I'm In !!!!

wow looks like my kinda plane! Absolutely count me in!!

count me in! i love extras!

count me in please!!

WOW looks a good'un count me in XD

ok im in, looks good,

well, where to start? ok, first of all comes the building of the thing, and to be honest, 3-4 hours on a friday night will have you in the air by saturday morning, all that is required is that the peices of epp be stuck together ( in the right order obviously) with some foam safe ca and kicker, it really is just that simple! some things that are a good thing to add but not included in the kit are some carbon strips along the fuselage sides to make the thing rigid, otherwise with full 3d rates you will see the model bend an alarming amount in the air which does not make rolling loops or cubans easy at all, also, i decided not to install the included carbon landing gear as this model will hand lauch with absolute ease , will be strong enough to resist fairly hard belly landings and ( if you are good at 3d) can be simply grabbed out of the air from the hover! now weve dealt with building issues, ill talk abuot flying, now, this model is an absolute joy to intermediate and expert modellers alike! it is ideal for a first 3d model and also as a transition from the high wing trainer. it is so easy to 3d, i have had it harriering around my garden, the local park, and basketball courts and countless indoor venues!   now this model, frankly, is an absolute treat, you can fly it anywhere, on cheap radio gear, small cheap motors and a 900 mah lipo, so, sou really can have this thing in the air for next to nothing! another thing is, if you carefully cut about 1cm off each wingtip then it can do anything that the pilot is capable of! i have had it doing a rolling harrier under a set of rugby posts! with the 1cm peices that have come off the wingtips, try carefully glueing them onto the horizonlat fuzelage peices just behind the wing whilst bringing the cg back about 1/2-1 cm this will dramatically increase 3d performance to a level where you can sustain a hands off hover for a good length of time. thanks for reading <a href="http://robotbirds.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=29_30&products_id=224"><img title=" Blade EPP 3d " src="http://null/images/401010new.jpg" width="100" height="72" /></a>

count me in.

im in, i live for leccy park flyers

lovely plane count me in!

wo great pics guys, last week i maidened my new extana and found out exactly how overpowered it was the hard way!! took off on 1/3 throttle, climbed out to a nice height flew it round for a bit on 1/2 throttle. then i opened up the taps and the exeleration was so great that it ripped the rudder off!!! now im not sure if anybody has tried this but landing a plane without a tailplane really is not for the faint hearted!! anyway all fixed up now and ready to fly again another day.

mosquito sea fury beaufighter in that order oh and all electric and preferably quite small thanks!!

ha ive got this new "hard cell" lipo and  guess what!! its not bulged !!! and i wouldnt really do that to lipos if i were you youll end up killing yourself!!( if u want a nice explosion, chuck a half full tank of methanol on a fire  and some people were getting me to change to i/c, no. ive had trouble with i/cs and they really annoy me, electric is the way forward!! the only problem with electric is budgets!! tom
