OMP Hobby 49" Challenger Balsa Airplane Receiver Ready Version

This plane is the best bag for your buck! Excellent servos and propulsion system. It is plenty fast on 3S and faster than it has any right to be on 4S. It is insanely fun and incredibly agile.
Now some important notes. I would not say this is a plane for beginners. It can be tamed down with like 30% throws and some expo but this thing has ailerons like barn doors and it likes to get spicy if you get silly on the sticks!
With that being said if you have some experience under your belt and like agility this plane is a ton of fun.

Got my Challenger at the Toledo swap meet this past spring for an even $200 (thanks guys). It has come to the field with me every time this summer and I am not bored with it. It's very responsive and yes slow or fast it's easy to control. First plane I've felt comfortable doing a drill bit dive at the ground. Come in over the runway past center and climb vertical like a drill bit, come over the top and back down like a drill bit. You will need to set up rates or move balls on horns in if you want to calm it down though. It is rigged out of the box for a lot of throw (and fun) on all flight surfaces. I fly mostly on low rates (3 position switch) which reduces my aileron travel by roughly a 3rd (on low) - elevator by half (on low) - rudder full travel on all rates on my set up. Motor/ESC has power to spare on a 3S 2200 30C up to a 120C. Even on the 30c its unlimited vertical. I think you could even go with a smaller mAh if you can get CG to come in, but you would probably need to add weight in nose as my 2200 is against the firewall. Thumb screws for securing wing and battery hatch plenty big enough for access. No problem with magnets on hatches for battery/wing access and very secure. For a smallish plane touch and goes are even easy :-)

Awesome Service Buddy RC answer the phone promptly and help will all the issues I had. I was blown away that I got a person in the US that could help me when I needed it and vary Quickly. The model is very high quality better than I have ever seen in a Plug and Play and setup was pretty easy too. I will buy here again and again.
