- At the Chicago R/C Model show last weekend, I saw the line of planes
- by U.S. Aircore. They have an interesting design, they're made of a
- corrugated plastic-like material, which you just fold and glue together.
- They all have an interchangeable power module which holds your engine
- (40 size) and radio gear, and can be used in any of the U.S. Aircore planes.
- They also sell a set of floats which can be used on any of their planes.
-
- The planes are supposed to be able to handle a lot of abuse, and from the
- video I saw, they seem comparable to the Sturdy-bird and Duraplane, only a
- lot more attractive. They currently have a Bipe, sports plane, trainer,
- and a few others. They're pretty reasonable priced through mail order
- ( $60 - $100 U.S.)
-
- Does anyone have any experience with, or has heard anything about these
- planes, all of my information comes from the manufacturer. Specifically
- I would like to know if they are as tough as they say, and how well they
- fly (especially the trainer).
