Brett, fun fly's are a total kick in the hinderpoo!!! At one time they were the king of the clubs and would bring out everyone for the day. That's when I started building throw away planes though, some of the events got harder and harder as the day went on and if you cared about your plane you were going to loose. Tower still sells some great fun fly plane kits like the Up-Roar, Dazzler and Fun-51. These kits go together fast and cheap, fly great and will do everything, not very smooth but they will do everything. After my second Up-Roar kit I made templates of every part then just started scratch building them. I always took out two planes at least, sometimes I would loan one to a friend or sometimes only came home with one!!
An OS .46 LA engine is all you need or want in one, plenty of power for these light weights and you never know what part of the plane is going to strike the earth first or hardest!!
Does it sound like I miss the fun fly's???[&o]
