Hey Guys as I am working with a new ARF manufacturer and they are looking for input on what you guys want. They are currently looking to bring out 3 new 100cc airframes and want to know whats going to be the most sought after. The choices are MX-2 100cc, Velox 100cc, Slick 100cc, Cap 232, Extra 260, and Yak 54. I appreciate you giving you your input with all the great airframes out there it is tough to choose so lets hear it.

Also please share your opinion even if it is not one of the ones mentioned.

A 100cc Slick would be cool, or an MX2? there's too many, yaks,cap,extras out there today. It would be cool to see something different......If i may ask. What arf company are you speaking of exactly? Thanks and good luck!

MX-2 and Extra 300 mid-wing!

http://www.egaircraft.com/news_detail.php?id=10 Im starting an assembly thread of a 50cc mx-2 here on FG in a few. Its just a prototype but I really like the mx's with the lime green scheme so they asked me to build and test it.

I also like the MX-2 Idea, It is new. By some reason I don't know the Velox never caught up, even though it's a mid wing design. I like different Stuff. Even though I fly a 260, the only reason I bought was (beside I new it flew well) that the MX-2 from that company was not 3M ( by some weird reason 2.9M didn't attract me, is a size thing).

By the way I saw Greg Poe's MX-2 (full scale) in Red, Black and white and it was a killer.

OK, well good luck with it! I'll look forward to the build thread! Should be pretty cool!

Slick 100cc

plaster93 · 06-19-2009, 10:38 PM

100cc Raven

DEVZAK9 · 06-19-2009, 10:50 PM

What about the new MXS R?

Flatlandman · 06-20-2009, 02:15 AM

Slick, Extra 300 mid wing, or Yak 54 the catch is no matter what plane they come oput with they have to fly really well or dont bring em. There are some arfs out here that fly really good and they aren't very expensive like the H9 260 and the EF yak and the pilot is showing promise; if the planes you bring don't perform to those standard you might as well not bother. Try as hard as possible to work out the tendencies for tuck and roll coupling with the rudder and also do what needs to be done to get the planes to track well. Also engineer some things into the design that makes the plane more user friendly as far as wing attachments canopy attachment etc. Please please ( not a typo I realy did say please twice) put the rudder servos in the tail. Sorry for the long lists of wants but i could add many more to the list of wants if you like to hear them.
