I have finally gotten around to doing the build on the X-3D jet, the X-3D is very maneuverable and a BLAST to fly! its very stable in harrier. I think a video or two says it all:

I balance My model just behind the prop, But I recommend starting with it just in front of the prop until you get the feel for the model.

For throws I run aprox 45 degree's with 90% expo.

If you got a kit off of me in TX this year and have questions about the build please don't hesitate to ask!

Thanks for looking. more video&pic's coming soon!

thanks for the video's Gary! the model I built for the log is out of what appears to be Depron or at least a closer family member than the Gediplac your kit was cut out of...its a little heaver but significantly stiffer. I'll be bringing down kits out of this foam...as well as EPP

Chris
