Trying to talk myself out of buying a HH Extra 300, and by that, I'm trying to come up with an argument to convince myself that I could do it for a lot less with an FT Edge. I'm planning on some 17g MG servers ($40 total), an AR631 ($85), I already have a 50amp ESC laying around and I've got the motor from my now dead Tundra, a 3636 900kv. So, all in, it would be $125..maybe $150 for incidentals.
This would be my 6th foamboard plane. I've done the MS Spitfire, 13th Squadron's Zero, Simple Stick, and then two builds of the LS FT F-16, one full size, one 90%. So far, I really enjoy building these, but when I compare flight performance to similar foamies, there's a gap. That leads me to a couple of questions.
1) would the Tundra motor be a good motor for this plane
2) how does this perform compared to foamie versions of this plane like Arrows Edge, HobbyKing Wargo edition, or HH extra 300
3) after watching a review video and seeing how much carbon fiber bracing is in the foamies, is this wing strong enough?
