Any of the little foamies. Therre is a web site on the bottom of the header bar called wattflyer. The only language they speak is electric.

I have one of these, the only fixed wing I can fly in my small backyard. Until I got this, all I could fly were helis in the backyard. I think my backyard area is about 100'x50' not including the playground obsticles.

I fly this in my front yard and it's great for learning 3D or improving your 3D skills.

+1 [sm=thumbs_up.gif] And it's not too bad in a light wind. Great for indoors too. Get the thunderpower batteries for it. Really boosts the power.

I think you will want something that will fly slow in a small area. I don't mean something that can hover in a small area either. If you look at a foamy profile plane, it flies slower than something like the Parkzone Su.  I like the twisted hobby because it's big (32"), flies slow, and can take the abuse of hitting the ground like I do. Check out these videos.

Thank You, AnE       I will consider a 30+" wing span from Twisted Hobby.
