Description
MadBull MAX: 41-Inch EPP Bush and 3D Series
The MadBull MAX builds on the unique flying character and strong following of the original MadBull with a larger, more capable outdoor airframe. Its high-wing configuration and airfoiled wing provide stable and predictable handling, while oversized control surfaces deliver the authority required for aggressive aerobatics and 3D flight.
Massive wheels make takeoffs and landings easy from a variety of surfaces, while the full-flying stabilizer and oversized ailerons allow tight rotations, tumbling maneuvers, hovering, harriers, and knife-edge flight. The result is a versatile model that combines bush-plane personality with the performance of a large 3D monoplane.

LOVE this plane!
I first had the Madbull and absolutely loved it. When they said they were coming out with the Max version I was super excited but worried that it would lose the magic of the smaller Madbull when they scaled it up. I built it and I was BLOWN AWAY! They nailed it. All the floaty-ness but in a bigger, more robust frame that can handle outdoors and just rips. With the surfaces maxed, it loves to tumble and looks amazing in a knife edge spin. It's a high wing, so of course it's not going to be neutral when flying, but that's the real fun and challenge with it. I'm running it on 3s 850mAh which keeps it nice and light. with dozens of planes in the hanger it's hard to have a favorite, but this one is WAY up there!
