Of late, we’ve seen how the PA airplanes can be flown (skinned) in many many ways and this opens up the possibilities for heaps of people in flying the PA airplanes.

So long one can take off, land, and recover an airplane by oneself, thus far, the Kat and the Addiction presents numerous opportunities for most to enjoy this hobby whereby once a upon a time, such opportunities were lacking.

Of course, the latest addition to the PA family, Ultimate AMR belongs to this category as well.

And the planes are fairly robust, too. Performance is great (and in many cases, like the MX and it’s Thrust 50 set up simply unmatched) – and thanks to the iPAs, set up is no brainer – everything works out of the box.

Even if it sounds a bit cheesy but I have never seen so many smiling and happy faces in my time flying rc planes as in the last couple of months.

The People? Whenever I drop in Adad always remembers not only me and what I fly and has read my posts but she knows about the guys I fly with too. Very passionate and professional.

The Planes? Here some of my blog entries-

Electric Shock 13/4/09
Well after more than 2 years this plane is officially retired. It was such good fun and truly took massive punishment and repairs and kept flying. It’s a great plane to just keep in the car and fly pretty much anywhere.

Katana MD 12/9/08
Man the thing rips up the sky. I was zooming around looping, rolling snapping and stuff amazed at how tight and quick all of the maneuvres were for such a big plane. Then I realised I was on low rates. HOLY CRAP it’s mad on high rates. Snap rolls are absolutely blinding and it loops and just about catches its own tail. Maddddd. My favourite thing this arvo was going vertical non stop and rolling all the way up as far as I dared. Talk about unlimited vertical.
Flying like this the KMD absolutely rips holes in the sky. It’s fast and agile. Unlimited rolling climbs, flat spins, knife edge spins, blenders, snap rolls, inverted passes all done with ease

Now I’m flying the Extra 260 and it is quite simply the best! Although a mate just told me not to buy another plane until I have seen his Extra MX fly (I guess he’s pretty happy with it)

And last but not least (for anyone still reading my loooong post), about 3 weeks ago I changed my avatar to my Extra 260!

only space left to be even cooler is a big ultimate.
cant express how much i love the small one.

But what I admire is that PA have a clear philosophy in mind when it comes to developing a new product.
This brings about creativity, innovation and ingenuity which puts PA designs in a league of their own. Their philsosphy extends to their customers who are satisfied in knowing that they are flying the PA way

Thank you PA

Vitter

I have owned or flown all PA’s aircraft with the exception of the MX.

Each aircraft does exactly as described while using some very innovative design features.

I find the need to buy the newest planes out there all the time but never seem to let go of my PA planes. When I do re-equip mine to fly again I realize why I always hang on to them.

There will always be room in my hanger for Precision Aerobatics finest products. Keep up the great work and look forward to seeing what’s next
from PA.

• They Fly the Best!
• They Look the Best!
• The iPA’s are the Best, matched to each airframe for max performance!
• PA are the Best to deal with!

What more could you want?

Its the best engineered and flying models available off-the-shelf.

The models perform as advertised on the videos meaning what you see is what you get….stock out of the box.

BUT what I really like best about PA models are the countless smiles I get from every PA model owner I meet. This is simply priceless!

I then moved up to the KMD, it was a breeze to build and it just looked great. I still think it’s the best looking PA plane out there.

Now I’m regularly flying the Extra 260. It’s a go to plane. No fuss.

I’m still amazed how the “PA Experience”‘ gets better with every new plane. Kinks worked out making builds easier, planes flying better.

Cheers,
Adnan

Love you guys, so friendly and helpful! (Cheers to Adad who I have had many email conversations with!)
Keep it up!

The IPA:s and the confidence you get with it, flying these quality planes.

In quick succession, I then got myself an Extra 260 and a KMD. They’re all awesome planes.

I love PA because the quality of their planes and IPAs setup gives me full confidence in my equipment. This lets a newbie like me concentrate fully on learning new maneuvers, and to try stuff I’d never dare try on a lesser plane.

Precision Aerobatics ……the only Aerobatic limit is your imagination

PA Addiction, Extra 260

My first PA Plane was The Mini Katana..the second also..
it was the begining of a new Aeria..light..and small..
after the Mini comes the Addiction.. the greatest 3D plane i think..
the next ,the Extra 260..two of them..
it was a big Lump for me learning to fly better..
so i also need the ultimate..its a nice looking and good flying bipe.. i love it
but for me the best is the EXTRA Mx..
the new Sice..the lowest wheight word wide..in contest to the EF extra ..the MX is the BIG Winner!!
About all the PA planes controllers and engines i cant say ANY BAD THING..
GO FORWARD IN THIS WAY..i go with You

A few weeks later I purchased a red Kantana MD. As I removed the model from the box it was easy to see the extra care that was taken, even to the packaging of each component of the model. Upon closer examination it was obvious that extreme effort had went into this aircraft; the quality was clearly evident. Just like their Edge 540T, the Kantana MD had the same fantastic quality, just in a smaller, electric, package.

What immediately stuck out was the extra effort that went into the fiberfusion carbon fiberglass bonding, how incredibility light the plane was, and the amazing way PA closely fit the circular fitting aileron-to-wing hinging. It was obvious from the moment I took the plane out of the box that it was going to be a great 3D performer, and it did not disappoint! The Kantana flew responded so quickly and precisely, it made me look like a much better pilot than I am.

Being the first Precision Aerobatic electric on our field an audience gathered to watch its maiden flight. They were wow’ed by my flying ability. Truth is, I’m only a mediocre R/C (at best)…. quietly, I was wow’ed by how well the Kantana help me fly! The funny part was, I was just getting back into the hobby and I hadn’t flown an R/C plane in almost 8 years, but I immediately felt comfortable flying with this plane.

Perhaps the reason I most like Precision Aerobatics aircraft is they stand behind what they sell. As with any electronic component, from any manufacturer, an occasional failure can happen. As it turned out the ESC in my Kantana failed after a couple of flights. I contacted Precision Aerobatics about the problem and they took immediate action to resolve the issue. In short order they had diagnosed the problem and sent me a new replacement component, without charge.

It would tough to find any company that builds more precise, fantastic flying, great looking R/C aircraft, and stands behind their product like Precision Aerobatics does.

Next in my hangar? The Precision Aerobatics Edge 540T, of course! :^))

Customer support is un-matched in the aero-modeling industry.

Enough Said, the truth of the matter is that the flight characteristics alone has made me a life long custormer.

Happy PA Model Owner

Still waiting for a FiberFusion 30% plane to be announced.

What I love most about PA is the one on one service I have received each time I purchased or had a problem with a purchase.
PA’s customer relationship is second to none!

I started flying PA’s excellent models a few year back with a Mini Katana, second model was the excellent Supersonic, my third model was the Edge 540T complete with DA50R & Hitec digital servo’s.

Unfortunately through pilot error I busted up the Edge 540T in a low manoeuvre gone wrong…PA came through again and had a new plane shipped across the country, I live in Perth WA, in a week and I was back in the air!

Thanks PA
Keep up the great work!

From OZ!

I am the proud owner and pilot of a green AMR, green 260 and a new blue Extra MX. They are all superb machines. The new MX is a fantastic airplane it draws unbelievable attention every time I take it out. I love the IPA packages the PA folks put together…always first class in every respect.

-The way their planes fly. Nothing else i’ve tried comes close.
-I like that I can get any PA plane with IPAs complete setup in one click and not worry about a thing.
-Their construction philosophy. (lighter IS better, but no compromise in strength)
-Their SCHEMES!!! they have the BEST schemes out there, bar none.
-Their looks; Because of PA, whenever I look at “the competition” the planes all look so wrong to me (and the schemes… ugh)
-Fiberfusion; he carbon, oooh the carbon!
-The jealous looks and Oooh’s and Aaaaah’s they always draw wherever I take them.
-Their durability

I also like the way they pop in to the forums to provide information, not to police opinion and repress free speech.

IMHO the Thrust of PA is to bring like-minded-fun-loving-RC-flying people together in a simple way to build comradeship and stay connected while we pursue our flying, wherever we may be!

What I like about PA’s products and services?

• PA = Precision Aerobatics = PEOPLE ALWAYS!
• Precisely Attuned (IPA)
• Performance Airframe
• Priceless Airtime
• Playfully Addictive
• Precisely Addictive

PA = PEOPLE ALWAYS!

It’s all about having fun …

I have the 48″ Extra 260 + IPAs. This is my first PA product. I have only about 20-25 flights on her so far.

After some issues with the guys in the big brown truck, I finally had a set of undamaged wings. Steve was very helpful, and didn’t hesitate to send me a new pair of wings; however, he didn’t have a set of red wings in stock, so it took a few weeks for them to arrive. Since I bought the plane, I have called Steve for advice on numerous occasions. He has always been willing to help, and always takes the time to answer my questions. Definitely a good experience – all things considered.

When I started the assembly process, the origin of the ‘precision’ part of the name became very evident to me. Everything simply fit! With any ARF, I expect to do a bit of sanding and/or trimming here & there to get everything lined up correctly. Not so with the PA Extra 260! Even the horizontal stab lined up perfectly without any shims or adjustment. Another thing I noticed was the warp-free structures and the wrinkle-free covering. The IPAs package fit without a hitch, and seems to be well-engineered for a good balance between performance and endurance.

My first flight revealed the rest of the reason for the ‘precision’ part of the name. When the wind is down, she flies like a ship of much larger scale. It’s as if she is flying in oil! It is easy to fly her slow, yet withabsolute authority over the air. She looks nearly full-scale when flown in this manner. Not something I would have expected from such a small-scale ship. She reminds me more of a 40% ship, than a park-scale ship.

Subsequent flights revealed her “dark side” – her multiple personalities. Although she can easily fly slow, lazy circuits like a large-winged trainer, a bit more throttle and more aggressive stick action reveals her spicy, more lively side. Her flight controls and throttle are surgically precise. She will eagerly and happily respond to her pilot’s wishes. She feels light on the sticks, and can gracefully complete most any maneuver her pilot can think of – all without ever exploring the top 50% of her throttle.

If one succumbs to the temptation of her nearly unlimited power – as will eventually be the fate of nearly all who fly her; yet another facet of her personality comes to the surface – her wild & naughty side. At WOT, she laughs in the faces of Sir Isaac Newton and Daniel Bernoulli. She veritably defies gravity, and seemingly – nearly all the laws of flight. She seems to obey only the laws of André-Marie Ampère, Alessandro Volta, Georg Simon Ohm, Nicola Tesla. And the commands of her pilot. Her acceleration @ WOT is nothing short of breathtaking! She responds instantly and with absolute authority to any and all inputs her pilot commands, yet always retains her fluidity of motion. She knows no boundaries except those of earth, space – and those of her pilot.

Her flight envelope is nothing short of outstanding! She can slow to sub-trainer speeds and remain perfectly controllable, yet she is every bit as happy (maybe even happier?) @ WOT – ripping up the sky, seemingly defying physics – while performing wild and violent high-G, full-stick maneuvers. She is just as happy carving up the sky with precision, pattern maneuvers. Or anywhere in between.

Landings are nearly automatic. Most of the time, I can land her so softly, I swear she could land on tissue paper. When set up with a more forward CG, some more expo and/or less throw, she is as docile as a trainer – yet is still precise – very much unlike most trainers!

PA’s Extra 260 is one of those rare planes that can be easily set up to serve as an aileron trainer; aerobatic trainer; pattern ship; and all-out 3D-machine. A rare find, indeed!

I now know the reason for the rest of the name.

If the rest of PA’s line possesses similar qualities – it is no wonder that nearly everyone who flies a PA plane – ends up buying at least one! Yes – the price is a bit higher than some, but the quality & flight characteristics more than make up for that. I will be a return customer! Possibly an AMR or MX?

What do I like about my PA plane?

1) Excellence in engineering. Use of geometry to create strength where needed, in the directions needed, with the minimum amount of mass.

2) Excellent construction. Many experienced modelers would have a difficult time building an airframe as straight as this.

3) Adaptability. Can be configured for anything from aileron training or sport-flying, to pattern aerobatics or all-out 3D wildness.

4) Well-balanced IPAs. I can fly conservatively and get 15 minute flights; or I can spend 6-7 minutes defying gravity with a 2.5:1 thrust-to-weight ratio! Most of the time, I’m using ~1200 mAh or so at the 10-minute mark. After a 10-minute flight, the pack is just barely warm. There is so much available power, it is nearly ridiculous; yet the weight of the power package is so low. Like putting a .91 4-stroke where a .46 two-stroke should be – but without the the excess nose weight and overstress.

5) Surgically-precise controls and throttle. Never before have I owned a ship with precision like this! She responds to the most subtle inputs, yet remains so fluid in motion. Her throttle is like a digital caliper – precise, and perfectly repeatable.

6) She gives her pilot a sense of confidence that is difficult to find elsewhere. Not unlike the feeling of confidence one gets behind the wheel of a well-engineered automobile, such as a BMW or Lotus, for example.

7) All of the above inspires her pilot to try new things…to push her flight envelope….to push the pilot’senvelope – to become a better pilot.

8) Knowledgeable staff, willing to help. Very good support – both online, and over the phone.

Just to say I am very happy with PA customer service.

I ordered a new landing gear plus some other stuff and the delivery was very fast!
I also asked them to modify my initial order and they did it at once!

Thank you very much for following through on this I am suitably impressed that you looked into my inquiry so comprehensively.

I have a great deal of respect for Precision Aerobatics and the effort you go to in producing such fine products, my interest in the APC props is of course because they are a little less costly but do take note of your advice regarding the VOX wood props.

I will be purchasing more goods from you in due course.

Thanks so much! The service is just as brilliant as the plane it self!

Game on !!!! I also own a Katana MX and will but PA again. Awesome!

I am impressed with everything about PrecisionAerobatics from selection of individual planes, the selection of IPA’s (I am one of those pilots who would much rather buy the factory tested and proven system), and what initially hooked me on PA the quality not only of the model with the fiberfusion which blew me away, but also the fit and finish.  PA planes are truly a joy to assemble. They are even more of a joy to fly and they make me appear a better pilot.

Anyway, I wanted to thank you again and say that every experience I have had with every individual from PA has been superior customer service.

Sincerely,
David Casey

Thanks again.

You could say I’m “Addicted” to my Precision Aerobatics planes. The builds are all fun and pleasant and the parts fit together like a glove. Once built, the planes look and fly so beautifully, they are like an extension of my flying intentions. I always have a PA plane with me when I go to the flying field. Love them!

My son (11) and myself (43) are now into the hobby about one year. We have purchase several planes from different suppliers and all I can say is that PA uses a ton of clear tape to make sure nothing moves in their shipping.

It’s just about simple build quality every time.

I love my MK and for my first real 3d plane I think I have a true winner and couldn’t have picked a better group to do business with.

Thanks PA

These planes are the very best in construction and flight envelope. My Bandit is fantastic. I would love to get my hands on a Addiction. I hope I win. Your plane was my first RC aircraft.

When i fly the Bandit, everyone notices.

I will pass the word.

Thanks again,

Jim

you guys rock!!!!!

Rgds & clear skies.

I am just emailing to let you know that I have never bought a plane off you guys before and i just pruchased the addiction but I can honestly say that i have never seen quality like this before, it is absolutely fantastic. So strong and yet so light, I definately think you should be making large scale 3D planes as well.

I also fly larger scale 3D and jets and i recently bought an F18 which cost me $18,000 Aus. Even though it is composite, the build quiality was friggen discusting and i have spend weeks making it airworthy and for that money you would expect perfection but for such a small plane that the addiction is, i think it shits over the F18 with the internal construction.

Keep up the great quality and i hope I see large scale planes from you guys soon

Thanks

corey

I found it really enjoyable building something as precisely made and well thought out as your kits (I have an Addiction X too).  Keep up the good work!

Best regards,

Steve Condon, CAS

So thank you for putting up with my incessant questions. I’m obviously not a builder, and on top of that, I’m an ex-classical musician with a compulsion for perfection. A nasty combination! I’m sure I will bug you with more questions before I’m done, but I can’t tell you enough how much it means to me to have someone to go to who can help me get this done, and done right.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Gratefully yours,

Rob Merriman
