My first 3dhobby shop plane/maiden voyage!

[OSteenCitadel]

First of all I have never bought from 3dhobbyshop. I purchased a plane/motor combo 300 extra shp with a motofly 2815 1100kv for $190. I was hesitate to pay $175 for the small 47" plane because one of my flying buddies loves the new great planes 300 extra for $100. I get my plane in about 3 days, and open the box to find a fuse/canopy crush bad enough that I would not consider repair. I take a couple pictures send it via email to 3dhobbyshop, and their reply is "Brandon – We’ll ship you out a new fuse/hatch on Monday, along with a return shipping label so you can send the damaged one back at your convenience." By the way it was the shipper's fought. I my plane came in great packaging, triple boxed! I followed the instructions pretty close my only change was because my stab was not straight so I used some scrap MDF and my iron to make sure it was true, along with all my other surfaces. I used ball links around with HS-65HBs on everything except the rudder. I used a jr DS 368 and 2-56 ball link via pull-pull. Plane went together really quick except for the stab, I had to sand a good bit to make it line up with the wing. The plane covering job was excellent, and it balanced with a 3-cell 2100 li-po right on the money with the battery pretty close to center on the long battery tray! THIS IS THE AMAZING PART. MAIDEN FLIGHT!!! I took off, no trim, no trim, no trim not a single click, and absolutely no KNIFE EDGE coupling! Praise the Lord, He gave me very light winds on her maiden voyage

Great planes, even better people behind the planes.
Win - win combination.

Cid, That sounds even better... "He's right, once you fly 3DHS, no going back brothers.... Off to The NATS, man i hope someone is bringing a 3DHS bird, if not this will be the longest separation from a 3DHS plane for me... hope i can stay together without my "Fix".
