GrandfatherRa- I heard that Krylon H2O won't eat EPP. As always, try it on a scrap, and let it sit a few days before you evaluate.

fantastic! thanks!

i use testors, works great, and its cheap!

also good to know. thanks!

if u use testors use a layer of enamel before the paint. this makes the coat shiny, and keeps the runny paint from seeping into the foam.

wow thank you so much :P. i plan to add 1 very good mod to this list. this mod i believe will excite many. oh ok it a mod on adding a THIRD motor to the x-twin biplanes :P. and it worx great still need a test flight but it sure does look damn promising. so keep an eye out for it.

ironbowser, what kind of clear enamel? is that Testors, too?

yes, testors thin enamel.

So is the Rolling Fury the new Aero Ace? I used to love those Aero Aces'. Would love to pick up something cheap to keep in the car.

Rolling Fury is AirHogs, but not an Aero Ace. It's got way more power, flies way faster, and needs a lot more room than an AA to fly. I question the idea of leaving an EPP foam plane in a car in sunny Arizona, however. I had an AA Bipe curl up on me last summer when I left it on the front seat of my dark green Buick. It might be a good idea to keep the plane inside a foam cooler or something if you want to store it in your vehicle.

Rolling Furys are called "X-Twin PRO, Air Acrobat", when you buy them in Hong Kong.

I had a IFO in a too hot car and the 3mm carbon rod broke in 5 places. Yikes!!

my aeroace bipe doesn't want to stay up anymore after 2 days don't know if it's a charging problem or if it has to do with the motors. help
