Cheap Kits
Just an FYI...
Lanier is blowing out their Edge 540 and Staudacher S600 kits. $500 and free shipping. I bought a Staudacher. May not be an Extra 260, but I like building and you do not see many of these. |

Re: Cheap Kits
Has any one out there assembled and flown a Giant Scale Planes 96" (75-100cc)Cap? I am thinking about buying one, but want to know if they are OK, or junk. I have had a small Cap, and it was dangerous. It did a beautiful snap with just full up elevator. I can't afford much, so this plane is temting. Please help!

Re: Cheap Kits
if you like to build these are great . Except for missing some parts on my 1/3 extra the kit was pretty good. The plane flys great and true, can't speek for the other kits but I built the 1/3 kit stock and contrary of all beliefs came in at a great weight of 25lbs. With a 3w80xi this is a great flyer and a perfect plane to get into giant scale/ imac cheap. Mike

Re: Cheap Kits
It's the lanier 1/3 extra 300s kit, I built it in the spring, This is a great flying plane, true and straight. Some mods need to be made if you want to do 3d but otherwise for IMAC stock is perfect.

Re: Cheap Kits
Bi....
The appropriate word here is cheap... for GSP planes... and they don't support their products...!! I had their 1/3 scale Cap... and there is no manual... you have to download it... well the CG was wrong... Plane was impossible to fly... I contacted them... their response, "... yea... we know it's wrong..." .... Nice... My suggestion... be careful... |

Re: Cheap Kits
Red,
The 40% Lanier Staudacher flies great. Just be sure and keep up with what everything weighs as you build it. I have one and also have a 40% Edge. Both come out a little heavier than some like but if you do a little lightening to them as you build and use light equipment they come out fine. My Edge weighs 42 lbs and has a 3W 150 TOC it flies just fine. You will have to enlarge the control surfaces a bit if your going to fly 3D. |
