Hi, Has anyone got a plan for a 3D foam plane with the fusealarge between 50-60 cm long or longer .And what type of motor,speed control,battery and charger to use.I,m am looking to build a plane I can throw in a flat pack and take on holidays. Cheers Creedah

50-60cm? That's a little small for a 3D'r but ok. I think [link=http://www.unitedhobbies.com/UNITEDHOBBIES/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=9203&Product_Name=Piaget _Micro_3D_plane_EPP_Kit_w/_Motor_&_ESC]this[/link] Might suit your needs. [link=http://www.hobby-lobby.com/yak_55_aerobatic_3d_profile_airplane_red_black_air plane_7001_prd1.htm]I have heard lots of great things about this plane too.[/link] If you don't like those, a suitcase plane might be a good idea considering you want it in a flat pack. Any 400 size outrunner and 25 amp speed control with 1200-1900 mAh li po batteries should do fine. A great charger to get is the Triton. I love mine and it is well worth the money!

Hello,

check this plane out. [link=http://spadtothebone.com/freeplans.htm]ESPA3D Plans[/link] (3D and novelty) ive built several of them, great little plane to fly! harriers at less than walking speed, and at less that 1/3 throttle. it is a very fun plane to fly, sure its not really a hard-core 3D plane but its a great plane to fly in the back yard on a lazy sunday evening. it is extremly easy to build and probably costs less than $10 per plane! ive found them nearly impossible to destroy, and if it does break its just about the easiest thing to fix in the world.

as for electronics, they recomend a brushed motor, i tried this and found it to be very weak and heavy. ive flown mine with an e-flite 370 outrunner and a thunderpower 1320 11.1V lipoly, but i found my set-up to be a bit overkill, unlimited vertacal though. NOTE: Not a beginer plane!! it is for experianced pilots! and if you are one it is a joy to fly.

hope this helps!
