Just thought you might like to see my latest foamy. This one is from 'Westonuk.co.uk' and replaces my 'Hype 3D' (also theirs) which I trashed trying to fly under some goal posts[:@] Both of these planes can have either a 3mm or 6mm wing dependant on whether you want to fly indoors or outdoors. The fuz is also 6mm in places and is more rigid than most other Depron foamys. Check out their web site as I believe they distribute these kits (and others) in the U.S.

Thay loooks like a great foamy! What setup do you have in it. I think I see an E-Flite motor in there, but I'm not sure. How much did you pay for that?

RE: Groove ID
Thanks, it sure flys great too
. The set up is as follows: GWS 2208/18T motor, APC 9"x3.8" slow fly prop (could go bigger), GWS 15 ESC, 3 Tower Pro 5 gramme servos, Futaba R156F rx and a Thunder Power 730mAh 3S 15c Lipo. The total weight is 9ozs.
These kits cost about £34 ($75) in the U.K. and I guess that is more than you guys normaly pay for foamys, but these are very high quality and worth every penny, in my unbiased oppinion of course!

RE: Groove ID
Wing span is 30".
Forgot to mention that there is a special servo horn supplied in the kit that gives differential to the ailerons. Not sure that this has much effect on a small foamy? Also, there is the cutest, lightest painted pair of wheel spats ( pants in the U.S.?) you've ever seen (not used on mine) and the undercarriage is unbreakable and has a unique way of mounting that is very strong. A great motor mount made of carbon rod and a machined alloy backplate is also included.
Weston U.K. will also supply a complete deal if necessary which includes motor, Esc, servos, rx and Lipo.
