Nice plane, who did the graphics?

So nobody else has a new Aerotech kit? I have seen ony a handful of pics/build threads. I would hope they have sold more than that to fg members. The lack of chatter is making me second guess my decision. Maybe I should wait for one of Robs kits instead...

I would like to hear some reports of how the 123" slick flies but the only one that I know exists belongs to Brandon Chitty and he hasn't mentioned much about it online.

If you go to the website alot of the planes I used to see are not listed. But just because no ones posting doesn't mean their not selling kits. The most exposure Ive seen on FG is the Big Extra's and the Hyperlite. As far as Robs kits, there's a build thread and you can see it real time now, Good luck!

They are not selling any of the old kits. That is why the kits you have seen before are missing. The new ones are supposedly new or redesigned versions. That is why I am curious about how the new planes(non hyperlite) fly. I know they are selling kits but I would like to know what people think of them.

I'm in the same boat as you- looking at the Extra. It would be good to hear sme feedback.
