Default RE: Beginner foamie suggestions

Hughh87, If you are wanting to go foamie, most are molded foam. That makes it hard to make a full kit. Some can be sturdy, or can be made sturdy. I have the Art-Tech cessna 182. I got mine from E-Bay, but www.parkflyers.com also carries it. It is really easy to repair, just a little epoxy and packing tape, or Parkflyers has most of the replacement parts. If you want more info on this,

If you are into kits, most .15 and smaller kits can be converted to electric reasonably. Once you get into .40 sized aircraft, the price of motors and batteries will eat a big hole in your pocket. Great Planes also has some kits that are specifically made for electrics too.
