PARKFLYERS (SPORT).Parkflyers (Sport). Park Flyer Airplanes capable of RC aerobatics.
 Sport parkflyers. After you have learned to fly your beginner RC airplane, you will want to find an RC park flyer that is capable of the basic aerobatics. This page will show you how to select the best example. These RC airplanes are a little larger than the usual park flyer airplanes and they do require a larger space to fly in. A large sports field would be ideal and these types are not out-of-place at the local club flying field. You will notice in the above photograph that the Super Sportster has a low wing. Typical beginner RC airplanes have high wings. The high wing layout generally ensures a positive stability. This means that when the sticks are released the aircraft returns to a stable, upright position. (As long as there is enough altitude to allow the airplane to recover.) The low wing design gives a more neutrally stable RC airplane. This configuration tends to ensure that the model will continue in the same flight path, when the transmitter sticks are neutralized. You can, of course, perform basic aerobatic maneuvers with a beginner RC airplane- but it is much easier and smoother with a model designed specifically for the purpose. Having said that, please bear in mind that this type is not a fully aerobatic, 3D capable aerobat! The power/weight ratio is not high enough for that! The Great Planes Super Sportster EP Brushless ARF.
The Super Sportster has been available since 1982 in many sizes. It has gained a reputation for a true and honest flying machine. I am sure that someone in your club has owned, or maybe still does own a Super Sportster! Ask around to see if I am right! The first versions were available as a kit only, but today we are offered the complete ARF parkflyer version, finished covered in monokote. Relaxing to fly on low rates, the brushless Super Sportster EP is a great first low-wing model. More experienced sport pilots can firewall the throttle and watch it really move! This is a perfect choice for your second RC parkflyer-you will not be
disappointed! Of all the parkflyers available today, this is the one to buy to teach yourself the basics of RC aerobatics. Other parkflyers may look slicker or more modern but believe me when I say that you will be delighted with this one!

Kyosho Spree Sports M36 EP.
The Kyosho Spree Sports is a good looking and easy flying parkflyer. The kit comes complete with a 380 size motor and gear reduction unit. Despite what it states on the Kyosho and RC Planet web sites, this parkflyer is a 4 channel model and not a 2-3 channel as listed-even on Kyosho's own web site! I was able to take a look at the manual for this parkflyer and thus clear up some conflicting information! The construction is conventional built-up balsa and ply, covered with a heat shrink film. The specifications and instruction manual suggest using an 8.4V 2400Mah NiCd or NiMh battery but I think it would be possible to substitute a LiPo alternate. A 20 amp ESC is required, to control this parkflyer. so bare this in mind if using a LiPo battery.
