[NSRCA-discussion] Foamy for pattern practice

[Terry Terrenoire]

The motor is the 2025-4200. Controller is Phoenix 25, and prop is APC
10-7 electric.
I think my all up weight is around 15 oz.

Hi Terry,

Which version of the HiMax 2025 have you installed? What prop? Gear box
ratio, if any? TIA

Hands down, that is easy!! Try the original GWS Formosa. I have over 100
flights on mine, and just love it. I have been trying for nearly 2 years
to get hold of one of the "new" Formosa II's. GWS keeps advertising them,
but still not available.
I upgraded mine to the HiMax 2025, and use a 3 cell LiPolly. On a 900 Mah
I can get about 10 minutes on nearly full power.
I even set mine up for floats and I fly it several times a day when we
camp during the summer, and it got rave reviews from the other fliers at
our annual float fly last Sept.
The only criteria it does not meet for you is the 10oz weight. I believe
mine is arount 14 to 15 oz.

Drop me a note if you want more info.

Hi all

I'm looking for a small (less than 10oz) foamy for pattern practise and
fun while there's snow on the ground. What have the guys in group used?
I've tried rcu for opinions and found it impossible to get any
consensus...there are as many negatives as positives for every aircraft
discussed.

I have a GP Turmoil however it flys more like a kite than a precision
aircraft. I'm looking for something that has been designed for more than
just hovering/3D.

Any help will be appreciated.
