BEST 75CC KIT?
I'm in the market for a 75cc kit(not arf) and was wondering if anyone had any ideas. I'm looking for something that's light enough to 3d with my 3w75 but still has enough wing to not be a brick when I just wanna fly.
About all I've come up with so far is the aero-works 31% edge. Anyone have any other ideas? There are a ton of planes for either 50 or 100cc but I havent seen much on the 75cc's. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks, James |

Re: BEST 75CC KIT?
I know you said you don't want an ARF but don't sell short the Composite ARF 2.3 meter Extra 330. This is the top of the line aircraft that doesn't really compare to the regular ARF. I have one and have probably 200 flights on it and it is a monster 3D Machine. I also have the TOC 3W-75 in it loaded with smoke system, big batts, etc. and it pulls out of a hover like a ballistic missle.
I entered the FG Video contest with it and you can watch the vid and see how it flies for yourself. (Listed as 3D-Seth under gas) The 3W-75 is an awesome motor and you would definately be happy with this airframe. I got the all white one and just added my own "flames" graphics. Just MO from my experience with Composite ARF. Later- Seth

Re: BEST 75CC KIT?
a couple of questions. On the aero-works site, they show the ca model extra 30% as having a bigger wingspan/wing area than the 31%.what's the deal with that?Typo?
3D-SETH, I have sort of been leery of trying the composite planes because I have always heard that they are really fragile and that a rough landing will pretty much destroy them.That and the fact that if I did beat it up a little I probably wouldnt be able to repair it. How is your extra doin? I am really curious about the comp-arfs in particular and would like to hear if any of what I have been told is true. |
