    Extra 330 EPP Full Fuse Coming soon to Aerobeez! Pics!

    I was flying mine around earlier this morning, got a bit close to the earth, and tore off one of the side force generators. I would have thought that it would yaw all over place, been unstable in high alpha, and had weird knife edge with just one SFG on duty. That wasn't the case at all, and I...

    I'm one of statistics who " should not be trusted, are likely antisocial to a criminal extent " as I have no FB dealings. (British FB study) I was able to get through during business hours by phone. The extremely helpful lad on CS said he'd sell me a tail and ship it with the planes I...

    I posted elsewhere today. Things resolved nicely. A loud shout out for good customer service. Soon will have a lighter 3cell green Extra, and a Orange 4cell one.

    So I've ruined my horizontal stabilizer\elevator during an encounter with a chunk of ice while taxiing. I'll fix an aileron, or rudder, but I'm not keen on fixing the horizontal stabilizer, when they go it is often dirt nap time. This fix will add too much weight to the plane in a place quite...

    Well I've lived with this plane a while now. I have since bought the new V2 Slick out of the same factory as well (Skywing not Aerobeez). I've had a few of these 48in EPP planes now, so here is my personal preferences in the order that I bought them. Full fuse Edge over the flatter built up...

    I have the 130gm 870kv one. About a 100 flights on it, equal number of 3,and 4cell flights. I oil with Scorpion Motor Lube once in a while, so after only 100 flights I'm not qualified for a trustworthy evaluation of durability. This is my 5th plane out of this factory. All have been quite...

    Had a well packaged, double boxed Orange Extra arrive today. Compared its general dimensions to a Skywing Edge, and MXS. I can confirm that it (Extra) is a totally different design. I actually have the MXS wings on the Edge fuselage since they fit with minimal work. There is no way that could...

    Mine's ordered, an orange one. Probably like the green more, but I see orange/red better in the sky. On the way are some 4cell 1800mah as well for it. Just stripped out the electronics from a Skywing MXS to finish it off.

    I plan on using an Omega, and switching props so I could use 3 or 4 cells, depending on the wind that day.

    Eager to see more of this plane. Anyone able to say the motor requirements, 35-42, 35-48, either with the included wooden spacers, like other kits have.

    New Here? Introduce yourself!

    Hi, I'm Shawn Green, it's good to be here guys. From Canada, about an hour and a half north-east of Toronto. Always been a fiddler, to keep the hands, and mind busy. Pushed the r/c trucks too hard so that I'd have something to mess with ( so the wife told me). The awesome thing with 3D is...

    How many years have you been in the hobby?

    I'm in about 10 years now. Started to dabble in 3D about 5 years ago after reading "How To 3D" articles on the Horizon Hobby site. Self taught, just before the ARF revolution, but just in time for the easy to repair eps foam one.
