That MX2 will be such a nice plane. It looks like it's got less tapered wings than the Edge 540 and the Sbach. This should give it nicer slow speed handeling than both of those.

At that price I think it's an absolute Bargain. 179 including postage is pretty good I wonder if they will go lower to get a few out by the end of the month?? I might have to get my self one to put away as a spare. I spurised that we dont have more of these super and cheaper models in the club.

Do you have an idea of what the all up weight will be ??


Did you toughen the bottom of the fuse up a bit where the Undercarrage mounts on. Is the undercarage alloy or carbon??

Nice one Frank!! will it be ready for a test flight on the weekend. I'm not sure what the field will be like tho' Might need to do a trip to Blacktown, Vinyard or Penrith if the sun comes back for the weekend

having a rest today . ARF PLANES TAKE 30 HOURS to put together .
it is ready for a test flight now . i havent toughened the fuse up as yet , it isnt too bad though , i have taken the 2inch wheels off and replaced with 3 inch , and the wheel pants are staying in the box . the undercarriage is aluminium i havent checked dry weight as yet , but i will . I ENJOYED THE BUILD . i must say the quality is quite good and all the hardware , including servo extension arms , screws, and dual conversion electric/gas was all included complete ,
i guess i could do a little modifying to strengthen but really its pretty good . at 1/2 the price of a sebart KATANA , i would say its 98% as good quality wise , differences being cardboard tubing instead of fibre glass for carbon wing spar.
the 5055 700kv motor , IS EXACT in size and required no spacing for exact cowel placement , the katana required 15mm spacers under motor mount . battery placement towards the front , is pretty much bang on for MAIDEN CG . .
any suggestions on strengthening the under carraige . i have to work saturday arvo from 3pm , but will be up for a flight , its going to be a ripper . has the power to take off within 3feet . 2nd use motor , not the best but still allright . full throttle sucked 225 mah in less than 15 seconds at 1800 watts and 90 amps LOL .
IT HAS A 13X6 lightwood balanced PROP . and that is fine , if i'm game it might just be ok with 13x8 . but not necessary at all.

WEIGHT = 1.8kg dry , 2.3kg with battery.
