ORIGINAL: beachbrada

Get the Sky Fly 2, I learned how to fly all on my own with the original Sky Fly. The Sky Fly 2 has a couple upgrades over the original. It comes ready to fly and has really stable flight characteristics. I took it to a local flying field one day and one guy who happened to be looking for a plane for his 5 year old son to fly saw me flying the Sky Fly and was really impressed. He said he was going to get one for his son. Its a really durable plane and parts are cheap. A whole new wing is just $10. I've broken many wings in the process of learning and most of the time I was able to duck tape it back together. Watch this video and you will be surprised: [link=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_eMC-Lmiauc]Sky Fly 2[/link] Here's another video of some guys dog fighting with the original: [link=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_LUV6hv13nU]Sky Fly Dog Fight[/link] You can pick up the Sky Fly 2 on towerhobbies.com for $109 ready to fly.
That kids Mom called tonight and I did tell her that the NexStar was just to big.
I may be wrong but I think I saw that Sky-Fly 2 at the LHS here yesterday for $89.99.
Thanks for the link on the video.
Real cool.
