3dFLY?
 
Anyone have any experience with these planes: www.3dfly.co.kr? Some really, really sharp schemes but my grasp of Korean is lacking.

Will do. I'm in the market for a 70" plane, so if this doesn't pan out, I may try one of Peak Models (I'm partial to the SU-31); WildHare Baby Edge; etc.

me too! I like the 26cc size! SU31 is a good plane, but SU26M is better!

switching gears back to 3dFLY - the total cost would be $378 shipped. That's actually in line with other manufactures for the most part, but right at the threshold where I think it may be a bit much for an unknown quantity. Couple of notes he sent back to me:

1.Oracover.[Made in germany]2.Carbon servo horn Set include 3.Really Complex scheme4.High quality tail gear 5.High quality horn and linkage set 6.Smoke canopy

Anyone have experience with wire transfers? Also want to make sure I don't get hammered when I pick the plane up at the post office.

Well, we'll see how this turns out. Payment sent (they take paypal). Still, price isn't too shabby. Got the yellow edge (red was out of stock). Given that my other choices also included the Hyperion Extra 120 and the Fliton Extra 120, I really like the scheme.

Wow - that was fast. Anyone know how long EMS takes from the Far East? I have to make sure my wife isn't home.... [X(]

Keep us informed! I also like the look of their planes. Some build pictures would be great.:D

I actually think I may go electric with this plane.

Got the plane and due to work - wasn't able to get much done until this weekend. Nice touch was a pilot included with the plane. Had to trim and fit the canopy myself, which wasn't any fun, but the build is pretty straight-forward and was helped out with some pics e-mailed to me by 3dFly. I was quoted a CG of 150-160mm. Seemed a bit far back, but was confirmed. I decided to go with Hyperion digital servos (UMD for the rudder and FMD for the elevator, ailerons). Wing tube was also a bit too tight and needed some sanding.
Now I'm waiting for my PAU spinner.

Whats the wieght on your plane?, Im thinking os 1.60

JPHen 12-06-2008 10:24 AM

RE: 3dFLY?
 
I'll have to double check with a better scale, but I have approximately 5 lbs 5 oz with servos, receiver, and A123 rx pack. I've checked a few other threads as I think this plane is basically the same as the Cermark and Peak planes, and they are all putting their CG's any where from 105 to 120mm. Heck, the wing tube is at 100mm, so I doubt the CG is two inches further back.
