I have a shock-flyer that I will never bother building. I built a Tensor...what a pain! All of the $50 shock flyers are on sale at my favorite LHS for $20 and I will never buy one again.

I get all my foamies for under $30 and they build quick (20 minutes), fly EXCELLENTLY (3-D and aerobatics as well as perfect level and precision flight), are VERY durable (I get about 6 weeks of hauling it around in my truck and flying it HARD EVERY SINGLE DAY before they are too beat up to be fun, but they will still fly much longer) and are easy to repair.

I buy all of my foamies from the same place and I am still amazed at how well they fly, hover, knife-edge and harrier. To look at them, you would not expect them to fly so darn well, even WHILE they are flying...it still astonishes me sometimes.

Foamies are the best simulator money can buy!
