Most durable foamie type plane on the market is a T-52 from www.jkaerotech.com
Kit is only $35. You can power this either electric or glow. Norvel makes a half decent engine for this plane. If you power via
electric, go with a mag mayhem reverse motor and a 3 to 1 gearbox/w 12x8 prop. Run 8 cell 1700 batts. All kinds of power there.
This kit uses a coroplast tail group and coro fuse doublers. Fuse and wing is foam. You can cover this thing in packing tape.
I still have mine and its a blast to fly!!! This plane only uses rudder and elevator. Very easy to turn because of the 10 degree dihedral built onto the wings. Another model would be a Push-E-Cat from Garrison Aerodrome. This model is a pusher in which the motor is
behind the cockpit/cabin area. Also easy to fly. Matter of fact, I think they re-designed the model and its now version 3.
