Hey guys I am looking for a plane for NEXT winter and think bout that Aero Works 42% Biplane.....And wondering is it good?? Any reviews?? With a DA-150 is it a good torque roller?? 3D good??? How many servos and were they all at ( like 10 on rudder or what.....I know not 10 on rudder...lol )??? Is she hard to build???? And Does aeroworks sell a hardware package for it??? DA-150 hard to install in this plane????

If you're serious about one of these, you're more than welcome to make a trip to Findlay, Ohio....we have 3 of these flying in our club.....along with the new 33% and 27% Ultimates soon to be released.
I haven't flown the 42% yet, but being good friends with the owners of the ones in my club, I've heard nothing but positive comments.
Everyone would be happy to show-off the 42%'s in the club and answer any questions you'll have.

I just talked with one of the Ultimate owners in our club, and he made a good point.
Aeroworks only produced 50 of the 42% Ultimate, and all have been sold already.
It's not known at this time whether Aeroworks will produce any more.
If guys are interested in buying one of these, I would suggest calling Aeroworks and letting them know!
If they get enough interest, I'm sure they'll do another run.

3D Boy, if you have to ask how much they have in them, it sounds like it's not a plane for you. Anybody can make a fast summation of items needed, i.e.
Plane: $2,400.00
DA150: $1,150.00
Mufflers: $150.00
14 x 8411/8611 @$115.00: $1,610.00
2 x SPCM Rx @$200.00: $400.00
Batteries, switches, extensions, servo horns, ball links, rods, etc, etc: $400.00 - $800.00
Add it all up, and $5,500.00 - $6,500.00 is a reasonable amount to expect to spend.
The reason I'm saying that it might no be a plane for you, and it certainly is not a plane for me of the same reason, is that anybody who has to ask as you have, to me, does not sound like somebody who can spend that amount of money and think nothing less of it, meaning, could spend twice as much, and it wouldn't really hurt their home economics.
I know, that I would be a nervous wreck every time I flew something like this, and I would not have any fun at all, except for the relief after a safe landing. I have lost planes without being able to trace the reason for the lock out, so it can happen to anybody. Transmitters go bad, people turn on, newbies turn on (and don't think you're going to get $5k out of a newbie), cranes are radio controlled, other industrial equipment is radio controlled, do you fly with others, mid airs happen. The list goes on, but I'm sure you get the point.
I had a H9 46% Ultimate and a zdz160rv b2, both NIB, and I sold it for just the reasons stated above. I really have the most fun if having a max of $1k in the air, if $2-3k up there, I start thinking to much he he.

Shoot, I would have learned that quickly too had I have the same planes you got lol. I am 16 and work for all my planes, no way a 14 year old himself can afford those. I started a real job at age 12[&:]

Oh boy, using the whole college fund for RC planes when 14, and picking planes based on covering schemes, where will you be at age 16 ha ha? Now if you were 6' 4" and 235 lbs and really good at playing football, then your parents' investment in you would be wise he he.
