Default Entry Level 3D ARF.

Guys and Gals.

I need to buy myself a good entry level ARF for doing good 3D manuevers. Which one should i buy. There are loads and loads of kit available. That makes the decision even more difficult.

So you 3D masters out there suggest me a good cheap 40/60 size 3D ARF kit.

waiting for the best response.

cheers

Any Morris Hobbies .40 size ARFs - approx. $150.00
Extase by S2G (RCPlanePower)(.60 size) - $220.00
Magic3D (prob. the cheapest w. limitations) - $100.00
TT Slow Flying P51 (flat bottom wing, lots of fun) - $120.00

Do not get a Thunder Tiger Fun Fly ARF (Extra or G200) both are too heavy, crappy covering and fuses not very strong.

Get the Carl Goldberg Extreme 330. One of the lightest ARFs out there and completely capable of ANY maneuver. See it at www.carlgoldbergproducts.com. Its my favorite of the profile ARFs.

Robert,
I would call the Madness good, but far from cheap. If it's cheap in Ireland, maybe a vacation is in order he he.

Has anybody flown Modeltech's new Magic Extra? Looks kinda like a cross between a SE and the Magic. The ad said it knifes better (well it should since the Magic don't knife) and is designed for a 46... Should make a killer intro 3D flyer.

The originail post asked for an entry level 3D plane. I have a Seduction Ono special and I love it, but it is NOT an entry level 3D plane. The profile style aircraft are much easier to learn 3D on "dude", thats why I recommended the Ex-treme 330. I spoke with Goldberg Friday and they have a whole warehouse full of them here in the states. Price is $159.95

An Entry level 3 D plane , woudl be one that is lighter than the aerobatic aircrafts & have larger surface areas for throws .

Saying this , any of the kits which ahve been discussed is this thread are good enoughg for entry level 3D , excepting the Seduction Uno , as it is a good mix of Aerobatic as well as 3 D.

REgards.

Those of you who like the Goldberg Extreme 330 - Better snatch one up. Lanier bought them, and who knows if they will keep the Goldberg lineup as-is.

The Ex-treme 330 is actually the first release for Goldberg since Lanier purchased them.

Practise is the best thing for it anyway, not the plane. So pick one and have fun!!

Good Deal!
I suspected Lanier would put more of good-than-bad slant to the Goldberg line, but when someone gets bought out, sometimes ya just don't know. I still am sorry to see Goldberg go.... I learned on an Eagle II I built in 1990. Nostalgia, I guess!
Keep 'em Flying!

Its not that much more expensive. And when you cosider covering, glue, etc etc...it kinda evens out. But its down to what you prefer really!
