3D Foamies
|
We offer various sizes of foamies, from 33" to our 48" & 55" Giant Scale Park Flyers. The feedback we receive from our Team Pilots has allowed us to produce the best flying foamies on the market. These are great foamies for beginning 3D pilots, as well as the advanced pilot. The following photos are custom painted foamies by our customers, the kits come as white Depron with optional graphics. |

The Gen-X is a pattern plane that allows you to fly a complete IMAC sequence with the same precision as your competition plane. This will allow you to get up to speed on the new 2008 IMAC Sequences in a nearby park or at your local flying field. Our Gen-X is available in three sizes, the 38" Gen-X, our 48" and 55" Gen-X. "This style airframe offers an elegant style of smooth, graceful aerobatics. Turn up the rates and you have a 3D machine that will lock into a hover and torque roll with the best." |

The Yak 54 is a stable, predictable 3D performer capable of precision sequences. This kit is now available in three sizes, the 38" YAK 54, our 48" and 55" BAF YAK. "Most foamies fly good 3D. Some are even great at 3D. But I saw this foamie do something I had never seen another do. That is fly the unlimited sequence outdoors, it was incredible to watch. I even gave it a shot myself and I didn't do too bad, considering I only fly sportsman. This foamie snaps so clean it is just incredible, stops right where you want it. 3D is sweet with it as well."

The JUKA is an all out 3D monster capable of tight spins, fast rolling 3D maneuvers and a factor of excitement that just plain makes you want to hit all the stops on those gimbals. The Juka is also available in three sizes, 38" Juka and our 48" and the 55" BAF Juka. The full scale JUKA is a creation from Lithuanian Unlimited Freestyle pilot Jurgis Kairys. His piloting skill is only matched with his engineering skill. He was asked to work with Sukhoi Design Bureau to help design the Sukhoi 26, 29 and 31 series of aircraft. |

The Extra 330 inner counter balances slows the airframe down, allowing you to wrap it up into a tight ball, lock in beautiful knife-edge spins, do slow rollers and just have fun! The Extra 300L is for the pilot that likes to fly precision, the precise long lines allow you to fly Pattern and IMAC sequences unlike any other foamies. |

The Skua Biplane design is based around the F3P indoor competition foamies with an outdoor airframe. It slows down to a crawl, with no wing rock, when you hit the throttle it tracks like a pattern plane. If your just getting into more complicated 3d flying, this plane can make you look really good. If your a lazy non rudder flyer, no worries it requires very little to no rudder input. The design allows for knife edge flight, rolling harriers and rolling circles need very little rudder input. Specifications: Wing Span: 838mm (33") Length: 882mm (34.75") Wing Area: 480 sq. in (both wings) Weight: 13-16 ozs. Our BAF Skua is now available! Note: The Skua is a Artic seabird, they are strong, acrobatic fliers. The word "Skua" comes from the Old Norse term for seagull. |

48" Giant Scale Park Flyers
|
|
9mm Depron |
||||
|
(AUW 28-34oz, 350-400 watts, 3S 2100 20c LiPoly) This 48" BAF
project started from an idea of trying to get better runtime performance
out of the BAF electric system while running a common 3 cell 2100mAh
battery. Joe Stutzman, from Team DW, was looking for a 26-27oz, 350-400
watt foamie that could run on a 2100 mAh LiPoly with a 8-10 minute
flight time, much like our 38" foamies. We chose Joe's favorite
foamie, the Juka, in re-scaling the 38" Juka to a 55" BAF,
the fuse height was reduced in size. When we re-scaled our 38" Juka
to a 48" Juka we kept all proportions the same, in essence giving
our 48" more side area in relation to the wing. This new design displays great knife edge flight,
solid hover and it's a torque rolling monster. This is a 9mm foamie that comes with removable wings. You will have the choice of our Gen-X, YAK 54, the JUKA and our new Extra 300L & 330. These large 48" kits include unpainted white Depron with basic vinyl graphics, colored step-by-step instruction manual and a complete hardware package. |

9mm
Depron |

|
(AUW 38-44oz, 450-600 watts, 3S 2250-3300 20c liPoly) These large foam airframes are unlike any foamie you have ever seen, they are constructed of strong 9mm Depron. The wings are removable, with four thumb screws, and can support optional landing gear. Our giant 55" kits include unpainted white Depron with basic vinyl graphics, colored step-by-step instruction manual and a complete hardware package. All control surfaces use our unique Torque Rod Hinge (TRH) system. This system distributes the stress along the entire control surface, and also adds an additional spar to the flight surface. The control arms are attached to a torque rod driving the entire control surface. The TRH system is very light, stiff and easy to install. Hinging is completed in minutes using foam safe CA or quick set epoxy, no hinge tape required. |

If you belong to a club in the Southern California area and have members "that like to go fast and turn left", give us a call. We'll make arrangements to come out, set up some pylons, bring out the foam and let you race with the best of us! We will also bring along our new lineup of Giant Scale Park Fliers (AKA- Big Ass Foamies). |
