Default Small 3D plane?

I have an HB.25 layin here that runs great. Was wondering if anyone makes a small 3D plane or if anyone had plans for one. I would like to have somethin smaller so I could have a little fun in my big back yard. I don't care if it is a profile plane or not. TIA

I'm having fun with a Mini3D from ExtremeflightRC. I have an OS25LA, 4xHS81, 1xHS55, a 270mAh battery ans a small Hitec Rx. RTF weight is 2 lbs and 1 or 2 oz. It is a fragile plane but flyes very well and light.

do a search on RCU that contains PBF (pizza box flyer) I built one of these with a fox 35 engine and it flew great! The main parts of the plane is a peice of 4MM coroplast, you know, sighn matirial? Easy to find. These things will hover and fly like anything else. If you don't want to call this a 3D plane I don't know what you would want to call it.

HOPE THIS HELPS!!!!

I would try the Taco (http://www.swanyshouse.com) . I have the 40 size Burrito and ordered the 40 size Mojo. The Taco is the 25 size. They are simple, rugged and fly great.

That's one nice and CLEAN workshop. Those tables look like the lab tables from Chem. class. Nice! Nice plane too.

I order a Morris Pen Knife today. Seems like a nice plane. Looks the same as the Taco .25 . I tried opening the CAD file with CAD14 but said it was saved with the wrong format or something. How much is the Taco 25 kit?

I loved my Mini 3D!!!! It was an Awesome plane right up to its death (radio failure ) had a norvel 25 on it. I then made a Pizza box and had a great time with it also, but wanted something that looked a little more like a conventional plane ( like wing, tail feathers ect. ) so I built the 25 size QHOR from www.spadtothebone.com I’m having an Awesome time with it, too !!!! it took only a few hours to build and is almost indestructible. ( I tested that point out over and over again )
