Hey all,
I’m looking for a new airframe for my backup plane. I have an OS 1.6 FX platform and would like to try a Extra 330 or something. I can get a creekhobbies for around 200 bucks but I’d rather something with an airfoil stab and rudder. I’m replacing the GP-202 and already have a Linear Edge 540T in the works.
Anyone got any good recommendations? I’m just getting the hang of TR’n now. Elevators are a must. This plane is going to be primarily used to practice 3D.
Thanks
RickP

NICE!
I like the wing farings, double taper on the wing, must fly like a cap232. I was seriously considering the Extra 330, I can't belive I didn't see this one. Gotta finish the Edge first, this weekend....

The Katana is a great plane,very stable and low speed is awesome,nothing like a Cap,It lands s;ower than an Edge,and is very aerobatic.
