33% RadioCraft Extra 330lx / BME 6.2 Project
Branwell McClory 2001





Overview:

In pattern / IMAC type flying, rollers are almost automatic, snaps are super precise with instant starts and no overotation at all.

It draws very precise lines and has a really nice relaxed pace.

Down line speed control is excellent for a plane this size.

Overall, the only planes I have flown that better this plane in Pattern are a select few in the 37% and larger size range.

In 3D, the plane is awesome.
It does all the basics like Waterfalls, Elevators, Spins with great stability and control.
It also does all the more advanced stuff with ease.
When it comes to 3D, I have not flown a plane, bigger or smaller that can match the RadioCrafts agility and control.

In conclusion, if you are after a "do it all" plane in the 35% class, you need look no further.
