What are the differences between Indoor, Slow and Park flyers?
Indoor models are typically the smallest, lightest and slowest of the three, usually weighing less than 8 ounces. Many indoor venues impose a maximum weight limit, often 150 grams. Indoor models have very low wing loadings and use the smallest available cells, 50 or 110mAh being fairly common, as well as specialized, often coreless motors. Slow Flyers are sometimes regarded as an in-between type, the next level up from indoor models. The term “Slow Flyer” is often used to describe both indoor models and park flyers. They’re basically small, light and slow enough to be flown in a backyard or neighborhood park, rather than a standard club flying field. Park Flyers are generally too large or heavily loaded to fly indoors. They tend to use Speed 280-size motors and up, often geared, and batteries up to about 600mAh. They can weigh anything up to 18 ounces, though they’re often quite large and still have light wing loading. They’re also intended for use in relatively small outdoor areas suc
