I have built one.. 31% Extra - it was very complete, good quality wood and pretty easy to assemble. I would call it an intermediate builders kit - not as easy as a Columbo Anderson (Grandma could build it) , but not as time consuming as a Carden. About mid ground. I am an advanced builder so I found it easy.. I had it rough framed up in less than one week, in the air in one month and I wasn't working on it full time. I am also contemplating purchase of the Velox ARF. So far, I have seen nothing but good things from this company.

I am hoping to get mine in a week or so. I am having Aerotech build it. I have a little page on my web site. www.mikerc.com

I will be adding pictures and comments when I get it. Already have a DA100 and all hardware. Just need to get servos.

I am having it covered yellow and going to flame it. Black to red.

Let us know how your arc is.

Take care,
Mike

Hello,

I have 5 of thier planes and built four of them and had the 5th built. By far I have had a much easier time bui;ding them versus my Carden Cap. I like my Carden but its alot more work to build the fuselage. Almost triple. Sheeting the planes is no different in time. I have been very satisfied and have my 6th plane on order now for next year. Great guys, willing to go the extra mile for sure.

Thanks
Dave Miller

Can someone help me out with throws?


35% aerotech edge 540 (not T)


Looking for inches or mm for all surfaces up and down in both standard flight and 3D.

Also where was the CG located in relation to your wingtube? And how did you lift the plane to check?




I should be flying by the weekend or at latest next weekend!

Havne't taken any new ones yet.................I've finished rigging everything except one wing. I have to fix the hatch that cracked during my move(its about 50% fixed now). I still need to add a few more decals.

I'm supposed to go this weekend to run the engine and make sure everything is double checked by a third party.


Maybe fly it this weekend or next weekend.


Havne't talked with John yet...........was hoping someone else had the numbers here first.
