3D Foamies
| |
|
We offer various sizes of foamies, from
28in to our 48 and 55in. Giant Scale Park
Flyers. The feedback we receive from our Team Pilots has
allowed us to produce the best flying foamies on the market.
The following photos are custom painted by our customers,
the kits come as white Depron with optional graphics. The
white Depron makes a great canvas to paint, limited only by your
imagination. |

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 2010
IMAC Sequences in a nearby park or at your local
flying field. Our Gen-X is available in three sizes, 38in.
Gen-X, our 48in. and 55in. BAF 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 38in. YAK 54, our 48in. and 55in. 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." SPIKE

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, 38in. Juka and
our 48in. and the 55in. 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 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 you're just getting into more complicated 3D flying,
this plane will make you look really good. If you're 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.
Note: The Skua is a Artic seabird,
they are strong, acrobatic fliers. The word "Skua" comes
from the Old Norse term for seagull.

The YAK 54, Gen-X and our Juka are low-cost,
quick and easy-to-build, and great flying foamies. Using
6mm Depron and a carbon wrapped aluminum spar, they are
stiff and fly great on windy days. These are "Simply
the Best" flying foamie on the market! These kits
include white Depron, firewall, control horns, a 6mm round
carbon tube for the spar and a colored step-by-step instruction manual.
Optional vinyl graphics are available.

These foamies have a 9mm wing and a 6mm
fuselage. We have discovered some magic
happening with the thicker foam and it's not just in the
strength. The thicker wing is creating more lift, changing
the wing loading making the plane a bit more floaty
while still having the agility of a smaller airframe. We
have also added some of the great features included our 48in. kits,
such as carbon pushrods and EZ-connectors, graphics, servo
mounts and a battery strap. |

(AUW 28-34oz, 350-400 watts, 3S 2100 LiPoly)
This 48in. BAF project started from an idea
of trying to get better runtime performance out of the 55in. 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 2100mAh LiPoly with a 10-12
minute flight time, much like our 38in. foamies. We chose his
favorite foamie, the Juka, in re-scaling the 38in. Juka to
a 55in. BAF, the only major change was reducing the height of
the fuse. When we re-scaled
our 38in. Juka to a 48in. Juka we kept all proportions the
same, in essence giving our 48in. more side area in relation
to the wing compared to our 55in. BAF kits. This new design
displays great knife edge flight, solid hover and it's a torque
rolling monster.
The goal was achieved and the benefits were huge. The newly
designed lightweight airframe has an AUW of 27oz, a powerful motor putting out 380 watts
at WOT. After flying one for a
couple weeks, Joe and I realized this was this was going to
be another great DW foamie kit. A lot of people have this
gear lying around or at least most of it, a good AcroMaster
power system or any of the 45in.-50in. built-up ARF's will
fall right into this foamie.
This is a 9mm foamie that comes with removable
wings. You will have the choice of our Gen-X, YAK 54, JUKA and
the Extras. The kit includes unpainted white Depron with basic vinyl
graphics, complete hardware package and a colored step-by-step instruction manual
making for a quick and easy assembly.

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. The kit includes
unpainted white Depron with basic vinyl graphics, complete
hardware package and a colored step-by-step instruction manual
making for a quick and easy assembly.
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.

These are constructed with
the same unique features that make up our 48in. kits.
The 48in. wings are removable, a very complete hardware package
and landing gear with wheels and pants are included.
Each kit comes with a detailed construction manual and
a complete graphics package. These airframes land like a
trainer making them a great make a great sport flyer and when
you put the pedal to the metal they really move out. |

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 lineup of Giant Scale Park Fliers (AKA- Big Ass
Foamies).

We took a
conventional "Shockie" style airframe and made it
into a high
wing. The wings are removable with two nylon screws on each
panel and a single nylon thumb screw for the struts. This is
a complete kit including graphics, carbon wing strut
tubes, landing gear, wheels, tail skid, wheel pants, aileron
extensions, carbon pushrods with EZ-connectors and much
more. The kit is all precut Depron that goes together with
ease by using our newly designed 3D illustrated manual.
"It flies great - flies scale and you can add acrobatics
at a scale speed." -Dave |
