Need recommendation for 3d EPP foamie

[LouB]

Greetings all,

I am open to suggestions for a 3d EPP plane, no build up/EPP, just EPP. I will use this to attempt
to learn 3d.

thanks,

Lou

The TwistedHobbies Extra Slick has worked great for me. I got the recommended power package. There's other brands, but the Extra Slick is one of the most popular ones.

+1 for a profile EPP plane from Twisted Hobbies. The Crack Yak is a ton of fun, imo. Very durable too.
I have not flown anything else with the rudder authority that it has. Fly it on the recommended motor with a 9x4.7 prop and keep 3-4 lipos ready to go.

+1 on the crack yak. I am absolutely loving mine.

I got a bunch of the Turnigy 500mAh 2s from the HobbyKing's US warehouse. At $3.69, I can by a big bunch of them, always have a few charged and abuse the cr*p out of them. If only everything in RC was that way...

Hobbypartz has the same thing for $2.69 2S 500

Wow! $2.65, even! Cool! The point is that it's really cheap to keep one of these babies flying and you learn a lot!

fellas, moved this one into a more appropriate forum.

God, for a moment I thought I was going nuts ... could not find the thread.

I took a look at Twisted Hobbies. Man, they have some nice planes and the build videos and demo videos certainly sell the product.

As a beginner, are their significant flight differences between the Crack Yak, the Edge, the Extra or the Sbach?

thanks

They all fly a tiny bit differently but pick the one you like the looks of and go for it. They are all very very capable machines.
