3DHS 48" EPP Extra
Introducing the 3D Hobby Shop 48" EPP Extra!
We debuted this design at the 2011 Holiday Electric Fly and RC Expo in Geneva Ohio this weekend:
The 48" EPP Extra is the first in a new line of aircraft from 3D Hobby Shop. Built at the world's premier EPP production facility, the 48" employs built up EPP foam structure with
- carbon backbone
- carbon wing tube
- removable airfoiled wings
- carbon stiffened wings, fuse and tail
- SFG's
which all combine to give superb flight performance and serious durability.
Recommended setup includes:
This rugged and versatile design is great as your next step up from flat EPP foam planes, a fantastic practice plane, or your go-to hardcore aerobatics plane, with extremely easy 3D and good speed and handling in gusty winds. Available now at 3DHobbyShop.com!

The 3DHS Grand Re-Opening!
We've (mostly) finished the move, and the 3D Hobby Shop online store is open for business!
The entire site has been redesigned and included some brand new products, including the 34" EPP Edge 540:
These are in stock and shipping now!
The EPP 34" Edge 540 is an indoor/outdoor aerobatic aircraft designed for fun, value, durability and high performance. Like our 33" EPP Extra, the 34" Edge can be crashed many times without damage, but the Edge adds a complete landing gear system, additional stiffening, and aerodynamics focused on a wider speed range.
We also now have great new combo items for many of our airframes, including motors, ESCs, and servos. Check them out!
Sneak Peek
As we settle into our new warehouse here in Pennsylvania, we thought we'd give you a sneak peek at the new 3D Hobby Shop biplane, designed by Scott Stoops and currently being flight tested.
It's sized to use the same gear as the 51" Slick, and with a few more changes, will be coming soon from 3DHobbyShop.com!

Jamie Hicks at XFC
Big congrats go out to Jamie Hicks for putting together his entry to the XFC at pretty much the last minute with a 103" Extra 330SC - Check out the video below! He flew it really well, and it was great to see a 3DHS plane competing this year.
