The Foamy Factory threads on Ezone are the best
place to get answers to questions on all of the Foamy Factory airplanes.
These threads are quite active and often times you can get an answer to
a question in minutes instead of waiting for an email reply. I am
often away from my computer for several days at a time and it makes it
hard to respond as quickly as I would like to. If you are not a
member of Ezone, I HIGHLY recommend that you join. Signing up is
quick, free, and some of the worlds greatest people hang out there.
I learned everything I know about electric RC from reading and
interacting at Ezone. Just click on one of the links below and

3DX and Ultimate Biplane thread #1
contains complete building and flying info, but is closed to posts due
to it's huge size on Ezone's servers. This is the thread that
started it all! Foamy Factory Models was just a gleam in my eye
when I started this thread. If you have never built one of these
foamy wonders, I would highly suggest you start here.
3DX, Ultimate Biplane, and Yak
54 thread #9
contains even more info and is open to posting. This is
the currently active thread and the absolute best place to find answers
to those questions that always seem to pop up. Click on the link
above to make a post or just log in and say "Hi". I'm almost
always lurking about and answering questions in the currently active
thread.
OK, so now what?...
I'll try to answer some the most common questions I get. I'll be
