Yep, East-RC used to sell the RichModels 100cc Extra, 100cc Yak, and the 50cc Yak.
To me East-RC seemed to be selling them at a high price.
They wanted $1000.00 for the 100cc Yak, That is where the cream of the crop ( Aeroworks, Extreme Flight, PAU, etc., etc. ) was selling for.

Don't get me wrong , my 50cc Richmodel Yak was real nice. Only flaw was a weak landing gear mount.
I would say that the 100cc extra for $382.00 is a steal.
I can't fly anymore if I buy another plane, My fingers will be broken.......

I looked at the manual for this bird, and it looks a lot like Aeroworks construction, hardware and assembly instructions.

Does anyone know if this is an old AW plane that they may have sold off to AK or whoever is building it?

[2robinhood]

It is built by RichModels.

If it wasn't right now this minute I'd get one and to heck with the scheme that I don't care for. Seems to me I saw this plane wearing an AW cowl.

But for me $$$ is a big part of what I can and cannot do. I'd try it for that price.

Pacific planes sold this Extra as well. It was a yellow, blue, and white scheme. The gear has to be beefed up, but the hardware and flight characteristics were very good from what I read.

There is a thread or two here on FG as well.

Anyone know shipping costs on this one ? I went ahead and put one in the cart to see if the 15% off would show there, it did not. Nor did it include any shipping and at that point I did not expect it to.

The next step however required too much info from me just to find out what shipping would be. I was afraid I would have purchased it.

[zoomer260]

Nevermind. It is no longer on the website. The composite 100cc is though, I just prefer ummm, non composite aerobatic airframes.

You're right. It looks like an exact copy of the AW manuals. The construction looks the same also. Hmmm...

Did you get any kind of confirmation on the shipment ? A tracking number or sort ?

I note that they are not on the site anymore. Maybe this thread got them gone ?
