Also, "The Shockflyer" design was the first to use a cross section that looks like a "+" when viewed from the front. This is a very strong and light way to make the 3mm or 6mm depron planes and allows a lot of new design possibliites for motor mount and fuselage bracing. To my knowledge, Martin Muller is the originator of this, and judging from his video dated jan of 2003, he's been using that design scheme for quite some time.

Now, if a design is "shocked" it often means it uses that style fuselage. You'll see this being borrowed many places.

But the original "shockies" were a series of 3 planes designed by Martin Muller, and marketed by Ikarus. These were the "Extrema Extra", "Edge 540" and the "Superstar" Shockflyers. There are new Ikarus designs coming to market right now. Make no mistake, "the shockflyer" started a revolution for lightweight, great performing indoor flyers.
