Default RE: Dave Patrick 26% Extra 330L

I had one of those:
Pre-ordered it, waited 6 months to get it. Had a Saito 1.80.
Came out way, way... way tail heavy: talked to DP, and did his suggested fix: all pull/pull tail surfaces control.......... Still had to add over 1 lbs of lead in the nose, even though I like my planes on the tail heavy side. I ended up with a 15+++ lbs sport plane.
That was a frustrating period with a lot of waisted time and money. I sold it.
DON'T WAIST YOURS !!!
When it comes to ARFs, I thinks H9 makes the best: I love my Funtana 90/Saito 1.50, Funtana .40/ Saito .91, and 33% Cap 232/ DA 100. I have built and sold other H9 models, they were all great but did not respond to my flying style.

My current favorite in the mid-size: FUNTANA 90.

Enjoy the flying
