I have a few 3S 2200 mha Lipo batteries laying around from my helis, and I see that there are many new small airplanes available.
So which new 3D airplane that can make use of this battery size do you recommend?


Also I have a Himax 2015-4100 with gearbox, 12x6 apc prop, castel creation esc, and 1350 mha 3S Lipo, that are looking for a new home, what airplanes can I use it on?

3Dhobbyshop sells some 47" planes that use 2200mah 3s batts. REALLY nice planes.I got a Blue Velox and it was sweet but destroyed it at the maiden flight when the rx crystal failed.

Check out the 3dhs SHP.
It has a huge following, they say it is very forgiving and predictable.
3d, precision, it can do it all.

I'll throw my vote in for the 3dhs Velox too.
It's tame and relaxing on low rates, while also being ferocious on high rates (4s).
I hear it will float around happily on 3s, but on 4s its incredible.
I'm very happy with mine.

The feedback looks very positive for this plane, I have contacted 3DHS and I am going to place a order for the Velox.
Thanks for the advice, but I just have one more question, I have 3S available and read that the plane flies well on 3S and insane on 4S, will I have a good pull out of hover with the 3S motor setup?

I have the AJ Extra 300 from 3DHS. Was supposed to be the best thing going at the time, I find it Ok, but just average. Am still looking for something in the under 60" area that will outfly a Airfoilz or Tribute. ENJOY

problem is, where do you buy it from?
Tower doesn't list it, and if you type in GPMA 1550, it shows up as no item.........................sorta glad now though as i see the light and am ordering one the Extra 300 SHP 47" from 3DHS...............those birds fly like crazy and the quality is much better.

I have been trying to get hold of 3DHS international shipping department on FeathermerchantRC@sbcglobal.net, and I am not getting a very quick response on my order. Do you guys know another e-mail, web site or phone number that I can call then on?

Also what is the performance like with the 3S?

ya man, im in the same boat. I have owned a couple of the electrifly extra 330s, and a electrifly yak 54, the yak felt like it would fly great, but it always had issues with wing flutter on both the elevator stab and the rudder stab in knife edges... scary.... the extra ok with the 2100mah 3s packs, but in all honesty, im a pretty hardcore 3d pilot so i need the plane to work with me other wise i end up witha pile of balsa. With the extra i kept on throwing the cg farther and farther back, untill it looked funny flying, and regardless would still fall out of hard turns. I don' t believe this to be an issue with the airframe however, just the fact that a greatplanes bp2100 15c 3s weighed aaaallllloootttt. So im now ordering my 3rd extra airframe tonight and am planning on purchasing a couple of 1500 3s 25c packs, with the ligther pack, im dropping nearly 2.5 ounces which is a ton for a plane so small, so that shoudl put the wing loading right were i want it. but i will report in a few days. I threw that in not as a complaint of the airframe, but more so the fact that I knew you would be using the plane with your exsisting 2100mah packs, so just wanted to give a fair warning. but grab a few 1500 packs and im sure she will be awsome. great looking plane.

If you want something that will snap roll do not get an addiction!!!
It just looks plain crazy trying it is toooo stable to snap!
Get a 3DHS plane , you will never fly anything else once you get the first one!!
