Well im impressed
I did not look at this tread for a day and you guys are on pg 18 allready.
Trev where are you situated and I can check shipping of the Raven. I will see what is better from Israel or China as far as shipping cost.
You can also get it with a power combo from Axi.
Did you pull the extra from the molds yourself?

See ya all later

Hey Alex Im in Cape Town
I got two of the fuzzes from a buddy here in Cape Town 1 for backup.
The fuzz is really nice and scale ........They came with wing templates for foam wings. But I didn;t like the airofoil they had so I desighned my own wings + tail and thought becuase I have never built a built up wing in my 20 years of moddeling before I would try it I wanted it to be really light ( ONLY A 3D PLANE ). Well the wings came out extreemly light but my built up building isnt on par. So I will do another set of foam wings soon. But it will fly no problem with the built up ones.

Cheers Trev

TO Damien or Peter

Sorry this is a bit of a stupid question but what size saito or engine would the CA 24% extra 330l take

I take it a saito 100 is a wee bit small for it

I think the 100 will be a bit too weak, it will fly but not enough power for decent 3D. I think the saito125 may be ok for that plane but the 150-180 would be awesome. You may have trouble balancing it with the 125 because it quite light.


Edit: Haha, trev answered already, i must hit refresh more often.
