RE: Problems with Flatouts
I had a Flatana. Flew OK but was very fragile. Try the Hobbly Lobby YAK. Last i looked it was only $19.95--for a while it was $14.95. Still a lot to pay for some cheap foam, but it went together much easier that the FO, flew just as well, and lasted a long time. I used the same power system I bought for the FO--Rimfire brushless, Castle speed control, and 640 LiPo. I'm now flying slightley larger foamy that was cut by a club member--doesn't really look like anything but flies great. Larger motor, battery.
