I really like the landing gear on this plane. Looks close in together and those wheel pants look very scale.

Sleepy you will get your chance at this one! It is worth the wait!

scottflyrc · 07-12-2008, 10:24 PM

Sleepy, we are still here at Celina and plan to fly all day Sunday yet. The Slick and the Extra are ripping it up here and the pilots love both planes. Terry Hahn flew them both and was impressed with each. When do you want to get together so you can fly it???????????????????

I'm trying to get out. I'm moving in 2 weeks, so my schedule is kind of hectic.
But worst case scenario, OHIO HUCKFEST.... make sure its there.

I already know I need one of these. Like I said April 8th 2008, I was ready to put a deposit down.

scottflyrc · 07-12-2008, 11:01 PM

Congrats, on the house deal. WE WILL GET TOGETHER SOON!!!!!!!!!!!! Give me a call when you want to fly it!!

Aw heck dropped my name, guess I better respond heh...

I was just glad to make a fun-fly this year! It's been too hectic lately. Also glad we got some flying in, it sure didn't look good to start.

The big Slick flies real nice. Kind of looks like a cross between an Edge fuselage and an Extra wing in a good way. The dang thing doesn't weigh anything, so it takes next to no elevator to do quick snaps. Oh, and this thing is BIG.

The little Extra reminded me a bit of my little Carden, only optimized for 3D. The wings weigh nothing (read: easy snap stops) and the ailerons are super effective as is the tail. Also of remark with this plane is the fact there is very little coupling with rudder input.

Thanks for the stick time Scott!

Anyone have a pic of the 100cc 300, not sure if I should wait for it

mflander · 07-13-2008, 01:17 PM

Well I pre-ordered mine. Sleepy if your real nice to me I'll let you look at it.

Those are some dangerous games you are playing there Sleepy.

Sometimes... you just have to be a man.
Right now, is not the time, but in a few months when this plane comes out... it will be.

you mean after she is in her new phat house? LOL

mflander · 07-14-2008, 08:15 AM

What good is a new plane if she will own half of it because you bought it? lmao... If your real nice maybe she'll let you borrow it every once in awhile.

It won't snap at all....just dose a big barrel roll. And don't even think of trying a flatspin it will never pull out of it...
Knife edge requires 30 degrees of up elevator mix and 15 degrees of opposite aileron to fight the dreaded provers roll and tuck.
LOL just kidding' I mite have to get one !Love the shape of it and smooth lines.One of the best ARFs I have seen!
