Default Nitroplanes.com 2009 SD Model 3 Channel Condor EPP Foam Pusher Remote Controlled Bobcat Jet


I have been thinking about getting a <font face="arial, helvetica" size="2">Shunda (same guys which make the wild hawk)</font> 2009 SD Model 3 Channel Condor EPP Foam Pusher Remote Controlled Bobcat Jet 100% Ready to Fly Super Durable, http://www.nitroplanes.com/new20sdmoco4.html for a while and I finnaly made up my mind to buy this plane and it turns out to be better then expected although the foam hinges need reinforcements (I used duct tape which worked nicely and easily) and it's not good to fly in 15+mph winds for a newbie. If there was no wind, I think it would have been much much easier to fly. It's too light and the motor is not strong enough to fight those winds/gusts which tossed it like the light weight foamie it is. It went together very nicely though and quickly. It took the impact of my mistake of flying in heavy winds very nicely as well (it broke the rear wheel off which went back on quickly with just a bit of gorilla glue as well as the elevator which went back on with some duct tape; the stock hinge is a bit of a joke. It's just a thin peice of foam which I knew would break off quickly). I'd recommend it as a plane for someone getting use to ailerons. I can't wait to fly it tomorrow.

Only one thing is off, the website said it is epp foam and the instructions/manual says it is epo foam. I'm not sure what the difference is to be honest but it seems like pretty strong stuff.

I'll post some pics tomorrow, it really is nicer then I though it would be.
