Gents, I have decided to get the Airwild Extra 330L and power it with a 3W 106b2 with a NX 27x10 prop. Have any of your gents / ladies flewn one before and any comments on the aircraft and engine would be of great help. The plane is not here yet as i had to order it in (Singapore doesnt have such big planes in stock). I will be using 5955TG on Ailerons and 8711 on each tail surface as well as the rudder. If i were to use one servo per surface would a powerox be required with all the long extensions?.. Thanks guys

OK guys.. first flight was great...but i am sad to say the strength of the wing spar and landing gear area sucks...bent the spar on a slow wall and i ripped the landing gear out on the 2nd flight (Ask Tom).. he was there. Slowed her down a bit too much..she dropped abt 2 ft of the ground... oh well.. she is being repaired now but i wanna know if she will still 3D with her weighin est 30# after repairs... let me know pls.. im running a 3w 106ib2 on her
