RichModel (PAU) Extra 330L

Hey guys,

Last night I orderd me a RichModel Extra 330L. It should be Monday at the latest before it arrives. Today we went out and bought some "Stone Touch Plasti-Kote" paint for the engine mount and maby some of the inside. This is my 2008 IMAC plane, also my first IMAC plane. I'll be flying it at the FX3D also. Here is the site of the Extra: http://ak-models.com/mm5/merchant.mv...ode=GIANTSCALE

Don't forget to get some cheap-0 grey primer.

You spray that first, then the stone. That way it takes less stone to create the look

Re: RichModel (PAU) Extra 330L

I will be looking forward to this build thread.

Do you have to get a dude. I thought at one time IMAC required a dude in the plane. It will take a little effort to get one in the extra canopy.

Good idea! I never thought of that. I tested it out on a small electric i had and it looked too flakey.

Luke- You can come over any time bro lol. MadMax was using some 3M weld stuff for hinging the alies... kinda cool.

Re: RichModel (PAU) Extra 330L

hehe probably

I made a scratch build kinda like that... Hand sculpted, I still gotta get hardware and sculpt the leading edge a little. Right now it has Edge like wings... I want to sculpt them a tiny bit more.

Oh and I almost forgot... Specs...

Wingspan: 51 in.
Length: 45in.
Airframe Weight: 17.2 oz
