Default Looking for a FF plane.

Need a good FF airplane for local competition. Any kits or ARFs avaliable? If you have web sites, I would greatly appreciate that too.

Thanks in advance.

Go to http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_1563599/tm.htm and get some plans to build your own. FF is pretty specialized and although you may find a kit or two at some local hobby shop, I haven't seen an ad for one for a l..o..n..g time.

Hey dude,you can't go wrong with a Twist from H-9. Now in 3 convienent sizes.I have the 40 and 150 size, my son has the 60.These planes are a gas, don't scrimp on power selection. I run a screaming 48 by K&B on the 40 size. 11X 4 pro.It really screams. Sometimes I fill'er up with 30% nitro, look out!!!! This plane will execute a blender, pull out 5 feet above ground, "oops" (not recommended).And it looks like you did it on purpose!! The 150 size is powered by a YS 110.These planes can fly slow also with no bad habits during landing.Good Luck, I don't think you'll be disappointed.PS, If you fly hard & furious, you will have to beef up the area at the ailerons slightly.

hmmmm - I read FF as Free Flight, but Sleekstreak read it as Fun Fly. That's the problem with abbreviations, ain't it?

Oops--your 100% correct. I was looking for a FUN FLY nitro powered, quick build plane to use in local events. Simplicity and LIGHT weight are first considerations. Any suggestions? Yes--sleakstreak, I have looked at the twister. Good possibility. Thanks for the replys
