Things are changing quickly in this hobby.


The planes that are available were all ready around when the DA50 was invented, the new plane that you have listed are more or less built for the DA50.


If you want a 27-28% plane on gas that flys like a 35-40% you will have to wait like the rest of us.


For TRUE 3d flying and safe low aerobatics a 78" needs to be 13.5-14.5 lbs, not possible with a gasser.


Hand tight, XFRC, CARDEN, AEROWORKS, are all coming with new birds for the Spring shows.

BTW, a 27% CA extra can be BUILT from kit at 14.5 lbs with a da 50, not an arf but you will be flying before the extreme flight planes are out.

This is not the Extreme Flight RC 28% Extra. We are not affiliated with Extreme Aircraft.

Just wanted to put my $.02 in...

Chip Hyde will soon be releasing a 3D version of his Double Vision pattern plane. I had the opportunity to fly one of the prototypes this weekend (DA 50 for power) and I can honestly say it performs like nothing I have ever flown. The standard 3D stuff almost seems too elementary!! After just a couple minutes on the sticks I was doing stuff I knew to be well out of my abilities...

Thanks for the stick time Chip!! Rest assured I will own one of these when they come available.
