Is there a "funjet" which is fairly easy to fly?

You will break props occasionally if you hit a stone, and props do get chewed up eventually and need replacing.

So just carry a spare with you at all times. But it's not like it happens all the time. Most the time you just get grass stains on the prop :)

I was all set to buy the Sky Fun.. As I liked the idea of a wing with Elevons... But now I have been shown the Skipper, I can't make my mind up.

Can't think thinking that the Skipper looks a bit more fragile in the event of a crash.. But love the idea of its "All Terrain" design... They are hardly expensive, so I would get both, but I don't have the space to store them, so its one or the other....

Be under no illusions the Skyfuns is made of strong stuff :)
Education and schoolin is good, but FPV is gooder :)

Put another way. Look at skyfun foam and it breaks....

Now if they made that same plane in elapor type foam it would be a winner... They did it with the smaller version.

I have decided on the Skipper, as it just opens a lot of opportunities.. And I have no choice now as the SkyFun is out of stock.

But in the last week, the Skipper has increased in price by almost £10 (up to £79 now), and I don't like paying full price for anything.

I hope the price comes donw again, as I also need to order some Batteries and a Naze for my ongoing Quad build...

So will have to see what happens over the next day days.
