Default 80cc Kits?

Any suggestions on 80cc size kits - not arf's, other than the CA series of extras?

I already built an old model CA and a new model CA and have no desire to build another new series CA one.

Anything aerobatic will do doesn't have to be extreme 3d etc..extras/edges/caps. Haven't come up with anything other than the CA's so far.

About 94-96" would be perfect.

Or for a cheap model that if built true and light is a very nice flying and very scale looking bird.

The Great Planes 33% Extra 330.

Saw one fly with a ZDZ80 a few months back, and it could do anything.

I built around 2/3 of one a while back, and got side tracked and ended up selling it.
It was a enjoyable build.

Just another option!

Heh thanks. I just finished a 30% Cap so looking for something else. Those old Carden kits are OK but I wish they would release an 80cc size kit made like the new 35-42% ones.

I'll look into those others, something I hadn't looked at. I'm more of a bore big holes in the sky than 3-D. If I want to 3-D I break out the profile, but want my scale planes to fly scale like.

Thanks.

That actually looks pretty sweet, don't see anything on thier site about having an importer/dealer in the US tho.

If I could get that here in the US I think it would be just the thing to build.

Also I can't read some of the info on the site

No it won't be a 100ccm plane, the weight with and ZDZ80 B2 is 21 lbs.

Price is someway cheap, I have asked on the 2,2 m and the total price including postage is 223 Euro's = 325 U$ , somewhere I have seen the price for the 2,6 m it will bearound 450U$.

Try search for user MomoBrut in here and you'll see

Here's the thread.
Velox Revolution II- good for 3D

Hey Bob,

Why not a 35% Carden 260 with an 80cc to 85cc @ 19 to 20 lbs. This would be very easy to build in this size of airframe, and would be the sh#t to fly.

Bob

A lanier Laser with the Godfrey aftermarket deck, hatch cover and fiberglass parts build out to be a nice flying plane and very reasonable in cost. An 80 would be awesome in this plane. Just another option to the list. I like Laser's, can't help it It's hard to find someone that's had one of these that really didn't like this plane. Buzz

Check out Precision Cut Kits Proline Aerobatic Series these were originally Ohio R/C by Bob Ankne He redsigned them with modern construction as Procraft Models retired and sold the rights to PCK They are full build laser cut kits with awesome glasswork. they have a 98" Extra 300s , 96" Cap 232 , 98" Extra 260 , 98" Sukoi , 98" Yak and a 77" Ultimate that would all fly great on a 80cc
