Is this plane too big for my engine?
Been looking around for a new plane having an OS 120 Surpass III pumped. Wanting a semi scale aerobat, pref an Extra 300, with plug-in wings and canopy hatch.
The most intresting plane I have found so far is the Plane Plus Extra 24% having a wingspan of 73" and a lenght of 69". Unfortunatly Plane Plus does not know estemated weight of this plane at this stage. I suppose they have not seen the all new plane for them selfs yet? Question is do you think this plane is too big for my engine? I am not into 3D but would like an aerobat to perform. If too big I will most likely go for the Carl Goldberg Edge 540 that has a 67" wingspan.

I think the Planes Plus Extra would work, it won't have unlimited vertical but it should fly well. The OS 120 pump is a strong motor, give it a try.

Sounds good. I would be happier to hear this if it was not from a RCU member claiming he has payed $1400 to Plane Plus, and then not seen either a plane or any responce to his e-mails asking for his goods or money back... Stories like this makes me wounder if I could trust PP for an intercontinental order?
Next question up would be wich other plane in this size offers plug in wings, canopy hatch while being an semi scale aerobat?

Try the following planes:
Black Horse Extra 300 60 - cheap and does fly well, will be pretty powerful on your OS120
WM Extra 330L 60 - dependable quality for sure and the OS120 will be just right
