Some of us like foam profile airplanes. Look no further than the popularity
of Shockflyers and the hundreds of fan fold profile designs out there.

Folks that are actually buying the plane seem to think it's a pretty good
value from the feedback we're getting. For starters, ours isn't made from
FFF, but rather from the much more expensive Depron which is significantly
lighter. The parts are precision cut, including beveling all the control
surfaces for hinging... something most modelers hate to do. You won't find
that in the shock flyer kits. Then there's quite a bit of expensive carbon
included, too.
We realize that a lot of guys cut their own foam planes, and more power to
them :-) We appeal to those who want a well-engineered product that
assembles very quickly into a phenomenal flyer for close-in aerobatics.

For those of you who haven't built and flown a 'foamy' yet, please note that
all of the Tournament of Champion and big time IMAC pilots like Qui-que
Somenzini, Chip Hyde, Jason Shulman, etc. etc. are all flying them.
They're a gas! ..er..electric! ;-)
Thanks for pointing that out, Jim. As a matter of fact, at least one of the
former TOC winners is flying our SLICK! :-)
