Default Anybody heard of a SAPAC Extra 330L?

I have come across a 3D Extra 330L on ebay made by a company called SAPAC (Chinese).

Kit is RTF with:
B2025 400Kv inrunner, 8:1 gearbox, 18A ESC, 13 x 6.5 prop, 3S 1500Mah Lipo, 9g servos, WFLY 4 ch TX. Thrust = 1050g. weight = 650g.
Price is $180 AU which sounds like a great deal for an entry 3D, but I don't want to buy a dud. More info at

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/NEW-EXTRA-330...ayphotohosting


Has anyone seen or flown one of these or had experience with these brands?

cheers..........

It's a great plane! Got mine a couple a days ago, but changed to a hitec reciever, for safety reasons. More than enough power, goes vertically without stopping! I payed $112 for it, and $50 for shippingto Norway..
How was your flying experience with it?

Hi Johnny,

Have a look at the thread at

http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_43...tm.htm#5172173

I would very much recommend doing the mods I have suggested as your plane will develop the problems I've outlined sooner or later.

Happy flying!!
Brett

Noticed all comments on the extra 330L are from 2006. The latest version has been released in 2007. Has anyone purchased on in 2007, and if so what are the comments.

I ordered the model with the bigger motor and extra batteries off the internet, plane flied good, well balanced for pattern flying. Motor crap, burned up after about 5 flights, and only about 10 minute flights at that. Plane torque rolls good and hovers good. Will not knife edge, tail section to weak. Had plenty of power while it lasted. I replaced the motor and gear box with e-flight parts and the plane is still airborne. It is a blast to fly, especially in smaller areas. Landing gear is weak too. Hand launch and land soft.
