into it, but when throttling down it's just a dandylion seed in the breeze and balloons terribly.

Ilike electrics, Ilike foam, Ilike glow, Ireally like gasoline. All have their place and all are fun. My next model will likely be a foam electric for use in a newly planted acre field Inow have. Yippee! Provided the sheep don't freak out too much. ;-)


But here's a thought: if it was big enough to carry you would you rather be in foam, stick and tissue or carbon fiber &poly resin?
