Guys;

I need suggestions on a good foam backyard flyer. I want something under 16 ozs; 40 inch or so wingspan; 4 channel; with no wheels; rugged enough to withstand grass belly landings. I'm already working on an Easy Star and a Formosa, but am looking for something else; maybe a warbird or scale plane.

My backyard gives me at least 100 yards left-right direction; over 200 yards out in front. I will be hand launching and belly landing. Right now, I'm using a GWS Pico Sick F, a Parkzone J-3 Cub, and a Hobby Lobby Yak; all brushless and LiPo. They are all fun; but 3 channel is getting boring. The Yak is great, but a bit too delicate. Even easy landings tend to inflict small damage that adds up after a few flights. It's easy to repair, but...

I'm thinking anything balsa won't hold up to the wear and tear. I'd prefer brushless and LiPo, just for the ease of maintenance, light weight and power. Slow and easy will be fine; mildly aerobatic as well. I don't need full aerobatics. But, nothing too delicate. And, with homes nearby, I don't want anything heavy or too big. I fly nitro at a nearby club field; just looking for something for those "only have a few minutes" days. Suggestions? Thanks; Ernie P.
