Anyone tried the Icon A-5 from KMP vs Parkzone?
I am looking for anyone with experience on the 71" Icon A-5 from Kondor Model Products. Its a big foam electric. Looking for flight characteristics and ability to perform intermediate sport aerobatics vs the smaller 52" Parkzone Icon A-5. I found a used one for sale and just got access to a great lake flying site so I thought I would try it. Can't seem to find any reviews or videos online. Comments please?

Re: Anyone tried the Icon A-5 from KMP vs Parkzone?
The KMP version is amazing. Its big and its gentle. It flies similar to the Sklywalker, and makes a great FPV bed. Mind you, the Parkzone one is pretty darned good off water as well. Its just smaller and seems to have a lot more prop-noise.
Either one is a winner, it all depends on your budget and how big a car you have...

Re: Anyone tried the Icon A-5 from KMP vs Parkzone?
I have KMP ICON and it's a beautiful flying model. Handles great on water, snow and flies just like a trainer. Very docile and no bad habits at all. Last winter I flew it quite a few times when it wasn't windy n frigid cold. Looking for a motor hatch cover for it, if anyone has one from crashed model, do let me know.
