Does it seem heavy? How are the control surfaces for 3d? I want to get one for 3D but too many of these cheaper kits such as seagull are too heavy for 3d out of hte box.

It is surprisingly light feels really light but strong and it has great surfaces i got the plane to do 3D with i am saving up for the motor and then it will be in the air but i will post pics of all surfaces today sorry i got tied up yesterday :D

AND I GOT TO SAY I REALLY REALLY LIKE THIS PLANE CANT WAIT FOR THE 50cc !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My 30CC should be here tomorrow. I plan to do a full thread on it. I should have all the upgrades including the carbon spar, carbon gear, spinner and fancy tires.

I was going to go gas in fear this would be a heavy plane but after reading up a bit and I decided to go electric. In true "budget" style I went with stuff from hobby partz as well. I got the tacon 110 motor and some EXI servos. I have a CC 100 amp ESC and will use that for an 8s setup.

I have a stash of 4s 4000 40C zippy lipos so hoping that gives me a setup I can 3d with.

Not sure on prop yet probably a 19X10.

Since I have the lipos and ESC, I also got a deal on my airframe so I think I will have it flying for $240 MAX :)

Nice cant wait to see it i have a 50cc slick 540 on the way it should be here Thursday i have the servos and 56cc motor already so i cant wait !!!!! I will also be doing a build thread a unboxing video and a build video :D

I built my 30CC over the weekend. One aileron failed the "test" I gave it all all the hinge pins broke. I left the rest of them in on all the other surfaces but really might hve to replace them eventually. It only took me 8 hours or so to build it, I went with all hobby partz stuff including the electric motor.

I like the tail wheel how it does not require another servo or another pushrod going to the rudder servo.

Teh 3d arms it comes with are cool too. I only used them on the rudder so far but I think I will need them everywhere to get 3D throws.

Got a 20X6 wood prop right not probably not the best but its what I got.

No suprises on this except the hinges I hope they wont be the demise.

BTW I have the carbon fiber landing gear. Its a little bit lighter than the metal one. But the carbon fiber spar is like 1/2 the weight of the metal spar it comes with, well worth the money. I had to sand it to fit as it was a bit long but really easy to do.
I also have the nice CF spinner but the motor I have needs tapped for a screw to hold it on.

It was a perfect day to fly saturday but the hinge issue made me miss the test flight. So waiting for winds to go below 15 before I fly, we are in the 30s right now.

I took alot of pictures for a build thread will be posting it up.

okay sweet sorry to hear about the hinges and cant wait to see the pics :D
