33% ARF for IMAC

[mark786]

I now have a need for a ARF to fit my 3W70. There just is not much available.
Aeroworks 260 75CC but not available yet.
Aeroworks 75CC Yak kinda heavy and looks better for 3D
SD Models 33% 260 I'm not so sure about this one.
JTEC 2.5 m Don't like the color scheme.
Hanger 9 none
Great Planes none
Any ideas. Does anyone have good experience with the SD 33%?
Any other models available?
Thanks,
Mark

h9 33% cap

the 35% aeroworks yak is an awesome plane it flies on freakin rails.

There just isnt much out there for 70cc engines. IMO the 33% planes need 75-85cc for good performance. A good choice might be a comp arf 2.3 extra. A 50cc on a pipe barely does the job on the comp arf, an 80cc is overkill, the 70 would be about right.

2.3m CARF ?

[Hector]

How about the Comp-Arf 260 (2.6M) or the QQ Yak 102". Both planes perform great if You add a Tune pipe to them and keep them light.

[Extra260]

A 102 would be under powered with a 80 let alone a 70. The carf 2.3 is the perfect plane for that engine. I am pretty sure it is for warbirds

The guy is asking for recommendations for a 70cc engine, so a 2.6m/35% plane should not evn be brought up. BVM has a 50cc-70cc edge that might work.

SD Models are the same company that was building the airplanes sold by TOC/Extreme. I have seen the 50cc Extra 260 fly and its a nice bird, quality is among the best. Their famous Yak is available in 33% also.

Aerotech is going to have a 92" Extra 300 midwing ARF available.

[wildhare]

Wild Hare has a few Cap 91" in stock. These have proven to be very popular with that awkward size engine which is kind of a 'tweener. The plane with your engine will come in weighing around 20 lbs. which is about waht you want for that engine.

SD-Models Extra 260, 33%, the perfect IMAC Machine. The Wild Hare above would give you a little option later on, 3-D.

All very good recommendations, thanks.
Sweatpea, The Hangar Cap looks a little heavy @ 23 to 26 pounds and a Cap would not be my first choice for IMAC.
Team OMP, The 35% is way too big for a 70cc
Razrback, The comp ARF looks good but the nice scheme is more than I want to spend. Wood is Good and repairable. I would have problems with composite.
Hector, Too heavy for my 70cc
Extra260, Same as above.
dubd, I looked at the BVM not sure.
Gareth, I didn't see the Aerotech in 92" ARF.
TF, I checked your website and the 33% extra is interesting. My Carden was 22# and flew well. Would I be close to the 22# with the 3W70. Can I use a pipe on this plane? If it is at 22# I could use the pitts for now and change to pipe later. I won't be flying 3D just Sportsman IMAC. Any of these left?

I saw a 33% WH Extra 260 fly at the Crosby IMAC contest fly with a 3W 75 and 26 x 10 3W wood prop. It was a perfect combination for IMAC. The fellow flew the Basic sequence with it had no problem - it looked to me like it pretty much had unlimited verticle and he had to use good throttle management to keep it from going to fast!!

Try a WildHare - you'll like it!! Tom has them in yellow or red scheme.

If I had any of them left I would have suggested the 260, but they are all sold. Every last one of them.

This Cap is a very nice plane. I have sold several of them with the wing raised a bit on the fuselage, this makes a world of difference in how it flies. The Cap then handles more like a 260, it's all in the wing location and it's not against any rule that I know of.

I think this would be an excellent match for your 70.

Thanks for the input guys.
I decided to wait on the Aeroworks 75cc Extra 260 QB. It is advertised at 20-21 lbs.
Since my Carden was 22 lbs. I thought 21 would be just fine. I have a AW 90-120 Yak which is an excellent ARF so I figured I couldn't go wrong with AW. It will be the first run of this plane so I hope they have the weight correct as I would like to add cans later.
Not only is this size plane a tweener but seems like no one has anything is stock. Everyone is expecting a shipment at a later date.
Thanks again, everyone gave me info to ponder.
