Default Help, starting 3d

I have been flying parkflyer models for a few years now, I want to get into some 3D planes. I'm looking for a foam indoor plane with a wingspan of about 30inches. A weight close to 12oz, in accomodation with a 11.1v 1300mAh 25c lipo battery.
Thanks

This can do the job ... even with the 1,300 mAh pack but will be kinda tight for indoors.

Your packs are too big for a 30" wingspan 3D plane. Most in that category are indoor F3P style planes. Only 6-7 oz and they carry as light as 2S 250 mAh packs.

I have looked at this but it does seem a bit large for indoor. I dont mind getting something smaller and getting a new battery pack, i just have more 1300's spare than anythign else. the super Zoom seems slow enough that indoors would be slightly easier. I might just make some blu cor 34" Extra300. I can order a 450mah lipo and a 250 size brushless. Like the Eflite Park 250. That should be enough.
Thanks

12oz is Huuuuuuge for indoor... unless you have access to a golf dome or something... indoor flyers in gyms etc are in the 5oz or less range nowadays...

I fly my 16 oz 3D'r inside all the time and it flies fine, I just do a lot of harriering and hovering. I fly in a gym.

thats what i was thinking, i also use bigger batts and heavier foam. my heaviest foamie is the YB-22 from yardbird. about 12oz fun to fly high alpha. I also fly in a big games center.
