RE: Stryker combat
I was just wondering how the expanded foam stuff held up to combat.
My buddy and I designed these airplanes and we've been selling them to guys in the club for $45 bucks. So far we have only trashed one fuse, and the fuse that got trashed was previously crashed and the guy had a 25 instead of a 15 on it. It got trashed in a mid air and the other guy restarted his engine and kept going. It was almost a direct head on!
Last week we had a mid air and both planes kept flying. We think my rudder got the other guys wing. There was no damage to my plane and only a dent on the other guys leading edge.

We are flying 10 foot lead strings and 30 foot streamers. The think I love about flying combat planes is that I toss the whole airplane in the back of the truck and charge it at home. I never take the wing off it and I never clean it!
