RE: Precision Aerobatics Addiction X Video & Photos
Hey Dan, I'm having trouble with high alfa fight with my Addiction. It hovers great, I just can't seem to transition into high alfa or harrier landings with it. Is this a balance problem you think? Maybe transfer some weight to the rear? I know it's not the pilot! 
Where do you set the CG on the models you fly in the videos? Looks like they're spot on!

aerofundan,
I was waiting for the Addiction X to be in stock at Cheif Aircraft Inc. and just the other day they pulled it from their site. I was told it would be in stock in 3-4 days. Any idea what's up? Are they going to sell it or not?

aerofundan,
I know I can get it from PA but since they won't take a money order I'd have to use my CC and then my better half will see the charge. It's better the wife doesn't know about this one. I've been spending to much lately. Cheif Aircraft will except a money order. That's why I was going to order from them.

Well, I found out why Chief Aircraft Inc. hasn't gotten the Addiction X in stock. You'll just have to read this yourself. If I do decide to get one I'll have to order it from PA and listen to the wife complain for a while about the charge on the CC

I was looking at the specs and it recommends the use of a 3-cell, 2200mah li-po with the Trust 40 motor. Is that right?
I use a 4-cell, 3000mah li-po with my Eflite Power 32 motor. Can't imagine using a 2200/11.1v pack with the Trust 40 motor.

wow. That's a scathing memo from Chief Aircraft about Precision Aerobatics.
Looks like if you want a PA model, better to order from them direct.

Thanks for the information. I do use 14.8V 2200 mah packs on my Eratix for better hovering and get almost 8 minutes out of it most of the time.
I've tried 11.1V packs OK for regular sport flying, but not very good for hovering.

UPS dropped off my Ad-X today. The box was in pretty good shape for once. I unpacked everything and trial fit the wings on the fuse. When I was sliding the left wing on the CF tube the CF anti-rotation pin pushed inside the fuse. Very little glue if any at all. No biggie really but just wish they would use a little more glue. The colors are really bright and the plane looks cool. This will be some good eye candy for the boys at the field.

RE: Precision Aerobatics Addiction X Video & Photos
I'm kinda like DLWrcm. I'm not unhappy but for what you pay the quality could have been a lot better. The CF landing gear does not fit. It has to be cut down. One of my ant-rotation pins in the wing was loose and the other one was inside the wing. The engine box would not fit at all. Had to really work to get it to fit. The CF pins that go inside the fuse to help hold the engine box on were really loose. There was a gap between the pins and the bulkhead. Not really sure what good they are. I could not get the rear stab to seat all the way back in the fuse. Had to cut and sand just to get it there and then it was not parallel to the wing. I was missing the smaller hinges for the rudder. I also ordered a Dubro Micro pull-pull system. No major issues just a lot of small ones.

RE: Precision Aerobatics Addiction X Video & Photos
I've got 2 PA airplanes and both of them have been way above what I expected. That's weird that your's was as you described. Both of my kits were perfect in every way! I have had E-flite ARF's, Tower ARF's, and just about every other ARF out there and PA is way above the mark in every aspect. When I opened my first Addiction, my first thought was, how do they sell this ARF so cheap? I have paid the same price for other ARF's with half the quality. Sounds like you just found a fluke in Precision Aircraft, Sorry for your luck but I bet they would make it right if you were really dissappointed.

RE: Precision Aerobatics Addiction X Video & Photos
Same here..I have the Addiction not the x version , but it was the best kit I I ever put together and put an E-flite(not shabby) to shame...Flies great so far..The only thing is that like all these things they don`t put enough glue on stuff. Its not like CA is expensive or heavy....Jason

RE: Precision Aerobatics Addiction X Video & Photos
opwan,
Maybe I just got a bad one like you say. I was going to mount the tail wheel last night only to find out that the wheel would barely move. I was able to remove the pieces holding the wheel on and reset it with epoxy. Not a big problem just something that should have been caught like all the other things that were wrong. That's what you get when you get things out of China. No quality control. I'm a little disappointed in the build but I'm working things out and should be fine once I'm finished. I'm currently flying the Eflite Eratix 3D and had no issues in the build. That doesn't mean that the Eflite is better than the Addiction. Maybe the Addiction was made on Friday and the Eflite was made on Monday.
