Any threads here on this plane? A search turned up info on the big ones and the little one, but not the 58" version.

I would like to hear from anyone who has it. I'm looking to put a 91 Surpass in one.

.

I have about 100 flights on my electric 58" EF Extra. It's decked out with hyperion motor, esc, bec and batteries (the guts from my busted up Hyperion Yak 40e). It is easily the best plane I've owned. It is a bit more expensive than other 40-60 size ARF's that I've owned, but it is worth the $. The quality is good, it looks great and it flies great. It will do 3d and pattern too (I took 3rd last month in a 402/intermediate pattern contest last month with it).

91 Surpass is way heavy for this bird. It is a 5 pounder.
If I were going fuel power it would be a OS55AX or a Saito 82

Yeah, that and some other issues have made me decide to pass.

I'm about to start grandson #2's training, and my gasser and his trainer won't both fit in my truck at the same time. So I need a smaller model for me; but I want something nice. On a whim, I bought a UCD 46 at the LHS, put it together, and was "buttoning it up" the other day when I realized I simply didn't WANT the thing. I would prefer something that looks like a real airplane; and I'm not into flip-flopping around either.

The new Aero-Works QB Extra 60 looks nice; I pre-ordered one. I don't usually volunteer to be an unpaid beta-tester for a new model, but what the heck...

The Extra may be a good one dialed down a bit
My personal workhorse trainer is a Sig 4*60 with an OS 91 Surpass-II. This one is an ART (My dad, Art, built it).
I have used it for 5 years training folks locally and it is still alive

I'm not going to use this airplane for a trainer; I have a trainer for the kid. This model will be for ME to fly, since I cannot get my gasser Extra and his trainer both in the truck.
