I finally ordered by next plane today! It is not part of the above list?

All the people who know me ... can you guys guess which one?

Salman,

I am no good in this size and configuration of planes but can still guess which one did you order.

You have ordered this one:-)

If you minus the girl above then I guess you have ordered this one:
AirWild Extra 260 29% ARF

Cheers,
Salam

Looking at the picture ... I feel like "minus..ing" the plane and ordering the rest:-)

The final list that I came up with was

Aeroworks - Extra 260 - 50cc
Airwild RC - Extra 260 - 50cc
Pilot RC - Extra 260 - 50 cc
Wild Hare RC - Extra 260
and
Extreme flight extra 88 inch - 50cc
Composite ARF extra 2.3 m - 50~85 cc


Well did a thorough research on all the planes ... in the end realized that except composit arf all of the planes are in the same league, You simply cant go wrong with anyone of them.
Then came the question of availability, price and support. Though all of these planes can be ordered but Extreme Flight extra was readily available along with the support for the parts. Here are the pictures for this plane.




I also liked the comp-arf but with 91 inch the I reckon the plane would have been under powered with a 55 engine. Also, the plane is too scale in design and the length did not feel right for model plane. I also like planes with elevator inline with the wings.

I will be using the following

DLE55 with CANISTER muffler - This plane is CAN ready
Hitec 7955TG all around except throttle where I will use hitec 5425MG
Duralight A123 2300 battery for receiver+Servos
SWB servo arms all around
1000mah liPo with regulator on ignition

Hopefully you will see the buid thread in May, as that is when I will get time to work on it!

I will still keep my Pilot-RC for special occasions and will use this for every week-end flying!

Here are some links worth checking out on this bird!

I need both!

i personally look at three things...

Weight
Wing Area
Moment Arm

for 3d flying... they all fit the bill so i guess it comes down to looks only

Has the box arrived yet?

I cancelled the this order because the dealer kept on delaying the deliver.

Now am looking again ! Another brand of planes that is available here is EG Aircrafts ... On FG there are couple of threads with positive feedback on EG aircrafts. I was checking their website and was surprises to find art-tec hobbies in Rawalpindi have their dealership! Anyone in Pakistan flying these planes?

^ Fly & Spy has the Art-Tech dealership, IIRC.

I know you have a few Pilot RC Yaks and again why not look at their Extra 260 (30%)?

Ever thought to have a warbird?
