Default RE: Grass capable jet



Out of all the jets I have flown from grass ( and in the Uk we have to fly from grass quite a lot) The best for everyday grass use would be the Boomerang XL. I fly many of my other jets from grass and on the right day, when everything goes right with take off and landing all is great. But get one of these slightly wrong and damage can ensue. The Xl just flies and flies and flies. Also another strong point is that it is the only jet the I fly that has any similarity in the way it flies to a Imac type plane. I always compare flying to a 2m freestyle plane but without the 3d capability.
I have a couple of videos of it on my web site flying from a small (and not short) grass strip here in the Uk. Feel free to have a look or to ask me any more questions directly on [email protected]
