I want a new profile plane and the 330 looks great.
Does anyone have any opinions on this plane.
How much does it weigh?
How does it 3D.
Also how is it to put it together?
Thanks

I have around 30 too 40 flights on mine and I really like this plane.I have read forums where guys have used all of the supplied hardware except they used 440 music wire on the rudder.I opted too use CF rods all the way around.
3D?? This plane hovers real easy.Knife edge is as good as it gets.
Weight 4.78 pds with a tt46pro and Macs 1 pc muffler
Construction is simple and straight forward.Modified mine slightly.I used pull pull on the elv,attached fuel tank with L pins and rubber bands and also sealed all the hinge lines.
Get it. You won't be sorry

Great flying plane!! I have one with a OS .46fx w/ a Tower muffler...it weighs just under 5 lbs....be sure to seal hinge gaps and as mentioned in above post either pull/pull or 4/40 to prevent flutter...

Got to fly it once today, It was ok. Couldn't tell much about it, wind was gusty some. the plastic wire ties holding the fuel tank broke and I didn't have any with me at the feild. Hope to try it again Tues.

One thing that we noticed right away was the awful KE characteristics. It pulled to the canopy something terrible.

I've flown mine everywhere from the front CG limit back to as far as 1" aft of the aft limit, with the only noticable change being it handles a little smoother and rocks less in an elevator with a more foreward CG. In all cases the KE coupling is HORRIBLE - with full rudder deflection it is almost impossible to keep upright. It's still a real fun plane though. Almost hovers too easily.

matlok, start playing with the aileron adjustment. I liked mine very tail heavy with the ailerons set to follow the bottom contour of the wing. It had KE coupling, but not that bad. You could do KE to KE snaps with it and KE loops were no problem. There was a trim change between low and high speed flight with this setup, but how many times are you over quater throttle unless the nose is pointed up anyway?

My friend's Extreme 330 had some up-thrust by accident, and his pitches severely with throttle input, especially when it's tail heavy. When the CG is brought forward, the upthrust is not so bad. He said he fixes the upthrust, so I will see what it does w/ proper thrust line.

The landing gear bends but id rather have it take the abuse then the plane. This plane will Ke easily after flying it a while. It pulls hard to the gear but I was soo usewd to that. NICE rolling harriers. Im tesign out the CG Edge 540 and that should turn out awesome!!! Tons of aileron throw in the Edge

Are there any known sites that sell carbon fiber or a stronger/flexible landing gear for the Extreme 330. I have been hearing from everyone that owns a 330 about how bad and weak the landing gear tends to be. Unless you are an expert lander you will most likely have problems with the gear bending.
Other than that........
The new O.S. .46 AX has come out. I was planning on purchasing the FX Series but it is now discontinued. Does anyone think the new AX would be a good substitute. Not going from any of the advertisements on Towerhobbies.com, I just wanted to find out some things from my loyal official tryer-outers.
