Here is a plane I built over the winter, My friend gave me the wings that were left after the crash of his 3D hobbyshop Extra 300 shp and said see what you can make. Here it is a balsa /foam board hybrid Extra 300s.

Nice one:) She looked very light on take off? Is that hard to manoeuvre?

I was amazed at how light this bird is being 45 inches long and 45 inches in wingspan. with a 2200 3s battery in her, she is just 44 oz.
It is really easy to maneuver around but you really need to dial the rates down and add a lot of expo because the control surfaces are large. I have it set to be more sport flying than any 3D flight.
here is a picture of me holding it for size comparison.
