The I.F.O. Aerobatic R/C Slowflyer - Super cool plane!

As I understand it, this can be flown indoors in a gym, or outside in under 7
MPH winds. With the right flight pack, it can hover on its prop and is almost
indestructable. You could sit on your back porch and fly this around your
kids.

I have read that you can even pack this up in a suitcase and take it with you
on a trip. How cool is that?

Here are some other planes to consider for flying slow flying around your
yard. They are not as acrobatic at the IFO and not as rugged, but they look
more like airplanes.
