Hi,

I've made a 3Dbatix diablo, extra, and a foame2x. All planes fly great, only the 2x is much harder to fly when CG is set back. It'll knife edge without rudder assistance (I mean: it won't turn on ailerons only).

Something I have to say though: the Axi 2212/34 is an excellent motor, but next time I'll have a 2208/34 to power the plane. It's a littlebit lighter, and has more than enough power.

In general, the Batixplanes are a tad heavy, 6mm foam and the big axi make quite a load at the end.

I plan on building a new extra, with all the weight saving I can get. The axi2212 lets the planes hover at half throttle, this means the planes are really overpowered.

Getting the wing load down will allow for a lighter motor, and will have a positive affect on slow flight properties. I will probably also integrate airbrakes to increase airflow over the control surfaces. (slow flight with forced air (from the prop) passing over the controls gives much better reactivity).

I also like nice painting or decals on a plane, but they increase the weight more than you think.

I love my 3Dbatix planes!
