Default CA Models 24% Extra 330

What do you want to know?
Pro's: pretty light 11.25 lbs all up w OS 160
Harrier, torque rolls very well
Fly's well in standard Imac stuff

Cons: Way tail heavy w OS 160
Huge rudder is not as effective as thought, the stretched L version's rudder is just to far away from the prop.
Gear is WAY too short. A fellow on RCU is working on carbon fiber gear and I will post about it when done. I believe he is going to sell the whole CA line of gear replacements

Neither pro or con but because of the short cowl it requires cutting off most of the firebox and it will take a few flights to get all your thrusts correct. small cowl intake area is showing overheating of motor when in harrier

Overall I like mine pretty well, just wish the thing had a bigger cowl, for balance and overheating concerns
