New Project
 
Hi guys,

I have been a bit busy for the past 3 years raising a family and working, so the planes have been in storage for a while.

Things are getting back to normal and I would like to take on a new project. I see that the industry has changed and there are allot more options available in relation to models and gas engines.

I want a small compact ARF sport/aerobatic plane, it doesn´t have to be a 3D monster, as I need to get the rust out of my fingers first, but I definitely want something that I can place a small compact 25 -35cc gas engine. I see that there are several options available and wanted to know what is the best.

My hears are open to receive your input

Price range?

Aeroworks gets my vote, Yak or Extra.

Edit: Wait, "small, compact" but for 35CC gas??

If you have intermediate to advanced pilot skills and a computer radio, the Sig "Something Extra" is the best bang for the buck.
It can be purchased as an ARF or KIT. Very nice airplane with very few bad habits.

Thanks for the input, the sig something extra is ok, but is too small and doesn´t look like it will take a gas engine.

I like the idea of the aeroworks extra, what engine do you suggest?

and yes, I have a computer radio and I am (was) an advance pilot.

Well, I think I found what I have been looking for.... I am thinking in going with the Aeroworks extra 300 60" and the new DLE 20.

What do you think of that combination, has anyone tryed it?
