Two of us have got Addiction X (Santhosh and I), we are building it simultaneously (1775 Kms Apart), a combined buildlog and fly log with different servos and motors will be undertaken, more people with Addy X can join in. Let us get addicted to Addy X.  

available here (http://www.precisionaerobatics.com/product_details.php?pid=635), Mr Adad is very prompt in replying, shouldn't be a problem to get one.

Preview of My addiction X (green) , santhosh has the Red one. Watch out this space for more

Rookies and Experienced alike are enjoying Addy X , all available colors flying together, I don't think the photographer is a RC man, at 02:15 he almost had a crew cut

looks like my kind of 3d bird ! PA has inspired me as well 

beauty, you built it ?

A year ago..the wing design, perticularly the huge tip chord makes it very stable at low speeds. An advantage for me as i dnt have dual rate function on my Tx (as 3d throws will toss it around violently,thus making it more difficult to fly slow).

Here is how it looks now after being grounded for good. heavily modded with thicker foil & new colour scheme.

actually if you see, the LE of the aileron should be swept back, which means Root Chord of the Aileron should have been longer than the Tip Chord, even now if you can redesign the aileron and she should fly well. In fact you brought it out yourself, in the last post i typed it and deleted it (Fearing your anger ), my suspect was same, Tip Stall.

got it.... used to have one all the time at school - Granna said, it would make you come to the barber not too often

Well the way they were holding the plane in sync reminds me when Thai snake handler's kid used to get thier first snakes! they showed on Nat Geo and only its picture could justify my simily

no issues, never get angry  
Get ur point. Will try ur suggestion on my next build.

Idea was to leave aileron tips broad enough to make them more effective,
by the way i was happy with this design as this plane helped me learn atleast some 3d tricks ....and i can say i did ok with self designed plane.

this one's even older..

few pics of my addy x,will start the build soon, waiting for the servos from tower

gorgeous santhosh, i am waiting for dinachandran to come back soon, so that i can start the build

i have seen the smaller 1 flying and i even i thinking about getting a plank like that

just a pain to transport planes when u dont have a car. maybe i get 1 for flying on the beach back in thailand

Green Addiction X Will be using TGY AerodriveXp 46 SK Series 50-55 580 instead of Recommended Thrust® 40 Motor . Comparison of these motors are as follows :-

                TGY 5055               Thrust 40
Kv (rpm/v)              1250              850
Weight (g)              142                      140
Max Current (A)      61                      45
Power(W)              630                      500
Shaft A (mm)         4                        5
Length B (mm)       46                      41
Diameter C (mm)    35                      37.2
Ex Showroom $       40$                   80$

Esc that i will use will be Turnigy Plus 80 A (40$) as opposed to PA Quantum 45A (80$)

However will be using Recommended VOX T40-X Electric wooden propeller

Red one will be using recommended Props and Motors & TGY 60A ESC.

As you can see TGY Wt is nearly same, pull is good, dia is 2.2 mm less and cost is half

Your Views !!!

thats a big motor, i think i underestimate size of this plane. what battery are you planning to run it on?

recommended 2200 mah 3S (Not the costly ones, HK ones )

PS
thats one damn big motor, review says pulls like 90-110 2S engine

i got a few 4s 2200 batteries
can any 1 recomend a motor for that?

allso got a bunch of jazz esc, 40`s and 80`s is 40 enough on 4s or should i go for 80?

Red one will be using all recommended Props ESCs and Motors.

no, i am planing to use turnigy 60 amp esc for this, all other things remains as per the manual,waiting for the  servvos and vg's.then too i am not sure when i start the build, yak 54 and piper cub from praveen are still in queue

i've used Turnigy Plush 40amp ESC and I continue to use it. I must say its a very good ESC. Delivers good power to the motor. It can handle a 4S Lipo too without overheating.

How about if I build it for you in June ?? when on vacation to Kerala ?

that will be fine    . thanks a ton

why it is so important to seal the aileron and elevator hinge gaps in addictionx,no idea  how it affects the flying characterestics of a plane,hope augustinev can answer

that too with carbon tape, WTF out of their minds, no effect at all. Reason ? there is something called Laminar Sub Layer it is the dead air close to the aeroplane which is still, and does not move with respect to the airplane, . However PA Need to have done something about the Kevlar String of the pull pull system which keeps stretching (People have used twisted fishline instead of supplied Kevlar String) and the canopy falling off in 3D.

i was wrong about the motor. it is 50 mm in dia and weighs 329 grams

balancing cg will be a problem for you if you are using this motor, if you need i will try to get one thrust 40 motor for you, not sure.it's better to go for the recommended setup when playing with the costly beauties,, i told you already 

I ordered 82 Metal Gear with Rotor.co.in, i got Hitec 81 Nylon Gear, some packing error , there is no Hitec 82MG in the world, even on HK it is on BK , found a good alternative to 82MG this one (http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=6608) , dunno whether to go with it or not Got two alternative motors instead of thrust 40 , no names no stickers, just simple motors, similar dimensions and weight, one is 800KV and one 1000KV, rest i need to figure out on my own

 I got the hs82mg from tower, Rcd the servos and vg's on the same
  day, don't worry your thrust 40 will reach here on Monday morning
