Well guys due to my latest incident with the edge I need to find a new home for the 85 twin. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. I just want to stay in the 21-24lb range. Thanks Chris

Chris buddy sorry to hear that. i have a friend of a friend that has a h-9 33% cap new in the box for sale for 600.00

What about one of those 2.6 extras made by C-ARF but marketed by some other distributor. Cant think of the name. They go ape with a single 80 in them so an 85 twin would have no serious issues pulling one of those around.

Unless you like wood and the the TOC1 line up looks pretty cool.

Aviation models 33% Yak might fit the bill. Sorry to here about your Edge.

Hey guys thanks for the good response and all the kind words, Yes it is sad....... I'm very sceptically on buying anything TOC 1 (aviation models) yet. I personally saw a incidence problem at a flying that worries me. I am by no way bashing them but I really want to see one fly before I drop 900.00$ on a 33% ARF. As for the Cap. The last one of those I flew I took the rudder clean off. Grant it, it did weigh something like 31lbs.

I really want a Yak but as you all well know they just haven't made many of them yet for this motor size... Keep them coming. Thanks Chris

Who's fault was that.

31 lbs that kind of hard to believe

toddblose · 01-09-2006, 03:46 PM

The DR Hobbies 2.6 Extra should come out around 23lbs with the 3W 85
www.drhobbies.com take a look

toddblose · 01-09-2006, 03:52 PM

my bad, it will be closer to 24lbs. The 3w 75 is around 23lbs

bodywerks · 01-09-2006, 03:52 PM

I would say go with the H9 Edge or Extra. both should be around 21 pounds...
As for the 31 pound CAP, I totally believe it if it was a great planes Cap - they're TANKS!!!

This would be a nice combo! I have a CA 2.6m with a ZDZ80 and its real nice and light. Just over 23 pounds dry, and thats without trying to keep it light. As for the TOC birds, I am sold completely on them. Everyone I have owned, seen, flown have been great. I would hesitate to buy again from them. DR and comp-arf both have great reps as well. I wouldnt hesitate to buy from any of these companies.
