What aerobatic slope model?

Since there is a gap in my growing collection of slope models I thought I'd ask you lot your thought.
I need a aerobatic for fun in winds up to maybe 40 mph. about a 60" wingspan.
Was kinda hankering after a Yak type, I'd like le Fish but don't want to deal with Jack at LEG.
So, whaddya recon?

The Le Fish is the best aerobat ive ever flown and killed on a slope, simple as that.

Other options will be a woodie like the madslide (over 300notes when you can find um) or the glass Wasabi like Bri has.

Or go fully mad with somthing like the Vector or similar for big slope areo's

Yeah The le fish is coolio, theres a couple that are flown up the Orme and I'm inpressed but like I say, Jack is such a arragant So & so!
I don't wanna spend loads on it coz it'll end up trashed ...... A faom model would be ideal.

Why not ask a friendly man with a CAD machine and cutter to cut you a "Le copied Fish?"

Andy

Now theres an idea!

Or, if you want a custom designed "MartyFish" model, just let me know the span you are after and link to what you want to copy, and I'll do a custom design for you, one that you can give to a friendly man with a CNC hotwire cutter to cut for you...... Cheap rates for mates

Which bit you looking at Gaz?

I was going to say, I thought Stan at Phoenix MP had stopped making EPP models now?

Andy

think he has stopped making them as Andy said wonder why hes done that

Thanks for the thought anyway.

I hought he sold them on to another supplier, don't know which one though

I have an old phase 6 you can play about with to get you used to flying models that break when they hit the deck, you can take it away when it's trashed I'll have the servos back

Thats a very gracious offer Rich, Very tempting ..... I had a SAS Schitzo and was doing well with it but foolishly handed the sticks to someone else to watch it get trashed! Hence the Thread.

wasn't Mark was it ???

probably Tim

No, for once he is blameless lol

Oi Badham.
Surprisingly, in the 4 years I had the Schizo, I flew it a lot in the early days, and never bent it once.
I sell it to that mad biker a couple of weeks ago, and after flying it himself maybe...ooo errr lets see - about twice, he hands it to someone who hasnt even mastered rolling a wildthing
I was flying my Hawk at the time when I overheard the prompt from Marty to a certain RICHARD
... "go on try a roll with it "
There was only ever gonna be one outcome.

Yeah your right Tim apart from the amount of times I flew the Schitzo .... Anyway, How was I to know he hadn't even rolled the WT? you only been teaching him for a year!

LOL - I know.... gotta love his enthusiasm and determination though.

Perhaps it's the teacher that lacks the confidence in the students ability

A certain Richard wasn't me either

I honestly thought he only had trouble with his landings! (which I wasn't intending to let him attemp). Surely after all this time he must have tried to be a little adventurous (intentionally) lol As you say Tim, he has full marks for tenacity! And no Rich we ain't meaning you! lol

Rolling a Widthing's easy, just pop it under the wheels of the car and away you go

Is that the voice of experience there Brian

I find it the best way of straightening the WT out after combat on the Orme
