The cowl is definitely not from an Edge.

I gotta agree with Kevin. RadioCraft 300L. Cowling is not an Edge cowl. The LG is curved, like an Extra. Edge is straight. Look real close about mid wing. The servo bay looks like it could hold 2 servos side by side, much like a RadioCraft. Looks like it is built nice. Seems like I'm not seeing the phenolic tube for the wing tube in the fuse.........

It is a clean flying bird!!!!! If I had the $$$, I would buy it!!! Stoopid economy!!! Hurry up and get back right!!! Those airframes turn out to be rather light!!! Seems I remember a few people having them, and flying them around 25# on a 35% plan form.

Yeah I am positive that it is one of the old Radiocraft 35% Extra 330's. It is one of the ones that was built in Mexico.

$400 is a great deal for that plane. DO NOT put holes in those motor box sides behind the cowl area, don't ask me how I know this.

Kevin, you seem to be the most knowledgeable about planes, so I will go with your lead. I may be wrong, but the tube I think you guys are referring to is a tube for routing servo wires. The wing tube is along the spar line. And I do have the fuselage tube, just did not have it in the pictures. And there is room for two servos placed side by side in the wing.Thanks for all you help.

A friend of mine has a 35% Radiocraft 330 and loves it. As already stated, the two wing servos side by side gives it away.

One other thing I forgot to mention, I do believe they used 5/8" thick foam for ribs in the wings. makes for a very light setup. I have a 35% godfrey 260 that is built the same way.

I would agree its the Radiocraft 330 ARC.....low wing, high stab locations if Im seeing correctly, foam ribs in wings, curved LG etc. We just picked one of these up used this weekend at a swap meet for $250 with a new canopy, looks very similar to it. I sent you a pm, I want it.
Wintubes are in the spar location (usually where the sheeting stops on open bay wings)....the phenolic tube goes straight to the servo bays (not the wing tube), and I can see the phenolic tube in the fuse, if it were'nt there it would just be a hole and you could see in the fuse side.
More pics would be great, maybe different angles of fuse/wings, assembled would be nice too.

Wow, for $400 I am tempted to fly down, buy it, build my own shipping crate, and ship it myself!

Truth told that is an outstanding plane with excellent all-around flight characteristics. Somebody will be very happy with that plane.

If my memory serves me correctly, Aeroworks had an ARC, but I know the kits had foam wings, not sure on the ARC's.(could be wrong) Also, check out that landing gear,,, Looks like it's from an Extra 300,,,
GSP also did not have a removable canopy. The hatch infront of the canopy was the only access.
