Foamflyer's RC Airplanes
Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of flying do you enjoy?
I enjoy just flying around with mild aerobatics, if the plane is capable of it. Rather than seeing how fast a plane can go, I’m usually more interested in seeing how slow a plane can fly and still remain in control. I don’t care about 3D or pattern stuff. I enjoy practicing touch-n-go’s also.
What kind of RC planes can you not stand?
I absolutely detest planes with fuselages that look like they were run over by a steamroller, which includes a lot of “3D” planes. I never have and never will build one like that. I'm not keen on cartoon planes either.
You’re approaching your 200th build. What will your 200th plane look like, and what will you do after that?
I don’t know what my 200th plane will be. I’ll decide when I get there. After my 200th plane I’ll just keep building and flying, ‘cause that’s what I like to do.
What’s your favorite airfoil?
The Clark-Y. The KFm3 is a close second.
What’s the weirdest thing you’ve ever seen?
The multicolored silhouette dancers at the beginning of the first James Bond 007 film, “Dr. No” (1962).
Has an element been named after you yet?
No, since I’m not a nuclear physicist and haven’t discovered any new elements. I’m sure there’s more to be discovered though. I think if an element was named for my discovery the atomic symbol would either be “So” or Ff”.
