No, the trick is to move indoors........<BR>
<BR>
On the outdoor birds, few in that size/weight range do well. The Extremeflight, E-Flite and Aeroworks birds are all too big. I for one would not feel at all comfortable flying one in a park..... <BR>
<BR>
Back to the indoors idea, there are many good indoor birds for flying Indoor Pattern. A brief list below (with no bias from me as an indoor designer ;)<BR>
<BR>
Fancy Foam Vantage<BR>
Fancy Foam Vrolet<BR>
Clik<BR>
Mercury<BR>
<BR>
Or go to the RCGroups.com F3P forum and download any of the free plans stickied at the top of the page. <BR><BR><BR>
