    Wattaplane/Skywing 48" EPP/PLY hybrid Slick

    I heard back from feda today. He said the Slicks are already in the US warehouse, they just have to get the website updated. They don't have all colors yet, but they 'll be posting then very soon, and will only post the colors they have in stock. So keep checking back but I'd expect tomorrow or...

    Wattaplane/Skywing 48" EPP/PLY hybrid Slick

    Seeing as I can't fly because of weather, figured I might as well modify it ;) The Wattaplane red paint scheme is the one with the black canopy and the maple leaf on the tail. I've got the Skywing red paint scheme with the silver canopy. I really preferred the look of the black canopy, so I...

    Wattaplane/Skywing 48" EPP/PLY hybrid Slick

    No, it's not available there yet. I'd expect it to show up within the next week or two. I'll check with Feda and see if I can get a more solid answer for you.

    Wattaplane/Skywing 48" EPP/PLY hybrid Slick

    The strange thing is they only priced it $10.00 lower, and only contracted for the red one. They are of course recommending the wrong motor for it, and some how their shipping comes out much higher than Best Values. On the plus side for US buyers, Wattaplane.com has the whole line for sale on...

    Wattaplane/Skywing 48" EPP/PLY hybrid Slick

    Well, the plane is built, super easy build. I know I promised a build log, but Daughter had my camera and couldn't get it back to me over the weekend so I finished the build. Have the camera now and I'm off today, so I'll take a few pics and post them up. Was hoping for good weather today for a...

    Wattaplane/Skywing 48" EPP/PLY hybrid Slick

    Can't argue on the EF birds, everything I've seen and heard about either has been extremely positive, and any vids I've seen, the characteristics of the plane impressed me, even if the flying didn't. We don't know what Skywing is releasing in the 55" class yet, just that it'll be 55". and no...

    Wattaplane/Skywing 48" EPP/PLY hybrid Slick

    Well, my package arrived in NY today, so might even see it tomorrow, but probably Sat. or Mon. What are you thinking for your first balsa Helicow ?...I have the 3DHS 48" Edge in blue....flies very much like the Skywing edge, probably carries a little more momentum into the tumbling stuff, but...

    Wattaplane/Skywing 48" EPP/PLY hybrid Slick

    Changed my mind on the esc. Going to put the CC 45 in my 39" Skywing Edge, ordered up a ZTW 60 amp, " A " series for the Slick. Lot of good feedback on this esc in the 48" 1.5 huck thread on rcgroups. Also decided to order a " B " series 65 amp ZTW to install in my 1.5 Huck. " A " series ...

    foamy market exploration

    Good luck and keep me informed . If I can be any help let me know. I agree on the "bigger "problems with bigger epp birds. I had a 48" profile called the bouncer that was solid EPP ( about 1 " thick profile fuse and thick air foiled wings) needless to say it broke more often than bounced.
