Default I can't find a nice ARF Extra 300/330 .60 size

I can't find myself a nice Extra 300/330 .60 size ARF for my OS 120 pumped. I had the GP kit and loved it but now gone. Need a replacement. Fliton Extra 330 is nice but too small, Plane Plus Extra 300 24% is not released but seams nice but too big... Any suggestions?

I have this plane and it is a nice plane. There is a short thread on it here in the arf section. I am using the saito 100 on mine.

I seen 2 WM Extra 60 with 120 sized engines fly, both are stunning, one with the OS120FS and the otehr the the TT120 2C. Loads of power.

The Blackhorse Extra is a nice arf for around 150.The Skyshark Edge is also a nice plane.I have the BH Extra with a magnum .91 2s on it,good fun plane.My buddy had the SS Edge w/ a 1.50 saito on it,nice while it lasted.He snapped it out of a split s too low,not anything wrong with the plane.

Thanks guys, lots of suggestions. So far I am leaning towards the WM since it has plug-in wings and double beveled tail plane. If I would go for an Edge 540 I think the Carl Goldberg is on the top of my list. A bit pricy but looks nice with all the added features. However Extra is my first choise.

The Black Horse has 2 piece wing and ribbed tail surfaces too.The wing slides together then bolts on like a conventional 1 piece.I got a thread with pics on here somewhere.

Never officially weighed it,but w/ the 2 stroke .91 and pitts muff Im gonna guess somewhere in the 7 to 7-1/2 lb range.A 1.20 would be awsome on it.It has unlimited vertical with the 2cycle.It is one of the most Ready to fly ARFs Ive ever seen.The canopy is complete w pilot installed,hinged/pinned control surfaces,decent hardware,and everything fits well.Biggest hangup is it is setup for the engine to be at a 45deg angle.It performs some wild snap moves and the roll rate is fast and crisp.I found it on Ebay,but I think several distributors handle them.

7.5-8.5 lbs ? is that what yours weighs? kinda porky for a 63inch plane

I am not sure on the weight. I would guess 7.5. I will get the scale out tomorrow and see where it is at.

ok great I know the company can only guess
is it well built? you can't really beat the price for 125 shipped if it's build well.
I have a ys140 waiting for a firewall might a bit to much for that plane I was thinking maybe a 68-73 inch

I actually built 3 BH Extras ... lost 2 to a RX prob. With my TT61 it was flying happily. I suspect the AUW is about 7 lbs max, possibly 6.75 lbs. It is lighter than my WM Super Chipmunk. The plane is cheap and easy to build. I think by the time I built No 3, it took like only 4 hours to complete.

The only weakness I found was the landing gear, and I have reinforced it and suspect it will never fail. I think it is the best deal out there at $125. Mine was hovering at a click under half throttle with a Saito 100. If you are looking for a nice plane for your ys 140, look at the giles 202 by CMpro.
