3D Foamy of the Year
 

OK guys, the end of the year is nearing.......what do you think is the BEST flying 3D Foamy out there? Don't take into account power systems, since that can be changed or modified, but which foamy 3D plane do you feel has the best flight characteristics?

RE: 3D Foamy of the Year
 

Well since I have flown and seen flown only 1 I think it's the best. The E-Filte Ultimate. Course that's not a fair judgement, but none the less my 2 cents.

RE: 3D Foamy of the Year
 

I will give my vote to Insanehobbies Edge 540!!! Excillent plane!!!!

RE: 3D Foamy of the Year
 

I'm going to say the Shock Flyer because of the impact it has had on the hobby. I never even had thew desire to fly electric until I saw my first Shocky... now I'm nuts over them. EVERYONE had a Shocky!

insanefoamy.com edge or extra.
they are the best out there

RE: 3D Foamy of the Year
 

Shock Flyer By far. It has had a big impact and flys very well.

RE: 3D Foamy of the Year
 

what size motor:eek:

RE: 3D Foamy of the Year
 

I think that a nice 3D foamy would be my dads yak54:D:D... He putted a full fly elevator made out with EPP and he kinda took the idea of the body Shock Flyer but still...I'm not sure....its awsome( yak 54 foamy with full fly elevator ););)

As much trouble as a shockflyer can be. I have to give my vote to the Shockflyer.

I never even gave electric planes a second glance until I saw my first shockflyer fly. That little plane has pretty much started a revolution in R/C.

Most of us old glow flyers used to refer to electrics as those "underpowered Toys-R-Us planes". The recent developments in light weight electronics, and servos, along with LiPo and brushless motors, has made electrics HOT.

I have many different glow planes, and despite expensive engines, and streamlined planes, none of them have the power to weight instantaneous throttle and power as my electric planes.

Yes, you can get glow planes to hover, and even do 3D aerobatics, but there isnt a glow engine in the world that has the INSTANT on INSTANT off of the high powered electric motors.
The performance of these planes far exceeds most other types of R/C in my opinion.

Since the shockflyer inspired myself and so many others to get started in electric 3D flight, Id have to give it my vote for 3D foamy of the year.

Insanefoamies edge you mean? ;p


It has my vote too :)

RE: 3D Foamy of the Year
 

I have to vote for the Shocky, flying under the lights at the local Box store after closing time adds a whole new joy to the hobby.

RE: 3D Foamy of the Year
 

I'm going with the ST MODEL YAK 54 T3DIII with AXI 2208 34 on 3 lipo.

Hands down winner Foamtana by Lee Ulinger. Check out the video at darrolcady.com or http://www.pacifier.com/~dcady/ and make your own conclusion, many pilots have made the switch. it's painted and a true ARF

I dont really know cause i never tryed a shock flyer...my dad was scared that i'd brake it so i dont even know if it goes well or not but the best 3d plane would be... i think of R3D( Revolution 3D ) ... this is one of a plane;)

RE: 3D Foamy of the Year
 

i will have to put my vote on the R3D cause i never tryed any other ones...so...go R3D

RE: 3D Foamy of the Year
 

I would also have to vote for the Shocky since it inspired me to get into electric 3D. I have never had so much fun flying in my backyard than I did flying a shockflyer.

RE: 3D Foamy of the Year
 

but if i ever have time to try shock flyer and it goes beeter i'll put my vote a the Shock Flyer:D

RE: 3D Foamy of the Year
 

Shock flyer, and I have the new and improved shock flyer yak on order.

RE: 3D Foamy of the Year
 

Great responses so far, guys, keep them coming! [sm=cool.gif]

RE: 3D Foamy of the Year
 

well, because I have had a couple Ill vote shockflyer! But, this next year it will be 3DFoamy!

RE: 3D Foamy of the Year
 

Shockflyer all the way! The impact it has had and the doors it has opened for all!

RE: 3D Foamy of the Year
 

The question was "BEST flying 3D Foamy" not. which impacted the most
