33% Colombo Anderson Extra 330L ARF

Here is a pic of their rudder and normal horns.

I've used that type of horn quite often. They do work well, but I think I'd like to try the SWB type. Sounds like the 3.5 inch is what I need.

Mine is up and flying! This plane is great, feels very smooth and solid. I have only had 4 flights so far and the second two were at an airshow!.
The mvvs116 runs like a champ, never missed a beat. The bisson mufflers sound good, not too noisy. Mine was also nose heavy but 6 ounces of lead fixed that.
A friend filmed a bit of my flight at the airshow, I posted it HERE.

Nice vidio. Can't wait until mine is up and flying, but its a ways down the road. Looks like the plane is a great flyer.

Shot Jason, I am very happy with this plane. I was really nervous on the maiden but about 1 minute into the flight I realized it was just like a big puppy that did exactly what you told it, very well behaved, haha!
Damn this wind, it just wont let up! I need a calm day to do some trimming.
See you at the field...

Schweet flying there Damien. Should have a break in the wind soon, just bought an Aeromod Voltij, the full carbon "Optimal Version", should be here this week, so just to pi$$ me off there will be no wind
You gonna fly this week end or in the week if you off?
Still got a bit of work this week, hopefully be done by tuesday.

Sounds like a nice slope flyer you got, is that the one that looks like a fish?
I am not sure if I'll make it to the vlei this weekend. I need to do some work on my 27% so if I get 'er done I will go.

[Gus155]

yep its the fish. should be here soon. Hope saturday not too windy, need to take the Extra out, got to make some noise.

I have someone who will sell me one. Here is an email that he sent me about it.
The plane is an airframe with some decent hardware...it was setup to a push-pull rudder system...and the tail has all pin hinging done....covering is of great quality as well...there is no engine or electronics included...it also has a brand new set of sheeted aeroworks wings. To make this fly you will need engine, electronics, control arms for the elevator and throttle setup., fuel cell and fuel...

Is it worth $500? Thanks

[kolarshooter]

Looks like a reasonable deal to me.

Has this one been flown, or even finished?

I notice that he has the wrong landing gear...the CA gear is too short (for my taste) so I bought some from graphtech for mine. I'd also want to look at the cowl cut-outs to see if your engine choice will be accommodated. A cowl is easy to cut, but hard to patch!

[kolarshooter]

Looking at the pic closely, it looks like there's a cutout for a spark plug boot on the left side of the cowl. My DA100 installation is the same.

This plane might fly even better with a DA85 than the 100...it's a light plane (mine's under 26#) and the 85 would help keep the wingloading really low.

You might ask if he made the plane with two aileron servos or one (the CA wing may be built either way.)

If I looked at it in person and thought his build quality was good (might even check incidences, etc.), I'd be tempted to take it! You might make an offer and save a few bucks more?!?!

[Steve]

I'm almost done with my 34% Colombo. Its getting close!!

[kolarshooter]

Purdy!

[Steve]

Thanks.
