Hey Mith, yes, Al and Kevin have made all sorts of updates to the new 300. I flew mine throughout the 2008 IMAC season and it performed awesome. My rates were a little tame for 3D, but it still floated like a champ.

Also, when you saw Max's version of the Radiowave 330... you couldnt even compare his version to the original version of the 330. I think Max did everything he could to add weight to that airplane. I had a 330 myself a couple years ago and I think mine was 6 pounds lighter than Max's... I have no idea what he did to that thing. When Sleepy re-vamped it, he took out a bunch of crap Max had in there and got it down to fighting weight where it should be.

The new one I'm working on should come in around 38 - 39 lbs , but keep in mind... THE PLANE IS HUGE.
Like 42% Carden huge.

I really liked the way Tuna flew... it floated really nicely. I actually am super excited to get the new one finished!
Jtec planes are REALLY nice planes. Plain and simple.

There are a couple of videos from the 2006 Don Lowe Masters of the 3.2m Extra 300 and 330. You should be able to find them here on the giants. You can look up Marco Benincasa (Extra 300), Don Sczcur (Extra 300) or Jerry Neel's (Extra 330) freestyle.

Yeah all the 300's have been updated a lot from the 330 that you saw. The 3.2m 300 has a lightened motor box, rudder, elevators, and pretty anywhere else we could lighten without sacrificing strength. Also if you get the graphtech carbon gear you save 12 or 14oz from the stock gear.

As for Max's his definately was overweight with stuff he added. I know for a fact his weighed 6lbs more then mine.

[SleepyC]

ALso T&T landing gear is now making milled aluminum gear that should weigh around the same as carbon, but have the strenght of Aluminum.

The stock landing gear is a bit heavy.

But even the old version (which I have) with a few circle bits and time can me lightened extensively.
The old TB flew great i can't wait to try this new one!!

[jtec/radiowave]

Personally I am glad the Tuna boat went away!!!! it flew well but it was on the fatboy program. I built it originally for MAx and he had me put in every contraption know to man and R/C in it. I keep telling him it would weigh a ton!! RIGHT MAX!!!.

At least it lives on as the plane for the FG logo and for the tee shirts. LOL

Sleepy I suspect you will rename yours "the Barracuda"!!!! LOL

[SleepyC]

Hopefully something like "Helium Bag" or... "Floaty McFloater" or... "big Orange" (Yes the color is a changing!)

hello from tucson

[TailTouch]

So...is anyone flying the 2.5m yet ?

[jtec/radiowave]

there are a couple of the 2.5m out there. We have been flying are a lot lately and it is unbelievable the power it has with a DA-85. We still plan on putting one together with a DA-50 because we think it will fly nicely. Just need to get the time to do it.
