I just bought one of your Addiction planes and from the time I opened the box I new this was the best built plane I ever had, and I have had a lot of planes (so says my wife). It wasn’t until I flew it (yesterday) that I knew that this was the best flying plane I have ever had and just wanted to thank all of you there for all the fun I am having with it. I blew away some guys flying there flat foam airplane want to be or as I call them powered kites with it last weekend, they now know what balsa can do.

Thank You,

I flew a PA Addiction this weekend. It's a really nice plane. It does 3D effortlessly and it's solid all the way around. It's also a fairly big airplane (which I like) and it weighs next to nothing. It's delightful to fly.

Well, maiden flight 1 & 2 are in the books. Using the set-up in my prev. post I am VERY happy to report all went well. This is a straight forward aircraft, does what you ask it to and doesn't talk back. I'm not risking the "inches off the ground" 3D stuff just yet, the airplane is new!? But it took off and landed well from a winter grass surface. The landing gear is stout, I feel it will hold up well over the long term. And speaking of landing, the Addiction will land TAIL WHEEL FIRST with little encouragement from the pilot, VERY COOL! Solid harriers, seems to hover well. But I was attempting hovering at 20+ feet and in 10+mph winds so I will have to report more back about that when I find a calmer day. If I were to combine the building experience plus my early flight experience I would rate the Addiction overall a 9 out of 10. And who knows, with more time on the sticks it might become a 10 out of 10!?

Fun airplane, happy flying!

I can breathe maiden over. I had to fly in the local park which was smaller than I really wanted, but after a few initial short run takeoff and landing and getting a feel for the stall speed I was away. Click of trim here and there and that was it!!!

I am a nervous flyer really and still learning good 3D. It harriers so solidly, no hint of dropping a wing rocK solid. Hovers easily. I feel like I am flying my foamy again except it tracks much better. Very responsive, very light to fly, I love it. I need to increase my precision aerobatics skills to clean up lines etc. I love how clean it pitches from a down line into an upright hover stance.

Definitely a fun plane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I put the first six flights on my addiction today and all I can say is that this thing is the best 3D plane I have ever had!

If you want an airplane that you can control in any attitude or situation and have authority to spare, then this is your plane. Want enough aileron authority to stop a torque roll? This thing doesn't just have enough aileron to stop one, but you can do reverse torque rolls all day long! <Sick!

Add to that that the thinned funfly airfoil makes a perfect and clean transition from normal flight to 3D (harrier or full stall, like in a wall) and you end up with a totally predictable (I hate to use the word stable) airplane. Walls and waterfalls require little to no rudder to keep them straight! < Sick!!

It also does not have a side up preference! It harriers just as good right side up as it does upside down (Sick!)...

This is the first airplane that I have had where I literally had to do NO rudder to elevator mixing! It will KE straight down the deck with no mixing (balanced at recommended spot)! Plenty of rudder for KE work! KE loops etc, no problem. It could do control line turns port-a-john. <Sick!

I think everybody is going to be very happy with this plane! It is just sick, sick, sick!

As an engineer for a large aerospace company, I appreciate a well engineered product when I see it and the Addiction certainly fits that description.  Everything about the Addiction, from the quality of construction to the excellent flight characteristics make this plane stand out from the crowd.  I love this plane! In fact I just ordered my second one

"Wow" that's all I can say after flying the PA Addiction this weekend. I own four other PA aircraft, Bad Boy V2, Electric Devil, 2 X Electric Shocks and this is the finest. The fuselage has an amazing amount of carbon fiber used in the construction giving a wonderfully strong and rigid airframe. The wings are the classic PA design similar to the electric shock, the fat - thick wing gives great lift the plane nearly floats with minimal throttle. I must say that you will not be disappointed by the flying characteristics of this aircraft. It will make an even a bad pilot look good. After setting up the aircraft as per the instructed throws, I launched the aircraft into the air, I expected to make some adjustments to the trims but none were needed, I have read this before about the addiction and it is true. To me this shows the skill of an aircraft manufacturer that truly understands the product being produced and takes all measures to ensure absolute accuracy in the complete assembly of a model aircraft. As you can see I am a truly converted Precession Aerobatics fan, If you check out their website you will see the most advanced model aircraft made in the world today, Shaun is reinventing the rules of model aircraft construction and using modern materials in ways never before seen in model aircraft. If you do choose to buy a PA addiction or I would strongly suggest using there what they call iPA's, for example... The bluebird servos supplied are excellent with chunky metal gearing sticking out the top, as well they are quick .11sec. Also the motor and speed controller are of the highest quality the Thrust 20 has been developed by PA to give the best possible performance with rotor cool technology. Any way I going to stop writing now, I could tell you all day about how good the PA addiction is but you should take my advice and get one your self, you will not be disappointed especially if you like 3D. Happy flying !!

I have a story. I helped a mate maiden his Addiction last weekend and it couldn't have gone better. I flew it first to check it and found he had done a perfect job on the build. It felt sweet but the C of G was forward which is ok for him to start with but not back where I like it. It reminded me of the 'eureka' moment when I got the battery in the sweet spot on my plane and suddenly it came alive!*Anyway, I handed him the controls and he got into it straight away and was stoked. Especially when he discovered it virtually landed itself. Another happy Addiction addict created.

So a while ago I proposed the question, what is the meaning of the 7 on the rudder. No takers so I guess its just a lucky number, but for me its the number of days a week I try to fly my Addiction.

The Addiction rocks! Never have I flown a plane that handles so perfectly. Its the only plane I've had that has never crashed. You can always pull it up into a vertical climb or hover at critical moments. :) AWESOME.

I have flown the Addiction 1 hour 45 minutes since yesterday with no mishaps.
It handles better than any plane I have flown. You did great on your design!
I like it and am glad I got it. It flies the same right side up as upside down, does inside and outside loops with ease.
Does horizontal and vertical rolls nice and true and pulls vertical very well.

I hand launch it like a glider due to the small wheels and I have coarse grass..the Addiction lands better than I thought it would and is the first tail dragger I have flown.
I just keep it straight and level,flare it out at stall and plop it down on all 3 wheels with a very short roll.

Thanks for a great flying plane.

Just did the maiden flight on my addiction today, and wanted to thank you for such an awesome plane. The electric shock is great, but the addiction is just phenominal. No trims added, recommended CG is spot on for 3D. 1 flight and it is my favorite plane. Please do not ever discontinue this one, I'm sure I'm going to need another, wether its from a crash, or the need for multiple colors!!

Ah......... the Addiction, and yes it is.

I have spent the last couple of years going from plane to plane looking for something that did it all, but more to the point did it easily as I am not a rising super star of a pilot.

Well, I bought an Addiction, and yeah, its far from the most attractive plane but despute this, after review after review I decided to give it a try, even though at the last minute I was nearly put off by looks alone.

So the results are in, the PA Addiction is by far, the easiest, most floaty, unstallable, slow flying, prop hanging, harriering, precise, most loopable, stupid, utterly mental plane I have ever tried to fly. It was that good I bought one within 2 weeks just as a spare as I would not like to be without it now. It inspired me to try the rest of the PA range, and now I have 2 Addictions, the MD Katana, the Electric Shock and last but by no means least the Extra 260, what a fantasic range of planes! I even kinda have gorwn to like the look of the Addcition, or maybe I am just so biased now because of its flying capabilites?!

i had never done a harrier before this plane despite a few attempts at trying, and within 20 flights I now have this thing slowly creeping across the patch, tail dragging the floor and pointing up at a nice 45 ish degree angle at a walking pace.

My hats off to PA and Als hobbies for supplying what is in my opinion the best range of planes I have flown to date.

Is it robust, can you imagine how many times its come down on its wing, back and wheels while trying to do that for the first time!?!?!?! So far I have a slightly more flexible wing tip but no repairs what so ever, lol

Ffter monthss of training out in the field (I can't fly that often due to my job) now I felt secure enough with my little Addiction to handle also the aggressive attacks from these killer trees (yes, also we have it here in Switzerland... horrible).

So yesterday I flew in my garden for the first time: the plane (and me, of course *g*) did a great job, it was fun, fun, fun!!!

So I'm still so in love with my red Addiction (now I can 3D pretty much better than I was able to do with my former 3D EPP plane), but if I imagine a blue one with chrome flames, also I would buy it immediately!

Just in case there's next to the biplane project some capacity left....

Just a quick update on what an amazing package this plane and ipas package(the PA reccomended parts) are

Been flying my add for over 6 months now and it just seems to get more fun each time i fly it -

with the supplied PA 1800 mounted so that the back of the battery is around 5cm BEHIND the carbon tray this COG just makes the airframe come alive. It just seems to "sit" into its balance in the air- becoming ridiculously efficient (i fly 14 mins on an 1800 pack ) with a mix of hovering, Learning to rolling harrier, KE passes alternating 1 side to the other and then onto low rates for directional projecting pattern work - after 14 mins she's only used around 1200 - 1300 mah - UNBELIEVABLE efficiency from the synergy of Airframe, Thrust motor, pa batt and esc.

It simply blows me away how much guess work (read time wasting) i used to go through on other planes that would run hot or be under or overpowered (and heavy) and only run 10 minutes. PA have nailed the 3 dimensional analysis of time, energy and efificency on this pack.

I have tried different props too - only to find that PA nailed it with the reccomended prop - the 1 x 5.5 - the slow flyer propd are ok but chew more energy and definitely only really allow slow hovering type moves - the 11x 5.5 just needs a little more throttle to hover - but pulls out with more acceleration and has alot more feel (the slow flyer props are a little sloppy)- the 11 x 5.5 just a crisper prop for all the components behind it.

I fly around 10 packs a week through this plane - each one brings a smile to my face!
And at my local park - the audience loves this plane!

PA are so far ahead of the game that Unfortunately now i look at alot of models on hobby shop shelves or online - and most of them just look like junk now.

I know its been reported before so it came as less of a surprise that no trimming whatsoeva was needed as it flew easily away from ROG.

Thanks to PA who helped provide support when a few minor hitches were encounted with the build.

With a bit more confidence I flew again this afternoon and started to put the simulator moves into practice. I was nervous as heck but this little plane handles as good as anything on my Sim (AFD).

I was hovering, albiet well up high, in short time and was amazed at how gently it fell out when I wasn't keeping up. At no time it fell below my imaginary ground line I was aiming to keep above, it was easy to catch from any downward tendancies.

Of course this will not come as news to most of you, but I am sure there will be a few beginners to 3D, like me, wondering if the hype is true. It is!

Woo-hoo!

What a hoot. Can't believe I've sat on this one for so long, but I'm glad I finally put it together.

Started with the CG @ 100mm, 11x4.7 prop and launched on "low" rates - wasn't till I landed to switch props, move the battery back, and check the throws that I found I had no expo on elevator (& rudder!) The 11x7 was better for these initial flights, as I like to keep the speed up a bit.

Anyway, with the right expo settings and the CG back closer to the rear limit (guess about 103-104), it was a blast. I can see what all the excitement is about..

Although the 11x4.7 didn't move enough air over the surfaces for my liking, although I may try it again now I'm more comfortable flying it slower than I'm used to for a built-up model - or pick up the suggested 11x5.5. I have to say, though, with either prop, I didn't feel it had the immediate punch I'd like to have for those low recoveries - I'll play with different props and see what works best for me.

Great model. Lovin' it!

It is my opinion that for someone wanting to learn 3D flying that this model may well be the best one of all to learn on for the reasons I list in the flying section of my review. It's hard to imagine anyone not enjoying this plane!

This summer I bought 2 Addictions 1 to fly and 1 as a spare. I have over 35 hours flight time on the first one with the only thing breaking was the landing gear. I replaced it with a home made aluminum set which bends and absorbs shock for more durability.
 
The Addiction is the best flying model plane that I have ever flown and have flown model planes since 1982.
It almost makes me want to get rid of my other planes as they do not handle any where as well and feel so sluggish. This model has allowed me to improve my skills dramatically.
I look forward to receiving and flying the AMR that I just ordered.

My first plane was an Addiction. I did loads of research but basically did not want to buy a trainer and then another plane. I wanted something that was going to be fun to fly, able to fly slow and at the same time be stable so I could build up my confidence but I also wanted to be able to do crazy things when I was ready for it. Did this plane really exist 
I did loads of hours on a simulator and got used to lots of different planes and then ordered an Addiction, based on lots of peoples flying experiences.
I would definitely advise you to program your Tx on low rates. With such large control surfaces, you only need a little movement to do a lot. I also programmed the exponential rates of the Tx, so the centre was desensitised. Replicate this as well on the sim. After three flights, I was hand launching the plane  I found about 3/4 power was just right to do this.
If you have put the plane together as per the instructions, very little trim is needed. This was my main concern as I thought that my first flight was going to be a disaster, with the plane going quickly off in a direction other than the one intended, but no such bad luck. The plane for the best part of 100 yards flew straight and true.
The Addiction is just so addictive because it is so much fun, so quickly. I was doing allsorts within a week of getting the plane and have not looked back.
With enough sim stick time, this can be flown by a novice, but I would add that you have got experience and so I would whole heartedly say ‘enjoy an Addiction’

Have fun 
Richard

Dear Precision Aerobatics Team.
 
A few days ago I took my new Addiction into the air for the first time.
 
It has excellently balanced flight characteristics. I have been flying radio controlled airplanes for the last 10 years. An  ExtremeFlight Extra 300 and a Sebart Katana were part of my inventory. In fact, the 125cm-wingspan Katana still is.
I also have extensive experience with numerous 3D-Foamies.
 
To make a long story short: Your Kit combines the best characteristics of 3D-foamies( excellent low speed and stall behavior, excellent thrust/ weight ratio) with the best properties of conventionally built models.(Which are mainly precise handling and good looks)
 
The landing gear construction is the best I've ever seen in this model category. The overall lightweight toughness, rigidity and torsion resistance thanks to Fiber Fusion are likewise among the best the market currently offers.
 
ARF-Kits don't come any better than this.  I'm no celebrity, but you definitely have one very satisfied customer here. Most certainly, this is not the last PA-product I bought.
 
Best Regards from Braunschweig, Germany

I finally Maidened my Addiction today. Freggin Wonderfull Bird! Best 3D plane I have flown to date. I honestly think I could land in a flat spin without damage! Well..I am not going there..yet..
Waterfalls almost without loosing altitude! Hovers? ummmm..yeah. It is like this thing has training wheels on it.. It is like..relaxing 3d flying?? dunno if that makes sense but it is fun. I can not wait for another break in the weather so I can hammer on it some more!

Hi
 
The Addiction is one hell of a plane!!! It flies 3D better than anything I owned before.
 
Keep up the good work
 
Greetings
 
Ken

I got in about two hours of stick time with the Addiction this weekend.  What a ride!   Where do I start?  Everything about that plane is fantastic. My compliments to the engineers.  It's nimble and stable at the same time.   It's easy to fly - I'm new to aerobatics, but was able to hover on the first try.   It's a bit like eating pistachios - just one more.  Just one more flight, in this case.   If it wasn't 101 degrees down at the field, I'd still be out there.  And landings, well, just throttle back, and it lands itself.  Wow!

Well, I finally got around to building and flying my new Addiction, and all I can say is "WoW!!!" This plane is the "ONE" for what I consider the basic three 3D maneuvers - hover, harrier, and inverted harrier! All I wanted was the "easiest to hover" balsa model out there, and I am convinced the Addiction is the easiest to hover balsa model I have flown to date. I have only recently begun to hover low to the ground, and the Addiction was so pleasant to fly, I didn't hesitate to bring it in low plus the harrier was incredibly solid with no wing rock at all so I tried that down low as well. Blenders were fun and the parachute wowed the crowd with a pull out only a few feet above terra firma

I have just returned to RC after a 15 yr no fly and I just got in my first 4 flights with the Addiction. What a sweet flying plane, I have been flying a few planes I have built from kits, plus a Park Zone t28 foamie electric( first electric). It flew well for what it made of, I am impressed with how for the electric technology has come.
Then I saw a video of the Addiction flying and I immediately researched it, I have watched and followed the thread for so long but with being out of work due to disability (back went out) and income cut drastically I could not get my paws on one. Now I have this Sweet Yellow light weight bird that flies as sweet as any plane I have ever flown. I was into pattern planes late 70's but got out of the hobby.
I installed BB373's as PA suggested, before they updated their specs, only 4 flights but no slop and no problems.
My first flight was a hoot, I couldn't wait, should have but you know that feeling, wind sock at airport standing straight out, plane would only taxi one direction, into wind, I slowly gave it throttle and it responded like a pro. slowly lifting into the air like it was ment to, I was amazed.
It flew with just a couple clicks of trim. DX7 gear using PA recomended rates and expo's.

I think thesse post and hints have helped me, I actually hovered this plane before landing in this 20mph + headwind.

I fly this bad boy every chance I get. I may not be sleeping with it in my bed yet like the sales video, but I do stare at it in my office on rainy days with that intense sense of longing . . . 

Seriously though I can't get over how great this plane flies and how much it is helping to improve my overall 3D performance. Plain and simple I'm not afraid to try ANYTHING since I know I can get myself out of almost anything. Plus the basics are all so EASY with this plane; it's simply unbelievable!!

My Son maidened his Addiction yesterday, and while it was fairly calm (gusts to about 8mph) the first flight, the wind came up quite rapidly after that, and my Son put two more flights in after the wind came up. The plane handled the wind with no problems....and....my Son has only been flying RC for about two months!! The first flight was a basic trim flight (some inverted, rolls, loops), and he was still able to land it very slowly (not quite a harrier landing), the second flight was a little more bumpy landing as the wind had come up, but the third flight was rolling circles, hovering, rolling loops, and a harrier landing.....

I just wanted to say what a great job PA has been doing. I have been in RC since the 70's and have flown everything from gliders to helicopters and this is the most fun I have had.
 
I have two Addictions a red and a green, this winter I plan on ordering a blue. I log many hours during the summer season, if there is a crash I order spare parts and piece them back together.  I usually fly six battery packs when I go out. I have not seen any electrics at the flying field that can beat the Addiction design with its super light wing loading and yet it is still big enough that I can fly it in the wind. It makes me look better than I am, rolling circles are not a problem. The model hovers very easy and all you have to do is give it a little power and it starts flying again.
 
  I read your prop research and the 11 x 3.8 slow fly is my favorite all around, it seems to work best for hovering and still not overheat the power system.

I have an Addiction and after my eyes deceiving me on how far it was, away from me, I smacked it 60 ft up, into a Weeping Willow tree at full throttle using a, 11.5 Xoar.

Imagining the worst, I recovered the plane only to find that it was in perfect order, with just a slight crack to a balsa spar to the rear of the main fuse. The carbon rod running along the fuse kept it from snapping. Not even a scratch on the covering or a nick in the prop.

What other aircraft could have escaped unscathed!

The Addiction was my first RC aircraft and with the help of a sim, I am now reasonably confident in doing all sorts. I have a lot to learn but would recommend it for anyone like me who did not want to go and buy a trainer and do circuits all day, but was prepared to spend a bit of sim time first!

I am now looking forward to getting the AMR and eventually an MX.

I toyed with the idea of getting a 3DHS plane, after seeing so many good reports, but after many of their fliers trying PA planes, it is obvious that PA are the better make.

Carry on the good work PA!

Just finished it and haven't flown it yet, super easy assembly, great hardware.

I saw the video for the Addiction and knew I had to have one. I'm on my second one now (a friend helped me finish off the first 1) and this has been one of the most enjoyable planes I can remember owning. I started flying in 1993, or so.

This is such an easy to fly plane but with the huge control surfaces, when I tell it to it goes nuts. I'm not a great 3d pilot but this plane had me doing inverted harrier tail touches with ease.

This plane is awesome. It definately makes you look like a better pilot than you actually are.

Fly an Addiction, impress your friends.

Craig

Been enjoying the addiction, even able to fly her in the golf dome during the long winter months. love that it can be flown in a tight space. will be getting the mx soon

I really like the operational efficiency of the ipa packages.

Also, I like how photogenic the planes are

Steve Evans,

I listened to your interview on the "Right Stick" and I just wanted to say what a great job PA has been doing.
I have been in RC since the 70's and have flown everything from gliders to helicopters and this is the most fun I have had.

I have two Addictions a red and a green, this winter I plan on ordering an Extra 260. I log many hours during the summer season, if there is a crash I order spare parts and piece them back together. I usually fly six battery packs when I go out. I have not seen any electrics at the flying field that can beat the Addiction design with its super light wing loading and yet it is still big enough that I can fly it in the wind. It makes me look better than I am, rolling circles are not a problem. The model hovers very easy and all you have to do is give it a little power and it starts flying again.

I read your prop research and the 11 x 3.8 slow fly is my favorite all around, it seems to work best for hovering and still not overheat the power system.

I do not miss the grease, noise complaints, crankers cramp, rubber bands, engine adjustments, fuel on my fingers, of the good old days. I fly at a vacant field close to my house and at the club field 10 miles away and it makes my very happy.

The extra effort in your products has paid off.

Keep up the good work and I wish you very much success,

John K Dow

I have an addiction, and that's flying the aptly named PA "Addiction". 3D for begginers, you bet!

It makes me look way better than I am, bringing her in on a Harrier and landing gently tail wheel first. I've tried other ARFs and there is nothing like the PA models.

The build quality was stunning and the attention to detail was high. How they manage to trim down the weight and keep it so strong is amazing. Its been said but let me confirm, these are a work of art.

thanks PA for making RC Flying brilliant!

cheers
Trev

My first PA plane was the green Addiction. I was immediatly impressed with the complete-ness of the Addiction. It went together without any problems. It has been a "rock solid" flyer from the very first flight. I hope to put another PA plane in my hanger very soon.  Oh and the "reps" for PA here in the USA are a bunch of great "Ambassadors" for the company. I grilled them pretty good, this year at SEFF. Super nice bunch of people. Hercdriver, you're my hero!

Of course I agree with all that's been said about PA's excellent Quality, performance, ease of build, beautiful schemes with personality, straight forward power system, the beautiful stylish carbon, Durability against crashes, build mistakes, redo's, and especially their so friendly customer support that is indeed second to none.

I have a long story with my lovely red Addiction ... but to make it short. it was my 1st ever trainer fixed wing after few hours on the sim ,....yes you heard me a trainer that is so forgiving in the air and give you all the time you need to think and correct your stick inputs ...maybe manufacturers should reconsider the design of their trainers to make it much more like the addiction.... Have you ever asked yourself why PA doesn't have that high wing , long span traditional plane with a trainer as its name..... ....then after a few packs it became my 1st ever 3D trainer, and from that moment it became my eyes in the sky flying side by side with the big birds and crows .. I just can't forget how much joy I've felt when I fly in circles with some big crows that were so curious about that big red beautiful bird in the sky .. just as the people on the ground staring and gazing at that red beauty slowing to a crawl flying high Alpha inches from the ground ....Wow I just love PA ... love my Red Addiction .. it was worth all the efforts I've exerted to release it from the customs .. yes I've spent the night in Cairo and finally got it released ... I suppose they were so envious at the customs and required an official approval from the ministry of aviation to release it and I've done it ......

Gentlemen I'm happy to report that PA Addiction was treated as a full size plane by high ranking officers "Generals" at the ministry if aviation ....and it surely deserves it

Sorry the story got too long but, one last thing ... I really wish that my X-BL Quadrocopter, my T-REX 450, and all of my Ornithopters were made and supported by PA... it would really have been much much more fun

Thank you Adad , Thank you Shaun, Thank you PA. Please do consider adding helicopters and Quadrocopters to your expanding future plans ....You will save millions ...I assure you

I heard her voice over the PA.

It was a soft, humming tone that seemed to draw me in. A whisper of sorts, not like the loud whining that I've heard so often before.

It was beyond the normal chemical attraction... Almost to the point of electric. Our polarities seemed to be a perfect match.

I searched and searched to find out more about this mysterious woman who's voice was haunting me. I couldn't find her. Who could I ask?

There was only one place left to go: The Oracle.

I looked into the window of the oracle and entered upon the interface the words of my mysterious Addiction. Upon submission of my inquiry, the windows of cyberspace were opened.

She appeared upon these reflections in her many different colors. What was I to choose as they were all so beautiful? What was the color of my desire?

She laid silent in her pure form with lines and contours that dressed her tightly. Her inner beauty was immediately appealing as they laid transparent to the world. She called to me. Wanting and Addicting. What was this attraction? Was it a positive one? Negative? Maybe both? It was electric!

From her still and silent beauty she gave motion. Her beautiful lines gave way to elegant movements. It was a dance. If only I could have a partner so willing, so precise, so beautiful. With her anything was possible.

I must bring her to me.

I called to her through the same PA where this story began.

She was there. Would she come to me?

I waited.

Upon my doorstep she appeared.

We spoke.

We danced.

She was everything I thought she'd be... Even more. I felt like I was cheating, but was I? Shouldn't I be able to partake of these feelings and give-in to these desires?

It's an Addiction that I can never let go.

Thanks for sending the purple kit
 
Test flew today and I am wrapt, what a little hunny

I got this plane in may 2009, a local hobbist reconmended this plane as my first 3D plane. I really like it and it has great proformances, it's a blast to fly. Every flight always has something new to it, it would do a cool trick and i would go back and try to figure out how i did it on the transmitter.
I give this plane a 5 star!!!

my wife bought me one of your addiction 3d arf kits for my b-day and i just wanted to say that is one bada!! little airplane it does everything you can think of and more.

I have never seen or flown, anything quite like the addiction. The quality of construction is second to none. When I first opened the box I found myself just gazing at it for ages. I remember thinking, ‘it doesn’t get any better than this’. And then I flew it. Feels almost like an extension of thought, I think it, Addy does it! Absolutely marvellous. I am a PA convert. Congratulations to the team for producing such superb models. Look out Ultimate AMR, you’re next!
 
Regards,
 
Paul Goodwin

I purchased the Addiction from you and it ism a very fun airplane to fly. It is very stable and has no hidden faults. Its design would allow a intermediate skilled pilot to have hours of fun. I am now trying to convince myself to purchase the bi-plane

I have recently purchase your Addiction & was very impressed with the kit & your power system runs very cool & quiet looking forward to my next plane thanks PA.

Took the addiction out for the first time after about 4 hours bench time. Pulled up into a hover 10 feet off the ground...ROCK SOLID! Loops are as tight as you want them to be, I sware one time the tail hit the nose in a tight loop! Hover landed this beast the first flight, have only made 2 landings of this type before. AWESOME, ROCK SOLID, aerobatic machine! This plane is teaching me alot about 3D. Thanks, Jeff Atkins

I just come back from having the first flight was out at 6.30am the model is just
unreal very well designed bit nose heavy on the rear cg setting but flew
great. Looking forward to taking it out later to day, great model. Then i
will alter the cg and crank it up FUN TIME.

its almost one year ago i orderd the the addiction...

maybe you can remember, you gave me  a green one, but at the end u arranged that i could pickup a red one by a local

dealer in the netherlands! wich was great!

the website and the plane was right, i learned to hover in no time! i was not a very exprienced flyer.

but with the addiction it was very easy, i made all the guys suprised at the club! a hover 10 inches away from me!

everbody was sceptic about the plane, they still do, but the carbon frame and the setup makes me laugh.

cus they are strugling with there own made setup's and me i dont think about anything i just fly.

unfornantly... the addiction was a goal for me to pratcise 3D when i reached my goal wich was fast.

(of course i broke it sometimes but was easy to fix still looks brandnew!)

i put him in the corner and stopped but i had a great time! maybe in the future i will pick it up again who knows!

i want to share this story with you! thx for building this great plane!

regards werner from the Netherlands
