Limbo at the Park
Well it was Limbo at the Park tonight. It wasn't very pretty. An F-22 and a modified Wolverine hit one of the uprights signaling their demise. They had performed well for several months so not all was lost. Their parts will live on in new models. Several other jets also came to an early demise during hand launches and stunts making one wonder if it was more of a Twilight Zone than Limbo Land.

Welcome to RC Foam Fliers!
Thanks for stopping by. I hope this becomes a resource for all of you foam fliers out there. I have added some links to aid in your quest to build or purchase R/C equipment and aircraft.
Hobby King is a large provider of R/C supplies. Extremely good pricing on most parts as long as weight and size reasonable. They are located in mainland China so delivery times can exceed several weeks depending on shipment type selected. Higher shipping costs need to take into consideration when comparing costs.
Hobby Partz is a good source for R/C parts. Their prices are slightly higher than Hobby King but they are located in California and usually get your parts to you in less than 5 weekdays if not on backorder. Popular size batteries go quick when in stock!
IMAA site will help you get an understanding of electrical calculations needed to size your motor/ESC and battery properly.
NitroPlanes sells a large array of R/C aircraft. Their prices are usually as low as they get. I have purchased several planes from them. My only complaint so far has been with the MaxJet EDF jets. They were severely under powered and either never flew or limped around.
Park Jets has numerous free/donate pdf plans. They also sell some of these plans in kit form aka already cut out but you have to assemble and buy electronics
RC Foam Fighters is a excellent source for R/C information and videos dealing with jets aircraft builds. Have numerous free PDF plans for foamboard and EPP foam jets. Their quest for speed has exceeded a true not scale 140 mph on jet design plans you can download
RC Powers is a good source for R/C information and videos dealing mainly with flat foam aircraft.
