Hi.
How is the final impression of this plane now that it has been flewn for a while by all you guys.
I am considering to try this (and the 50size) to have as my rock n roll 3D plane.
So. if you summary all of the other threads here into one. how does it actually fly?
what flaws and strenghts does it have?
any modifications that should be carryed out allready at the buildingstages?
What all up weights does it end on?
Anything else you would say in this?
Is it among the best 3d of its class or would you after trying it rather reccomend something else and why?
Hope for some good answer.
You know it is good to have a summary thread like this instead of a lots of other to search for.. dont you aggreed?

1. Even if you don't use lite ply/carbon on wing spar assembly use PowerPro or Spiderwire wrapped and CA'd around spar. Haven't had any spar issues so far. Pretty straight build except for wing assembly. Don't skimp on glue at the fuse wing joint either. A few more grams is worth it compared to having folding wings(in flight). It's not a Navy plane!
2. Go light and get a motor with about 300+watts(at least 25-35amps) on a 11 x 4.7SF prop or above. Or an e prop if you've got an inrunner or a higher KV outrunner.
3. Just cause I like tailwheels, get the World Models lite tailwheel assembly for taxiing better.
Just a couple of suggestions I used on mine successfully. Good luck it's a fun plane!

I have the EP version and it's a blast. It flies and floats very easily, didn't take me long to hover with it either. I've been steadily moving the cg back so I can get into some real nasty 3d! Too bad they don't make this airframe in a 50cc or 100cc!

You stole my line...that's what I said too! I would love to see the 50cc version.
