RE: Precision flying with a Foamy
it is 6.8oz without batt. But that has a lot of carbon on it and we are making one right now with the smaller axi and hopefully get that around 5 oz without batt. I am not sure about putting it on the market or plans. But will try to do plans.

RE: Precision flying with a Foamy
Not enough room to do any real precision but this was taken on the second flight.
This thing is like cheating!

And you built this from fan board, or whatever the hell it is called. Freakin wow man, that plane is absolutely ridculous. This has changed what I thought an electric profile was capable of. wgeffon
Is there any way you could post a generic list of building materials. Not really equipment just building material. I am entertaining the Idea of building something similar.

RE: Precision flying with a Foamy
The plane is made from 3mm Depron and has some carbon sticks on it for strength.
The rest is standard equpiment you'd use on a Shockflyer type of plane.
I dont know what Jon's thoughts are on getting plans out there yet. We'll let you know.

Do we have another George Hicks on our design Team
Nice plane Jon, put me down for a set of plans ($)
Nice flying Wayne, as usual.

RE: Precision flying with a Foamy
what is the wing span???
Im running 9x4.7 on my 2204/54 and it works great on that motor better than the 8x4.3 that is recommended.

Not someone shilling another Foamy

Isnt that when you are selling something and you subtly promote it on an internet forum?
This plane is not for sale.
The plans are not for sale.

And you infer that the plans will be for sale.

I just re-read this thread and cant find the post where you say I said, or infered that plans will be for sale.
For the record:
PLANS AND KITS WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE FOR THIS PLANE.

RE: Precision flying with a Foamy
Are they comming on the market or are there any plans for them ?
I am not sure about putting it on the market or plans. But will try to do plans.
Wayne you are da man! When can the rest of us get one or plans.
I dont know what Jon's thoughts are on getting plans out there yet. We'll let you know.
Do we have another George Hicks on our design Team
Nice plane Jon, put me down for a set of plans ($)
There are four of you and you were fishing.
You got caught and now you are backtracking
What was the reason for this post if it was to talk about precision flying with a plane no one has but you guys.
You did not even mention the precision flying just shilled the plane.

The content of this thread is fine as is. It only becomes an issue when multiple threads are created.
It is ok to promote things in your own thread but not to disrupt other threads for the sake of promotion.
