go with the fore play as it is a little better as far as weight an strength go, but you really need to downsize on the batteries a little. Weight is everything and you should be able to shave almost 2 oz off the batt. i recomend the thunder 730 3 cell. its the best bang for the buck i have found so far.

After smashing my Tensor for the last time I bought two Fore Plays. (1 for spare parts) The Fore Play is an awesome looking plane. Excellent quality. I can take it and point it straight up, go full left aileron and it will torque roll at half throttle. Not just once or twice. But many times. Fast too. Now if this a true torque roll I dont know, but it sure looks great!!

Hey !!! I'm looking for a Fore Play to use the Variable Pitch Prop. Do you think is it a good airplane for begin with?

Setup

AXI 2208/34 Variable Pitch Prop
PHX 10
Kokan 840 mah
HS-55 servos

Does the fore play use 1 or 2 servos for the aileron?

Thanks for all

I think built super lite with all the wing carbon removed it will be a great model for the variable pitch prop. I am just not sure where to find one as all we had were 1000 and they are gone.

We have a few in Brazil yet.

Remove all carbon? What about the strenght?

I think anything below 9 oz will perform well with the VPP system
