i have a super extra that flys wicked good handles wind better than any other it is the best plane at or below .40 glow i have ever flown ill have video of it sooner or later rolling rate is great can be as fast as you want there is no flex in the wing only did one mod that wasnt in the manual used have a flat plastic hinge like klett or dubro to route push rods and is super stiff all around i used 2 bottles of canopy glue wich is 1.5 bottles more than needed and weight still came in at 19 ozsif you use proper amount of glue weight will be at 17 oz 3d flight is the best i have flown waterfalls are almost no alt lose maybe a foot.harriers are steady point rolling harriers are almost as easy as regular rolling harriers knife edge is more than adequate the build is slightly more than a normal foamy because you need to laminate the surfaces but this lamination adds sooo much strength it is so wirth it after lamination the build is same as any other foamy.Because of lamination the carbon reinforcement is hidden between layers make for an awesome Finnish i have finished product picture here but i can post build piks if you want some sorry for the long post and run on sentences Last edited by Flatlandman; 12-28-2008 at 08:25 AM. |

nice paint work? ,, how did u do under the wing like that? 3d foamy said they would send me some planes, all i really need to do is pick some. The 3d foamy people are awesome to talk to, and really helpful. Thier kits look outstanding and I can't wait for them to get here. Flat, you have any tips on painting, cuz ur plane looks so SWEET!

I have the Tiburon Bipe (my second) and love it big time. I also have the SU26, but the bipe wins out. The plans were shrunk down to a wingspan of 29 inches at Kinko's and I think this is the perfect setup for an AXI2208/34 or E-Flite 370 and a 3-cell for outdoor flight. |

Slightly scaled down edge 540. Took a bit of getting used to but does rolling harriers like a freak. My previous was a design by my buddy SPRICE 50. The fusion, or in my case the infusion(slight modification ) was unbeleivable for hovering and big manouvers like the knife edge wall to hover. She would slam into the wall so violently that unless your pack was taped and velcrowed in it would get projected up to 100' |
