Default Now which Flatout?

Well yesterday i crashed my Flatana, the O-ring holding on the prop broke and it stalled and went in. All my electronics are all good, so thats a good thing. But now I dont have an airplane for them![:@] On Tower Hobbies they are selling the Turmoil, Flatana, and Extra for 19.99, I really like the flatouts so i want to get one but i dont know which one. The Reflection is on sale for 24.99 also. Also, would the Esskay 400xt work well in any of these planes. Its on sale for 19.90! I want to have unlimited aerbatics with lots of power to go vertical. I have my eye on either the Turmoil or the Reflection. Thanks

Go with the Reflection, it rocks!!! If youre not already using a BL, then go ahead and get the Esskay motor too.

thanks, i got this Speedmart Catalog in the mail from tower, and it has a $10.00 off your order of $24.99 or more! The Reflection on Tower is ironically 24.99! Plus shipping, so it comes to 22.98 about. Talk about cool! Any tips on flying or building?

If you've built a Flatana, you know how much of a pain building flatouts can be. Just take your time with the build, and you'll get used really quickly to using rudder too with this one.

ND Kid, you might also want to check out the 3DFoamy Mini Sukhoi - they are easy to build and fly awesome! We had a new Pro kit put together in a couple hours - it is just like the Mini except slightly bigger.

Cool- I was just gonna say that I prefer the Turmoil to the Flatana, and Cap-580 --- The RC Universe bipe looks pretty cool!

I actually really DISLIKE the Flatouts but they fly all right--- If you are ever interested check out [link=http://www.chargerrc.com]Charger RC[/link] I have a couple (they are like $29 bucks) and they are thicker (6MM) and fly better than the Flatouts- I even use my Rimfire and 8ESC with great performance!

Cheers!

the RCU bipe is awesome. Looks great and flys even better. Very neutral, unlike the CAP wich had HORRID rudder coupleing...
