CA 31% Extra... is 17# realistic ?

btomlinson · 01-02-2006, 09:42 AM

Anyone have one of these ? I was looking at the 27%er for a DA50 but a modd'ed 31% at 17 pounds would be Schweeeet
They list 17-20# for a advertised weight...

Carbon gear and wingtube... cored wings and stab...yummy

I had one of these and it was my first big plane. Very, very good plane for IMAC and awsome for 3D too. I will post a video of it flying later this morning. 17-20 is very realistic........mine came in at 22 lbs with heavier fiberglass gear, smoke system and full fuel/smoke tanks. I had a 3W-75ius in mine too.

And on the other side, Planes Plus has their 27% Extra ARF on sale for $300.

for me 27% is better for the low money i put on, servos etc... etc... the diference with a 31% is big,,, i need all more stronger,, 27% 50cc 31% 80cc........................................

the music in that vid was sick!!!!

CA's Epsilon is sick too, I got it and it is freakin awsome, I imagine that the extra would be too.

Foam cored wings are the way to go. It is alot less easy to leave a dent in the sheeting, I hate when you do that with built up wings.

What are the specs on the 31%? I have a 34% Extra.. 103" wing.. about 25-27lbs with 3W 106. Lose 2 Lbs. with CF gear, tube, and Li-Ions

We almost bought one of these as a fun 3D plane for the field I fly at now. He wanted 2200 for it though, which is a little bit steep for a used one IMO. I think the span is 93 inches.

Alert!!!!

there's one on RCU with a zdz 80

Turnkey!!!

3Dkid330 · 01-03-2006, 05:45 PM

That's the one we almost got on EBay, but it didn't meet it's reserve.
