Question UZI XXL ?

After watching the video of the UZI XXL I am thinking this is the perfect basher type foamy. I am kind of suprised that I have not found alot of post about it though.

I would really like to hear from any one with this plane there thoughts about it.

Me and my 12yo son used to fly 28% gasser and some glo 3d planes and after a couple years of not flying we need something to play around with in the field by our house that is a) durable
and b) something that can be flown in a little wind, and c) something that can of course 3d

The price tag is high but if it can take the abuse I saw in the video and if it flys well it would be worth the price to me.

Thanks in advance

OK I know someone has this plane!!!
I ordered it based on the video and it will arrive this week.
I have a few questions that I hope someone can help me out with.
I am going to use the Hacker A30 16M motor... Is there any advantage of using a phoenix 45 ESC instead of the hacker 30 that comes in the hacker combo?

OK I pm'd Max and he suggested I ask the question here in the forum so that others could see the answers and gain some info.
So someone help a brother out,lol
It might be a dumb question but I am not very experienced in electric motors, I hate to burn something up or buy something that I will not be happy with.

ronnie,
The CC45 ESC and the A30 16M is what I use in mine, it's perfectly over powered with that combo. With a APC 11-4.7 SF and a 3s TP 2100 PL I'm seeing around 35 amps so a CC45 will give you a little head room. If you use a 25C battery like the TP Extreme's or a Flightpower Evo 25, you'll definitely need the 45 amp. FYI, using a Slofly prop at high RPM's is not recommended and can be dangerous so be careful if you go this route. I never hit full throttle on mine, thats why I use them, I like the pull out and quick response, and after hundreds of flights I've never had a problem.

Thanks for the info heydick. My Plane arrived today so I will be starting on it this weekend. Another ? for ya...how do you know how many amps you are drawing? Do you use a meter or something when setting up new combos?
Also what kind and size carbon did you install in the wings and fuse? I am a power junkie too so thats why I wanted to mimic the setup in the video,lol
I used to bash around a funtana with a saito 180...insane pull out!!
Thanks alot for the info man

Heya Ronnie!! Good choice dude, you will love the UziXXL!!! Between Brett and I, I think we've gone through about 6 of them the past year, it's the only other electric I fly short of the FG foamy of course (shameless plug!). Flat out the best 3d confidence builder I have found.

Post your build thread! Brett and I will walk you through some of the mods we've done.

You're gonna love it, just take your time building the first one

I'll start a build thread because after looking at the cartoon instructions I am sure I will have some questions. You guys should be pros at putting them together by now.

LOL! Make that statement singular instead of plural and you got it right, "You, Brett, should be a pro at putting them together by now".
I build them and Max breaks them lol. I've slowly come to the realization that I'm Max's *Uzi Beotch* jk
