class=590235005-25122005>Colin,</SPAN></FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN class=590235005-25122005> Well, I love my Ikarus F3a Shock-Flyer. We as pattern pilots are very picky so you will have to decide for yourself. Mine is set up with an AXI 2204/54, APC 8x3.8 S.F., T.P. 3S 480 LiPO's, Berg 4-channel Rx and 3 Hitec HS-55's. AUW is 6.9 oz. Not super light but OK for indoor/ outdoor work. I haven't flown this in any serious wind yet, but my old 9 oz. Shocky Super-Star held up OK so I'm thinking this won't be too bad. As far as flight characteristics: almost NO roll or pitch coupling.</SPAN></FONT><SPAN class=590235005-25122005></SPAN><FONT face=Tahoma><FONT size=2><SPAN class=590235005-25122005><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff> I'd have to say it's pretty close to a full-size pattern plane if you keep in mind it's made out of foam and only weighs 7 oz. You can do precision maneuvers with it - the wings don't flex and the fuselage doesn't
twist. It grooves nicely and it's not twitchy like some of the "flexible flyers" made for the 3D wannabes. The new Shockies are much stronger than the older ones and easier to build straight. If you already have a motor and some micro radio gear it will only cost you about $50.00 U.S. to try one for yourself. I don't think you'll be disappointed.</FONT></SPAN></FONT></FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Tahoma><FONT size=2><SPAN class=590235005-25122005> <div><FONT size=2>John Pavlick<BR><A href="http://www.idseng.com/" target=_blank>http://www.idseng.com</A><BR> </FONT> </div></SPAN></FONT></FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Tahoma><FONT size=2><SPAN class=590235005-25122005></SPAN></FONT></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Tahoma><FONT size=2><SPAN class=590235005-25122005> </SPAN>-----Original Message-----<BR><B>From:</B> nsrca-discussion-bounces@lists.nsrca.org [mailto:nsrca-discussion-bounces@lists.nsrca.org]<B>On Behalf Of </B>colin chariandy<BR><B>Sent:</B> Saturday, December

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.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>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.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Any help will be appreciated.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Colin</DIV> <DIV>Ontario, CA.</DIV> <div> <HR SIZE=1> Find your next car at <A href="http://autos.yahoo.ca/"><B>Yahoo!
