I'm with Harley. My most fun plane is the big Genie that I was so fortunate as to be able to buy from him. Building more this winter with the new foils and such, but that old 7032 Genie is a true joy to fly. I just need to fix the rudder hinges before next season. ;) Darwin Garrison (Oh, the

[RCSE] Most Fun Plane

Enjoyed reading everyone's choice of the Most Fun plane. My list of fun planes includes several but it has to be topped by the 56" Bluto, closely followed by the Filip Slope, Zagi 3C, and Airtronics Aquila. Of course these are the planes I have lots of hours on, so I guess the choice is natural

Interesting that most of the Most Fun Planes have flown on the slope. You have to have been around for awhile and live in SoCal to remember the Rubber Ducky. It was a 60" span sloper, rudder & elevator, that thermaled like a champ and was just made for fun. It used the 2r112 profile and becam

My most fun moment was on the dunes at the Outer Banks, flying slope zagis with my brother... Two of us playing tag, light combat each nite after dinner. Flying was mixed, from fair to great, but the fun we had will not be soon forgotten. B. RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
