SouthernX_AM
A sport-aerobatic foamy in the kind of accessible category that has dominated intermediate-aerobatic flying since the rise of foam construction.
About
The SouthernX AM is a sport-aerobatic foamy in the kind of compact, agile category that has become a staple of modern RC sport-aerobatic flying. Like every well-loved sport-aerobatic foamy, it earns its place in the hobby by being three things at once: light enough for honest aerobatic figures, tough enough to survive the inevitable mistakes of intermediate flying, and simple enough to pull out of the box and have flying the same afternoon.
The recipe is well-established. A symmetrical or semi-symmetrical airfoil for clean inverted flight, oversize control surfaces for response, a brushless installation and lithium-polymer battery for quiet hassle-free operation, and the kind of low-wing layout that bridges the gap between a high-wing trainer and a dedicated 3D mount.
The bigger picture is the sport-aerobatic foamy category itself. Whether commercial designs from major brands or any of dozens of similar layouts from competing manufacturers, electric sport-aerobatic foamies have become one of the most populous categories at modern flying fields, occupying the natural progression slot between basic foam trainer and dedicated 3D foamy.
In the simulator
A satisfying intermediate-aerobatic mount. Use it for the basic-to-intermediate aerobatic vocabulary: loops, rolls, half-Cubans, hammerheads, and inverted flight. A natural sibling of the Reflection family in CV Planes Pack 5 and the Funtana 40 (3D Planes pack) at foam scale.
