RE: NEW FOAMY SOUTHERN X-4 CRASH PROOF 3D-STUNT KILLER
 
Crash proof is definately the wrong wording for this...Crashing something 100 times and then saying it's crash proof? That just sounds stupid...Damage proof might be a good wording.

I'll believe it when I see it. Show me a video or something of a plane being crashed over and over (no whimpy crashes either) and then I'll believe.;)

Please resist the urge to curse, flame, degrade, insult or embarrass someone in your post. We encourage the free flow of your ideas, but believe that they can be communicated (and received) much more effectively if you keep things civil. If you have to vent, take it offline. We carefully monitor posts and will ban individuals who engage in offensive conduct within the forums. Thanks.
I'm sorry but by the looks of it I'm not the one who needs to grow up...If someone else owns this plane, tell me. Because right now I'm not interested anymore.

Wow....umm...yeah. Ed, I found nothing worth flaming about in what FlyingAce orginally said, then you came in and POW, wow... Um, I'm reporting you too, cause that was just uncalled for. If you were trying to sell this plane, you just gave people a reason not to buy it.

RE: NEW FOAMY SOUTHERN X-4 CRASH PROOF 3D-STUNT KILLER
 
Crash proof is definitely an overstatement, but I've seen enough videos of these EPP foam planes to believe that they are considerably more damage resistent than foamies made of, say, Depron.

The design originated in 2003 and comes from Yo****o Sekiai of Japan.

Here's a video showing a multiple-crash test:
http://www11.ocn.ne.jp/~skytown/video/v3.wmv

And the first few seconds of the following video (after the opening credits) shows how resilient the planes are:
http://www.funplanes.com/videos/SX2pavement.wmv

Somewhere there is a video of the plane being tossed down a flight of stairs, but I can't find it.

Please note that I do not own or endorse these planes. I'm simply responding to your request to "show me a video."

Sorry for not understanding Crash proof. it took me a while to think about it a plane cant be cash proof all a person had to do was to point out the error ..I was so hipe on it, I never stop to think about it I guessed being called stupid was a true thing to say but to think thats what I was trying to say, well some people are COOL and Some like to leave you hanging sorry it took me so long to take the noose off my neck ..Well I was trying to be cool to get the word out didnt mean to hurt anyone, sorry for my loss of words TAKE CARE GUYS AND KEEP IT FLYING, THANKS Eddie

This is the SX4 SX-4 SX3 SX-3 SX2 SX-2 search

From the designer that brought the "flexible, foamie" revolution to the majority of us, Yo****o Sekiai has created another fine flying airplane: The Southern X 4.

This plane differs from the others in that it has a solid EPP wing, verses the built up 'rib and spar' construction that slows most off us down. It also has a longer fuselage and weighs a tad more than the others in the series, but hey! Nothings free in this world :o).

The SX4 goes together quickly due to the lack of wing ribs, and you can see how it flies by watching some of the videos linked below.

If you thought the other SX series planes were great fliers, you'll LOVE this one as it is easier to build, and was EXTENSIVELY flight tested to be the best flying plane so far.

Give it a go! We bet you'll love it (just don't let your friends fly it.... You may not get the transmitter back!)

Just curious, what is a 3-D Stunt killer?

Ed Eddie Edward 10-11-2006 03:45 PM

RE: NEW FOAMY SOUTHERN X-4 CRASH PROOF 3D-STUNT KILLER
 
Please go to the website and you will see alot more videos.It would be stupid not to go to the website in the first place-but then again if your day is spent looking at your ceiling it could be difficult for you.:D

RE: NEW FOAMY SOUTHERN X-4 CRASH PROOF 3D-STUNT KILLER
 
I've been to the website and it looks like a decent plane. I'm just not in the market for something more durable than light, though many people are. I just found the title of this thread a little humorous. Never heard of a plane reffered to as a crash proof 3D stunt killer before.

ED EDD EDDY,
No personal experience and you are shilling for this bird? Come back and report after you get one and dive it into the ground from about 50 feet simulating servo failure...

Eddie-

Normally, the time to praise a new plane is after you have received, assembled, and flown it. It's normal to be excited about a new purchase, and I wish you good luck with it. What I am finding really strange is that you are telling us how wonderful the plane is before you even have it in your hands!

Cool videos showing the plane being flown by pro flyers mean very little. The question is: Can you or I or other not-so-expert pilots successfully fly the plane?

I am very interested in your actual experience with the plane.

Dude, we're not out to get you, so you don't need to flame us all the time. I do find it ironic that you are praising this plane that you've never flown, only seen in videos. I've seen lots of videos of RC planes, but just because the video looks good doesn't mean the plane is. I'm interested to see how you like this plane, though, but not if you keep flaming us for any criticism of the model. I criticize models even that I've bought and am skeptical of most ads until I've flown it and proven what the manufacturer claims for myself. I just hope you don't get burned on this one, which I'm afraid you might considering it comes from a small manufacturer few people have heard of.

I"m very new to these online postings,but not to flying.IMO it's sounds like he is for lack of a better term...................plane pimping something he has never flown seems to know nothing about it but what the sight says.has to make one wonder why someone would keep on and on like he has been.

Good for you, just have fun, that's what the hobbies all about. You don't need to flame us, we never once made any comments worth flaming us for. Be sure to tell us how it flies.
