Fun reedy stunter?
« on: February 26, 2013, 06:44:20 PM »
Hey guys, I've been thinking about using some of my old reedies again, and wouldn't mind something that was stunt capable.

Seeing as Tee Dee's are getting harder to find and more expensive, I think there may be a spot for a model that can squiggle around on a sure-start.

Any suggestions?

RSM has a nice little stunter for reed engines. I think it is the Miss Ashley. Also, he can cut a kit for my Frite Streak flying wing model. That is the "little brother" to the Sky Streak as published in Flying Models last year (see the thread in this forum segment). Brodak has a whole series of models that, while a bit small, will maneuver pretty well.

Try looking at a Plastic Fantastic available from the Brodak site. It contains two kits and was recommended to me by Larry Renger to which I flew many fun flights using cox reedies. He has trained other stunt flyers with this model with great success. With it's nearly indestructible design it's a great 1/2 a flyer. Maybe Larry will chime in to elaborate a bit more on the PF-24. (Contains 2 Kits) Hardware Included, Built in 2 hours, Flies great, Bounces and Flies Again, 24" wing span, control line, Cox, Norvel, OK Cub, .049 Powered.

The Plastic Fantastic 24 is an excellent trainer for stunt training if you fly over grass. it is a little squirrley for just learning to fly. I still have my first (and only) one with at least 50 crashes in its history.

As Mike and others can tell you, FOLLOW THE BUILDING INSTRUCTIONS!  D>K
