Sneak peak..PA Addiction

Been waiting and dreaming this plane quite a while..and finally it's mine..After Aidul Fitri then I'm going to assemble this plane. Will take it slow and steady..


Presenting Precision Aerobatic Addiction (green color)

Open up the box..

Thrust 20 motor as per recommended..

HS65hb servos

Souka EPP Techone

New updates (22/02): Change prop to 9x4 slow fly prop now I can have better stability with stock motor. Much better control. Now souka is my fav early morning plane. Everyday I must fly her at least 1 pack.

Updates: Finally I've got souka tune up to my flying style. All I can say this plane rock. To me my only requirement for any 3D plane is can it hover without any bad habit..well I can say now this plane rock solid. I can hover souka just like I hover my Piaget. Get the battery back off a bit and never use prop saver. Reduce my aileron EPA to 80% then my souka behave just like I want it.




Bought this plane from namlee hobby with bargain price..nice dealing with them..fast service and delivery. One day top and the kit on my desk.

It takes me 4 hours top to assemble this kit. Most of the hinge pre-mark. That takes the measuring out of the picture. I use my trusty foam safe CA to bring this plane together.


all stock electronic from namlee. But be sure that the servo supposedly 8g but mine comes with 9g. This size will not fit the wooden servo case and need some modification to the case.





Position of the electronics. My lipo is 1000mah 3s1p 15C. Should be enough for 415g plane.

This time I've decided to use the landing skid. Seems tough enough to handle hard landing.



A little tricky to create the pushrod for all the control surface. All my fingers smudge with CA to adjust the linkage rod. I use the longest servo arm to get full travel for all the flaps.


Will maiden today at peremba. We'll see how this plane perform.

Updates....maiden video by am..first portion of the video was blur due to wrong setting..a bit of CG issues the rest souka fly like a dream. Second battery move the battery back a little bit then there she was hovering around. Now I have both piaget and souka will be used late evening 3D training plane.

Acromaster and Pylon video

Updates: Quite happy today. Change to 11x5 prop from 12x6 and my acromaster happily prop hang low to the ground. Better throttle management. This is my first time able to hang big size plane in such low altitude.

Maiden my Acromaster at peremba today. Handover to Am for maiden flight then I take for the second flight. I like the way she behave in the sky. Much gentle then my EF Extra. Easy to handle and not easy to stall.



This is pylon second second flight. Man...I lost it. It was way too fast to get her into my vid cam lens. I can only get portion of the flight. Hectic...crazy fast.

Pylon class B

Updates..finally got the guts to fly this plane by my self. Well she behave gently in the air. No bad habit of stall or twitchy controls. I like the feels flying this pylon.

Updates..maiden last friday by Ilham. I was shock to see how fast she goes. Forgot to take video on the maiden..maybe next week.


Pylon class B.
Bought today and had her done after berbuka..easy to assemble and very nice decal. This is my setup:

2500kv BL motor
30A ESC
3 x 9g servo
1550mah 3s1p lipo
5x4.5 apc like prop

My Multiplex Acromaster

This plane has been resting under the bed for almost 2 years now. Finally I've decided to bring her to life.

Surprisingly this plane is easy to assemble. The hardest part only to cut the decal and place it on the body. I'm using CA foam safe for gluing all together. Cut the hinge slot for elevator, aileron, and rudder.

Foam safe CA. Odorless and less messy. No white residue.

Assemble to fuse and motor mount. Very simple and clean motor mount. I have this motor also for quite a while; turnigy 900kv from HC. Everything fit like a glove.

Paired this motor with 12x6. Dunno if this is ok or not. Will taco it later.

Add the canopy hatch holder

The hardest part is to fix all the decal on the body. It takes more time than assembling the plane.

Sorry for the poor quality of the picture due to low light.
