gp extra 330l
I HAVE BEEN FLYING ONE FOR THE LAST YEAR . THE PLANE BUILDS NICE BUT IS NOT AS LIGHT AS I HAD HOPED. MINE HAS A 3W 100 FOR POWER AND IT DRAGS IT AROUND VERY WELL CONCIDERING IT WEIGHS 27 LBS. THE PLANE TRACKS GREAT AND ROLLS VERY TIGHT. ITS BEST QUALITY IS ITS RUDDER AUTHORITY. IT CAN DO KNIFEDGE LOOPS EASILY AND LOW AND SLOW KNIFEDGE PASSES ARE VERY PREDICTABLE. THE PLANE IS SOMEWHAT 3D CAPABLE BUT NOT PERFORM ELEVATORS AND HARRIERS VERY WELL. IT WATERFALLS VERY NICE AND FLATSPINS GREAT TOO. EVEN THOUGH IT HAS A FAIRLY SMALL ELEVATOR IT STILL HAS ENOUGH AUTHORITY TO TORQUE ROLL VERY WELL. OVER ALL A GOOD PLANE FOR THE MONEY. IT DOSNT HAVE A GREAT WING LOADING AND NEEDS LAND AT A HIGHER RATE OF SPEED OR SHE WILL TIP STALL. I JUST BOUGHT A 35 % CARDEN EXTRA. ALTHOUGH THEY ARE BOTH THE SAME WEIGHT AND GENERAL SIZE THE CARDEN HAS EXACTLY 300 INCHES MORE IN THE WING AREA. THERE IS A BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO AND THE CARDEN WILL ELEVATOR AND HARRIER PERFECT. I WOULD RECOMEND THE GPM 330L TO ANYONE WANTING TO GET INTO GIANT AEROBATIC AIRPLANES AND I FORGOT TO MENTION IT DOES BEAUTIFULL ROLLING CIRCLES. HOPE THIS HELPS
