Seems very expensive for a plane to be used in combat. Planes used in combat tend not to last very long. In 'REAL' RCCA combat, the 3696 event uses mostly home made foam airplanes made from 2 lb/cuft foam which is hot wire cut and sanded to shape, then covered with packing tape or ripstop nylon.

We have a saying... "don't fall in love with a combat plane".

Have fun.

Check out the thread on the Muncie Group F&F Streamer combat design. It's a cheap, simple to build model that flies surprisingly well. Planes similar to that are ideal for learning how to fly combat because if/when you crash you're only out a few bucks.

nice, but i dont have the skill yet to make my own wing, because the shape is very difficult?
