• Optimised linkage geometry to maximize servo efficiency and control authority for aggressive flight.
• Complete ball link hardware on all pushrods.
• Secure hatch latch system, no magnets.
• Clear canopy for a clean, modern look.
• Hinges pre-glued into rudder and ailerons.
• Elevator/stabilizer ready for installation (fully pre-hinged and hinge gap is sealed).
• Motor box reinforcements are pre glued – ready for fast assembling to the fuselage.
• Updated construction with the latest FiberFusion features – lighter, stiffer, and stronger.

You asked, we delivered! The iconic Addiction XL flames color schemes have returned by popular demand!

The best just got better!

New iPAs set up: an even more powerful rear-mounted motor (PA Thrust 60 Revo 24 Poles), precision super torque servos (NXT-200HV) and Factory Pre-installed LEDs!

This tremendous upgrade in the setup expands the ADXL flight envelope and gives it a whole new style of flying never seen before in the Addiction XL.

This phenomenal slow 3D flyer is capable of higher energy maneuvers! The ADXL excels in faster snap rolls, more precise point rolls, high speed knife edge circles and even tighter knife edge spins and blenders.

The Addiction series is the first balsa/built up planes to feature factory pre-installed lights!

The bright-leds are not seen from the outside so the plane can be flown during the day and INTO the night! When your flying-buddies lose sight of their planes and call it a day – you get to keep flying and have the field all for yourself…

Features

• Unique aerodynamic design
• PA most up-to-date innovative FiberFusion techniques – more solid than ever!
• Custom-made new airfoils further expand its flight envelope.
• More powerful iPAs set up – 24 poles Thrust 60 Revo motor (rear mounted with CF X mount) combined with NXT200-HV digital metal gear servos for a completely new level of performance, never seen in the Addiction XL before, allowing much faster flying-speed for high energy and precision flying, without compromising the phenomenal slow 3D capabilities that the ADXL is known for.
• Factory-ready for night flying – extending your flying hours into the best time of the day, when temperature and wind drops.
• Included light harness custom made, pre-soldered and ready to use. 
• New upgraded canopy metal hatch latch.
• New awesome updated color scheme and checkers on bottom wing as so many of our fans requested, for better visibility.

Despite being a 3D plane in every aspect, it is extremely stable and precise – capable of impressive precision aerobatics maneuvers with a feel much like a 150cc airplane.

Being built using finest grade material, all cut by state-of-the-art laser and CNC machines and utilizing the very latest PA FiberFusion® building techniques, the ADXL is incredibly lightweight and rigid. In fact it is by far the lightest fully-constructed plane in its size.

Don’t be misled by the wing span – this model is huge with a wing area of 1,055 sq. inches (similar wing area of most 70” class aerobatic models on the market today).

The size of this plane makes a huge difference in the flying capabilities and flight envelope and especially at its wind handling capability and stability. Of the Addiction series, the XL handles the wind better and is easiest to see due to its size, yet like its smaller siblings – it is extremely rewarding to fly!

iPAs Set Up

The Addiction XL’s lightweight and unique aerodynamic design means its iPAs set up (for ultimate hardcore 3D performance) is an economic Thrust 60 Revo 24 pole/Quantum EVO 80HV combo with two 2200mAh / 2600 mah 3S packs in series, or one PA 6S 2600 pack*. This means you get to fly this massive plane at a very minimal investment compared to other models of its size – then again – there really is nothing like it.
*If you plan on using the factory built-in night lights – use two batteries and not a single 6S for easier set up.

The NXT 200HV super high torque servos are precise and agile, giving you confidence to execute new maneuvers. (They make a real change in the plane’s performance when comparing to the ADXL v1).

Flying

Up until the Addiction XL – when you thought of a 3D dedicated airframe, automatically you would not expect it to track well or perform accurately.

The Addiction XL will surprise you as it tracks better than any other Addiction or other 3D plane of its size. The generous tail section means awesome tail authority and the ADXL advanced aerodynamic design allows you to do incredible elevators, knife edge loops, high alpha knife edge, rock steady harriers, the easiest and most impressive rolling harriers, and yet when you go to low rates, its capable of the most beautiful point rolls, and rolling circles.  The ADXL is even capable of tricks like one roll circles and loops and beautiful slow rolls that you can take to the length of your flying field! Engineered for precision flying, the ADXL is a very neutral airframe – you will find zero coupling and no mixing required for precision flying. No CG adjustment required for switching between precision and 3D flying either!

The ADXL does beautiful fast knife edge circles, and even knife edge elevators and knife edge waterfalls! Things other planes are not capable of.  The flight envelope will keep expanding as you get more and more familiar with the plane, and being a slow flying plane will make new manoeuvers easy to experiment and develop – which guarantees to improve your 3D and precision flying skills.

The ADXL V3 is NOW capable of higher energy maneuvers! The V3 excels in faster snap rolls, more precise point rolls, high speed knife edge circles and even tighter knife edge spins and blenders.

The ADXL power set up is very responsive allowing you to get out of get out of the most difficult situations with ease. This, combined with its predictability and very slow flying capability, makes it a perfect choice for entering into 3D or you can just enjoy it as an accurate sport plane and build your confidence. Yet in the hands of an advanced 3D pilot – the ground is truly the limit!

The word that best describes this plane is FUN and you’ll impress anyone at the flying field because the ADXL makes it look so easy!

We said this before: “3D is challenging and fun, and with the right aircraft it is within the grasp of anyone regardless of experience or flying skill!” The Addiction XL is all about that!
