what do you guys think about the new extra 330L from CAmodel? I'm about to maiden my WH edge and would love to build a kit and have another plane for the DA50. i was thinking about the CA 27% extra 300 until i saw the new extra 330

how do think the extra would compare against the WH edge?

Hi. Where did you see the info on the Extra 330. Is this available in the DA50 size? Thanks, Jim

That plane looks like a keeper. I wonder what the price will be on the new line. Hopefully they will be the same as the 300L line. I'll bet their design is to hit the 50cc, 80cc, 100cc, and 150cc engine range perspectively.

there is not to much info but you can see the plane on there website http://www.camodel.com.ar/
it comes in 26% - 30% - 33% - 38%

Aeroworks has them in stock. I just ordered the 30% 330L new kit, so we'll see when it gets here how it is. They have a manual online now - at least part of the manual.

Changes I noticed and Rocco at Aeroworks pointed out between the old kit was this one has more interlocking to it, counterbalances on the elevator, and the kits is set up for a normal bevel on the ailerons instead of the old top hinge style (which most people changed to a bevel anyway).

Price went up a fair bit. Old 31% was $425 new 30% was $649 but I got a good deal on it shipped for $600.

Getting hard to find kits now period, let alone one of a plane you actually want. Aeroworks has the edge but I wanted an extra. Plus it's kind of an odd size - I wanted a 75cc size airframe etc... To me the 27% is just a tad too small for the DA-50 tho I know lots of people run those on em I could use a touch more size/wing area. I plan on sticking a 3W80xi on this one so we'll see. Not a fast builder so this may fly next year....

Its too bad they increased the price that much. The CA line was the best kit for the price, now Carden will be again.

Bob101

Yeah but Carden only makes 35% and 40% kits now. I wish they would jump on the 30-31% size bandwagon now that there are an abundance of hot motors in that size - ZDZ80 and the 3W80 etc...

Other than CA and AeroWorks I don't know anyone who makes 50cc and 80cc size kits.

Lanier makes good kits but you have to do a lot of lightening mods on the airframes, and buy the fiberglass parts. Then they fly just as good as any other.
