New IMAC model at last

I have been looking for a replacement competition model since losing the Sukhoi just before the Nats. I missed out on a couple of models a few weeks ago and have been starting to think I was going to have to go for a new airframe.

But I have now managed to get hold of one which I think is better than either of the 2 I missed out on, so maybe it was meant to be!

Composite ARF 3.1m Extra 330sc in the scale Brietling scheme. Also has top spec JR gear in it, so ideal for me. Got a bit of work to do to install my DA170 as it originally had a 4 cylinder ZDZ in it, but hope to have it in the air before too long

I assume the original motor would have greater length to the prop driver so if you need assistance with stand-offs or a load spreader plate - ask your dad ! ( no seriously - i'd be pleased to help)

Thanks very much Kevin, it shouldn't need anything though as the previous owner had the proper CARF engine dome extension box, which he passed on to me. According to the manual, when bonded to the front it should be correct for my DA170. Fingers crossed!!

Nice one Jon. Hope it wasn't as expensive as their bloody watches. Anyway better livery than you the usual ExF and Horizon logo stuff that seems to be everywhere. I think yellow was around 2014 and 2017 it changed again to yellow nose, wing tips, body blue and white (maybe silver though) Could not view too well due to the smoke.

Nice Video Phil! I think that is a different aeroplane though, as far as I know there are/were 3 Breitling schemed Extra 330sc's 2 french and one American registered. The one in my scheme has now been rebranded as Black Wolf, but is otherwise the same scheme.

But you are right that the yellow version will be the easiest to see!

Black Wolf and the Silver one nice but the orange one- Urrgh!

With the money you saved buying used you should be able to afford a rake and get those leaves tidied up.

That's a fair comment Mike (you sound like my Dad though) but not really good enough to post twice

:whistle:

I was expecting Mike to do that, but I'm disappointed in you Phil
