3d kit??
 

ok.. i've been thinking wayyy ttoooo much about planes now. since school starts i havent touched any of my plane ..literally. and spring break is coming up... and i need something to do. so i am currently looking for a 3D kit that would fly a .46 engine. been out since school starts, so i have no knowledge of new planes. please let me know what would be the best kit for me.. thanks for your time

RE: 3d kit??
 

Chinn Yak profile or, if you can find one, Laser 3D. Laser 3D is a great flying birds, just don't put the wing tips on it.

I like the CA Funky 40. It comes in at about 4.5lb ready to fly. Great plane to fly. It's available at Aeroworks

RE: 3d kit??
 

i greatly appreciate your inputs.. the FUNKY caught my eyes. its a good looking plane. but how its the flying ability?? i looked at the movie provided on aero-works.net and there wasnt much 3D goin on. also... i just want to know any inputs you guys might have on the SIG somethin extra. it is a good 3D plane w/ tailfeather MODS?? thanks again

RE: 3d kit??
 

I'd definitely choose the Chin Yak over the Something Extra!

RE: 3d kit??
 

I'd second the laser vote, but don't expect much pull-out from a 46.

You'd more likely have success with a cougar type fun-fly, but I don't know what kits are available except the Dave Smith Panther, and i think thats UK only

RE: 3d kit??
 

The Something Extra is NOT a 3D plane, even with tail mods. I tried modifying the tail and it didn't work. The funky is only a little better. If you want it in the .40 size AND you want good 3D with a .46, you will end up with a modern profile at around 4 lbs. At about 4.5- 5 lbs, you will loose adequate 3D power with a .46. My suggestion is the Chin Yak, MOJO, EF-edge, Bad boy, or the OMP- edge/yak.

Don't forget the OMP Katana P! ;)

Have to agree with the rest, Somethin' Extra is a nice sport plane. Not really 3D capable. I know, as I have one that is for sale. :D
