Default Best 3D foamie to buy.

What is in your opinion the best ARF3D foamie to buy?
I'd like to be able to fly it indoors and outdoors.

The Vector or the Yedge from twistedhobby.com are both great indoor and outdoor flyers. They sell them with all electronics or just the plane.This is a link to some indoor flying
http://vimeo.com/11585852 this is the Vector.

the yak indeed looks nice, to bad it is no longer available. I was all excited until I went to check out the price and possibly order one. out of stock and with the business sold it looks like they won't be offering this model anymore...

You could pick up the Yak 55 or McFoamy from WM Parkflyers.

[link=http://wmparkflyers.com/McFoamy.aspx]McFoamy[/link]

[link=http://wmparkflyers.com/Yak55kits.aspx]Yak 55[/link]

Or you could pick up the Yak 55, Sbach 342 or Edge 540 from e-foamy.

[link=http://e-foamy.com/]e-foamy.com[/link]

All of these planes have a good reputation. I fly an Edge 540 and a 42" Yak built from the plans and I'm waiting for the electics for a 32" Yak 55 I've got built.

I second this. I bought 3x EPP Yak 55 kits from Greg @ WMParkflyers. Check out my vids:

Do remember these were basically maiden flights and I have gotten a lot better. Such an amazing 3D foamie!

i've heard lots of good things about DW Foamies, especially if you're looking to 3D.

I bought the Hobby King Matrix 3D. Not so good. Tried to write a review on their site and it hung up my browser - suspicious?
