My New Design - Extra Extra 71" Saito 180 Power

[guinnb]

For those that haven't heard or seen this yet we are hosting a Pro Bro Event in the Louisville area on June 12-14th. As part of that event I am building an EE V2 as a raffle prize to generate funds for our local club. If you're interested here's the raffle information:

The plane pic is of the intended covering scheme. Plan is to begin covering on Monday.

Also note that the plane will be built ready for you to mount your gear and motor. If arranging delivery is a problem (shipping is not an option) or you can't pick it up at the event I can arrange to have a kit shipped to the winner for he/she to build instead. I am also emailing pictures of ppl's actual tickets so they can have a record of their ticket numbers (assuming they are not local or attending the event).

Hi Guys,

I`am interested in buying a kit of the EE V2 as i have a YS14DZ that`s begging me to put him in a plane and i saw the video of this plane and man it`s a smooth flyer congrats on the design.

Also this is going to be my first ever atempt to building a kit i hope it won`t be too complex for a first time build?.

Where can i buy the kit? what`s the price? is everything included in the kit for the build?(balsa,gear etc.).

Thanks.

PF,

The build should be fine for a newbie. Besides, if you have any questions you can call me.
The kits I'm selling now are "short kits" which include more than most "short kits". They have all the CNC parts as well as plans and landing gear. You have to supply a few sticks and sheets along with the hardware and wing tube and of your choice (CF or AL, CF is my preference by far). Here's a pic showing the things you need to get. You'll see that 99% of the kits cost is in the CNC parts but that is also about 95% of the plane. Even the tail and ailerons are CNC cut for you with the exception of the L.E. and T.E. tri-stock on the hinge lines. The short kits are $165 plus shipping (been averaging around $28). I'm getting ready to place the next order for kits to be CNC'd. It usually takes around 3 weeks for my CNC source to get them to me.


Oh, btw, the YS 140DZ would be perfect for this plane! I have the original prototype EE (1lb heavier) flying with a YS160DZ and the power is insane! The 140DZ would be really sweet! Gotta love the DZ's throttle response and smoothness...nothing out there like it in the glow world.

Thanks for the interest,

Brian

Hi Brian,

Thanks for the really quick response i will be looking forward to building this bird,seems like it will be a lot of fun.As soon that i`am ready to place the order i will look you up,are you able to ship the kit to Aruba(Caribbean)?.

If i send you extra funds would you be able to get the extra balsa and all the accesories to complete the kit?,as our stock of balsa and specific items are very limited here on our small island?.If not i could work it out?.

We will be having a big event in October here on the island for the 35th anniversary of our club and it`s going to be a Fun Fly event and i think i could compete with the EE in this event.

Nice to hear that the Dingo is going to be a good match for this plane maybe a little lighter and lower wing loading awesome!!!!.

And thanks for your offer to help me get in the right track i really appreciate it.

Best Regards,

Greg.

Yeah, I can get you what you need to finish the kit. I'll look it up and see if I can get a total cost. In order to ship the fuse tubes they will need to be split and spliced back together on your end. No big deal but I wanted to let you know. I do have an Aluminum wing tube and socket if you wanted to go that way. I had it for my next plane but just sold the last kit in stock that I was going to use it on. If not, I can order the CF tube/socket.

I'll check on the shipping....

Shipping is a little hard to get exact. Via USPS it appears to range from $68 to $87. I'd just about have to get the kit totally together and take the box to the post office and get an exact number but at least you have something to plan on.

Here's a couple shots of Conkster's new EE. Man I love the looks of this one!

Hi Brian,

Wow that would be awesome..!!! please let me know how much is everything going to cost?,no hurry tho as i will have the money in about two weeks to order the kit and all the extra items as i don`t have a budget like i would like to have .

I would really like this bird as light as possible so i would really like the cf tube and socket if you don`t mind.Thanks for the heads up about the fuse tubes if you say that it will not be a big deal i believe you .

Yea the shipping will be in that ballpark but glad that you are able to ship it here with not much trouble.

That`s indeed an awesome looking EEV2 i hope he could make a video and give us a flight report of the maiden?.
I have watched the videos of the EEV2 on youtube and man it`s a great flying machine you really can tell that she`s a floater i`am very excited about this project.

Thanks again Brian for the help much appreciated..!!.

Here's a picture of the EE raffle plane in ARF form. Just have to finish the ailerons by Saturday and it's ready to go.

Get your tickets (if you're not in person) before tomorrow night at midnight as I'll be at the field all day Saturday and won't be able to accept any more online tickets.

Thanks,

Brian

Here's a shot of the bottom of the wing...

Grats go to D. Scott (a local club member) for winning the EE V2 plane. He, as an incredibly gracious act) then had the plane auctioned off and the proceeds given back to the club! What a stand up guy!

Can't wait to see this one in the air!
