I have been flying the cougar 2000 for some time and really enjoy it. I have
a very small car (Ford Ka) and cannot get even a shock in the boot. I'd like
some suggestions on an electric fun fly plane with about a 1m wingspan that
has removable wings so that I can keep it in the boot and fly in a local
park etc.
I've not ventured into electric's before but will probably go straight in at
the deep end with a brushless li-po system from the start. I have a li-po
compatible charger already and am looking for a budget setup if possible
(without sacrificing too much performance). All suggestions greatly
appreciated.

Hi,

I have an Aero Cruiser 3D. Just under 1 meter, removable wings (tho I
leave mine on). Details can be seen at
http://www.americanpioneerhobbies.com/aerocruiser_electric.html
and I use this cheap motor
http://www.wattsuprc.com.au/product_detail.asp?pid=EW-M002

All up, with a 1350mAh 3S Lipo, wights 545grams. With that motor, and
9x3.8 prop, produces over 650grams of thrust.

Goes vertical forever :-)

Regards,

Moby

You could try this tiny little stuff -
http://www.micronradiocontrol.co.uk/plantraco_kit.html - no need to take the
wings off! - but they are deceptively difficult to fly and don't like wind.

These micros look amazing, but I don't think they'll be suited to outdoor
fun-fly type flying. Thanks for the link anyway. BTW are there any videos of
these models in flight?

Thanks
Gerry

I've come accross the Blue Arrow flix-3dx. Does anyone have any experience about kit quality ect there does not seem to be too many reviews on their stuff. Again any comments appreciated.

Gerry
