Extra 330 Balsa Plug and Fly 1500mm for 6s w/Motor/ESC/MG Servo

Extra 330 Balsa Plug and Fly 1500mm for 6s w/Motor/ESC/MG Servo
Extra 330 Balsa Plug and Fly 1500mm for 6s w/Motor/ESC/MG Servo


Ever fancied a decent sized 3D or Aerobatic Sport Fly balsa plane but were baffled by the set up choices? Or maybe you just want a large balsa sport plane that can be assembled in double quick time? If so, this great looking and very capable Extra 330 is for you!

The all balsa construction of this nice size Extra is nicely done, as is the expertly applied covering. The level of pre-assembly is very high for a balsa model, the powerful outrunner brushless motor, ESC and Metal Gear Digital Servo's have all pre-installed! Once out of the box, you simply need to glue on the horizontal stabilizer, screw in the ball linked pushrods, bolt on the superb Carbon Fibre undercarriage, rig up the pull/pull rudder and you are basically good to go! The wings are plug in, as you would expect and are mounted on a large but lightweight CF tube, the large canopy is secured by a proper latch and can be accessed in seconds for rapid battery changes, so as well as looking and performing brilliantly, the Extra is also practical!

There is no doubt that this is Extra is very capable 3D plane but being a scale model, it is also great for sport aerobatic's and given it's size, the Extra is a perfect club size model. The bright scheme is excellent for orientation, and the powerful pre-installed motor swings a 15x8 prop on 6s, more than enough power for any type of flying! This Extra 330 is a great looking and very capable model that offers the convenience of a foamy combined with the durability, performance and precision that only balsa can offer!

Sturdy but Lightweight Balsa Construction
Excellent Level of Finish with Superbly Applied Covering and Painted GF Cowl & Wheel Pants
Large Control Surfaces, Ideal for 3D

Esse aeromodelo e para pilotos avanç*ados, e aeromodelo nao e brinquedo!!!!!, se um bichinho desse cair em alguem, e CAIXAO E VELA. Compre primeiro um simulador e um aero para iniciantes (treinadores), procure ajuda de outros pilotos, depois de aprender a voar vc vai se graduando e passa para um desse. abs.

This looks like a complete copy of the **** 57" extra 330, right down to the color.
 Yong 3 points
Yep, it looks like an exact copy, somehow HK mustve gotten ahold of the **** files. Also, if you watch the video, you will see that it has the "Fly the Best" **** logo on it multiple times throughout the video, the most obvious one being at 0:40.
Amateur  25 points - 4/13/2013
 
does it have enough power to hover vertically? i am looking for a reasonable cheap plane to do the job and this looks like the one.
 Ben 106 points
they say it has amazing verticle performance and large surfaces for 3d so i would hope so but then again it is hk you could always put in your own motor if the on installed doesnt give the performance you want
 Ben 106 points
and watch the video to see what it can do asswell
 maxx4wd 28 points
More than enough power to hover vertically...tumbles very well too...pretty good flying plane overall - a bit heavy especially with the 6s brick in it but for the money it flies great.
steve  10 points - 4/13/2013
 
Please help me for choice the battery 6S 4000 or 4500 or 5000 and weight for good balancement thank you extra 330 plug and flight 1500mm

Hello the good battery for to model its what?????? Extra 330 Balsa Plug and Fly 1500 mm for 6 s w/Motor/ESC/MG Servo
 maxx4wd 28 points
I'm using the 4500 6S nanotech and have no issues...I would love to run a smaller (hence lighter battery but there is so much tail weight that you'll need every bit of the 6s as far forward as you can just for it to balance.

is there a wire included for the rudder?
 maxx4wd 28 points
Yes everything is provided, however I upgraded my pull pull connectors with dubro pieces...also the 4mm thumbscrews for the wings were not included so you'll have to get some - other than that make sure you go through the entire plane with some glue as most of the hinges and control horns needed to be reglued...flies great.

In my cardbox was only the plaine without assesoirs.
 maxx4wd 28 points
make sure it wasn't taped to the foam...I found a whole bag of stuff taped inside the bubble wrap that I almost threw away...learned that the hard way on another plane...if not just go to your local HS and pickup some quality pull-pull kit and it should have everything you need...
Pirmin  2 points - 2/14/2013
 
where is the center of gravity?
 Gary 2958 points
There is an instruction manual in the "Files" section which shows the C of G,it states 100mm from the leading edge at the wing root.
 maxx4wd 28 points
good luck getting that - Even with additional weight in the nose I can only get 110mm - but have since moved it to about 115mm with the 6s all the way forward and a little extra weight on the nose. For the maiden the CG was way too far back but was still predictable albeit a little touchy.

I just got the prox and that is the best 3d plane I have ever owned if u use a .55 on it, it will hover torque roll and every other trick not to mention its the toughest plane I have ever owned

Please, I bought one this plane in scratch&dent mode (no damaged related) but received than damaged (engine cowling, fuselage-tail, wing servo mount and rudder).
Anybody know where i can find replacement parts for this Extra 330 and what is the manufacturer of this plane?

 gahcaron 7 points
This plane should not have a manufacturer that you can do is a repair with resin in the fuselage fairing and you will even have to desentelar the same and make the repairs
 maxx4wd 28 points
This is so close in size to the **** 330sc that its based off of that you could probably use their parts as replacements - I know I just ordered their side force generators ... don't know for sure if it'll fit but couldn't hurt to e-mail them the dimensions and then verify for yourself.

to aus please also dont use xt60 to hxt adaptor is is only rated to 60A and this plane draws 80ish HTH

can anybody that buys this 1st please post the MEASURED wingspan and fuselage specs please?
 Electric Power 465 points
at that price I think you will be waiting a while before someone buys it. There are planes even from other companies that would be cheaper to put together.
 scottc 100 points
the specs say for wingspan and lenthe is 1500 mm, and in inchs is 60 inchs. nice looking plane to.
 maxx4wd 28 points
I purchased this plane and it's on the slow boat from China as we speak - I'll give you the measured wingspan and fuselage as soon as it arrives.
 sfactor1 939 points
i'll ask again....can anybody MEASURE the wingspan and length and post the numbers that they ACTUALLY MEASURED?
 maxx4wd 28 points
I'd love to help you out but apparently HK "lost" my package so it may be a while until I can fight long enough to have them send another...and I'm sure I'll have to pay for shipping again...so far not liking this plane at all.
 maxx4wd 28 points
Ok Finally got mine delivered (replacement to the first that never showed up) and the actual measurements are Length = 55inch (back of rudder to front of cowl) and Wing Width = 60" (wing tip to wing tip) By the way covering is perfect...can't wait to maiden it - use the 3d hobby shops install guide though...better prep info - and you have to drill a hole in the rudder for the tail wheel.
BEST ANSWER CREDIT AWARDED
 sfactor1 939 points
scottc....1500mm is 59.05512 inches. maxx so you measured exactly 60" (1524mm)? could it actually be 59" and the extra inch came from having to measure around the fuselage? either way, that proves it's not the 57" plane from the other brand
 maxx4wd 28 points
sfactor1 - yes the wings are probably around 59" as the measurement had to go above the fuse and furthermore at the time of measurement I didn't have the wings fully bolted down as no thumb bolts were provided and once I did the wings snugged up a little...not 3" worth but when I get home I'll re-measure tip to tip now that the wings are fully seated and a few flights have been performed.

after 3 flights today with my converted UCANDO 3D by Great planes I will have trouble flying small electrics again. 57 inch wings, 60 size turigy, 5000, 6c 30c batt and it was amazing. Plus I got the planes used ( just the plane) for 40$ When I see a big plane like this one it will be great to fly for sure.
 scottc 100 points

what motor is actually in this plane, can you give size in lenth and width for me, if i get this i would change to a 4 cell setup, i have a motor that runs up to 950 watts so i know the motor i have will fly the plane.

I don't know but I fly a UCANDO 3D with a 55 inch WS that I use a G60 with a 6S 5000 and it goes like a wet cat

i just finished building a 1400mm funcub not too long ago. it is big. yesterday i baked some cookies using peanut butter, oatmeal, walnuts, maple syrup and cranberries. i think i might watch a movie on my 55" tv. i will have trouble watching on small tvs again.

please hobbyking, can somebody confirm the true specs? is it 1400mm span as spoken in the video or 1500mm as written in the specs or something in between? the conflicting specs means at least something is wrong and needs to be corrected.
 sfactor1 939 points
hk plz correct the conflicting stats. it makes a big difference!!!!!!!
 maxx4wd 28 points
Length = 1400 mm (55inch) and Width = 1500 (60 inch) see above post. Actual measurements

I see this model have same wing area as Precision Aerobatics Extra MX (46,5dm2). But PA Extra MX have flying weight only 1750g, so HK Extra 330 a much better racer?
 justice 579 points
you can-not compare this plane or any other plane to a PA master piece. PA are in a league of there own!
 sfactor1 939 points
pa planes are the lightest out there. they are the ferrari of the 3d planes. also the pa uses a 2200 6s. the recommend batt for this is 4000-5000 6s. huge diff in batts
 =Gor= 27 points
Yes, Sfactor1, huge diff in batts.
Only.

Turnigy 5000mAh 6S 25C Lipo Pack - weight 812g
Turnigy nano-tech 2200mah 3S 25 ~ 50C Lipo Pack - weight 187g

So:
- HK Extra 330 WITHOUT battery weight 2188g
- PA Extra MX WITH battery 6S 4400mah (4x3S 2200mah) weight 2124g

On the other hand - HK Extra 330 with recommend batt 5000mAh 6S - a good model for long range FPV, then in aerobatic zone can make cool 3D and fly long range FPV in landing zone. Just like real airplanes ))
 sfactor1 939 points
ferrari performance comes with a ferrai price tag. the pa will cost me over $1000 to the door. i did the math here but was censored :( This plane will cost me just over $400 to the door. besides the huge diff in batts, the 250% price difference is a also a huge diff to me
 Electric Power 465 points
I use 6s 5000 in my converted to electric UCANDO ( made by great Planes) Amazing batts but a brick when it comes to weight. Will have it back in the air as soon as the 3 or 4 days of rain/wind go away
 Alt-F4 270 points
Comparing PA ExtraMX vs. HK Extra330: PA 330 US$ (Germany) vs. HK 350 US$. PA 1.750g vs. HK 3.000g. So you have to pay 20 US$ to get 1.250g extra Extra! LOL
 Electric Power 465 points
I find HK packaging heavy but I have never had a plane arrive damaged.
 sfactor1 939 points
alt f4 - good troll comment! price is pretty good in that u get a FREE 1.750kg in MOTOR, ESC AND 4 SERVOS. and the FREE LABOUR of installation! also the U CANNOT COMPARE a PA with this or the 3d shops plane
 Electric Power 465 points
agree on the price of a PNP plane
the HK Extra 330 1650 mm a****** (only) 275$ to the door
This plane is 385$ to the door but a RX and batt and go flying. but it is 1500mm or maybe 1400mm??
What puts this plane our of reach is the shipping. There are RC companies in Canada that are free shipping inside Canada. So there is the toss up. I think I will hold off till spring since I have to many planes now
KaosKane  1427 points - 8/9/2012
 
the xt-60 to HXT adaptors will not handle 80 AMPS so please do not use it cut the xt-60 off and solder a new plug onto the esc..
 KaosKane 1427 points
ps the xt-60 page tells us max constant amperage is 60a
