Halifax Electric Flyers Association

I stumbled across this. It's on sale at Grayson Hobby for $24.99 (reg $34.99). Shipping for one is $20, but shipping for, 7, is about $45. Divide that $45 by 7 then add the plane, the total is $31.42 USD for each plane (save $8). I don't know how much of a downside this is, but the pre-covered depron foam air frame is only 3mm. There is a good review of it on rcgroups and it looks sweet in the air, indoors or out. I'm guessing that a motor, esc and battery for it would be around around $25 more for it at Hobby City (plus shipping). What do you folks think? Good deal for an indoor plane or better things elsewhere?

very cool, anyone worked out a price with motor, esc and batteries (say 2)?

3mm depron is fragile even indoors. Similar, I think to what your Pluma is made from. Probably a good plane if you're careful

It's a neat plane, Andrew. I've been looking at Hobby City's mini Christen Eagle too. The hold-up for me has been the availability of small lipo packs: HC lists a few Zippy and Rhino 2S packs between 100 and 300mah, but they've been out of stock for a couple of months. HC does list bare 240mah cells if you want to build your own packs but they end up costing more than the already-assembled out-of-stock ones.
