Howdy folks,

I am new to 3-D and am looking for a durable EPP foamy to grow into and learn 3-D flying and master sport flying on as well. I am looking at the Extra Stiffy "Edge" by Copperhead Aviation.

www.copperheadaviation.com

I spoke with a guy there and they are releasing a new line of Extra Stiffys in November. The Edge comes highly recommended to me. This will be my 3rd plane. I have flown: (1) Graupner Mini Piper (2) 4-channel Potensky Eagle. I am currently flying the Eagle and will soon outgrow it as it lacks power even with a geared brushed motor.

I would like to spend $200-260 on a combo foamy; although I do have two HS-55 and two HS-50 Hitec servos and an Electron 6 receiver I can salvage from my Eagle and install in my new foamy. Receiver seems a bit bulky though.

I'd like to know what planes you guys might recommend based on my needs? I don't know about all the smaller shops like Cooperhead Aviation and such on the web. I learn about these places from folks like you and Backyard Flyer magazine.

Thanks in advance,

Jeremy

I have CopperHead aviation's Yak stiffy. One of the most durable out there of the foamy 3D types. Complete kit ,all hardware included. I can't comment on the flying. I mean it fly's well . But my lack of 3D skill , I don't know whether it's the plane or me.
