New Addiction X V3!
The Addiction X just got a turbo boost! Now featuring a hatch latch, a powerhouse 4s iPAs setup, and TWO dazzling new color schemes!
The new green XR-61T - first flights were a great surprise! It's impressively docile and excels in slow 3D, while still capable of high-energy maneuvers. Check out this video of my first flights to see how quickly I got comfortable and was having tons of fun! - Daniel Dominguez
THE AMR 60 New Version is on the water and we are excited to share it with you!
We decided to take the Ultimate AMR 60 to a whole new level and are proud to introduce new AMR 60 V2
• Two new captivating color schemes (classis schemes available too)!
• Ailerons size increased by more than 30% for even more aggressive 3d performance and enhanced roll rates.
• Multiple construction changes in different areas for a refined production precision, result in a stiffer, stronger, and more precise plane.
• New CF servo arm design, updated control horns and reinforced wing strut promote maximum wing stiffness which leads to better precision and better tracking during high-speed flight!
• Now with maximum response and wing authority, we are pushing the AMR 60 flight envelope even further!
The Ultimate AMR 60 V2 is unquestionably, the most refined and capable biplane on the market!
That’s why they are appropriately called “ADDICTION”. I would NEVER fly RC with out an ADX or ADXL … to fly. I love all rc planes. Flown many since 1972. Even planes from back in the 1950’s. GOTTA GET MY ADDICTION FIX OVER ANY, ABSOLUTELY ANY OTHER RC AIRCRAFT! Tremendous fun from my ADXL since 2017!

Great customer service and I really mean that. True test of a company’s quality is how they react when there are problems. PA ROCKS in that category. Keep up the good work.

I just wanted you guys to know, according to my battery logs I put my 500th flight on my AMR 60 this past Saturday. This is been the most amazing airplane I have ever owned. That says alot considering I started flying at the age of 13 and just had my 46th birthday a few days ago. My 3D skills are at a level I never dreamed that I could attain. To top it of it looks exactly as it did close to two years ago, there’s not so much as a wrinkle in the covering. I’ve changed the prop once, and it was more or less just because I couldn’t get the grass stains off of it. I just wanted to thank you guys for spending the time to develop such a great airplane. Now I just want a bigger one just like it.

I have the Addiction, for about 8 years now, and it’s my favorite of all 45+ planes I own and fly. They fly as good and easy as my EPP planes…well, maybe much better except the foamies I can crash and repair on the ‘fly’! But the foamies and the simulators have made me a safe and experienced pilot and crash only on rare occasion. PA is the best in the business, the support I’ve received from Shaun, Daniel Dominguez, and Adad is always fast with the greatest customer service and they show their appreciation for my business.
Tim D Barnett
The NXT-200HV servos take the XR-61 to a new level of excellence!! Super smooth, powerful and precise.
Thanks again for a great design and aircraft..
Neal Smalley
I hadn’t flown my Addiction XL in a couple of months and took it out to the field this week for several flights. DANG WHAT A GREAT AIRPLANE! I had forgotten how much I love this plane! It’s possibly my favorite plane I have owned in 40 years of flying RC.
Mike Oliver
Thank you for being such a great company. I can say it has been a pleasure doing business with this company.
Travis Mertz
I have been flying model airplanes since 1953. I have just completed my 40th sortie on my Addiction XV2. As I stated before not only is this airplane a work of art it is also an engineering masterpiece. I have explored the flight envelope of this machine and it appears there is nothing that it can’t do. The Addiction V2 is the most honest and maneuverable aircraft I have ever flown. It flew off the bench without a hitch. I highly recommend this aircraft to anyone looking to explore 3D flight. My hat is off to the crew at Precision Aerobatics. Bravo!
Gary Kopecky
I want you to know that I am very proud to have this plane, I feel I am in an elite group of people that fly only the best!
Chris Bonham
Wanted you guys to know that I really enjoy your videos. The aerobatic tricks that your guys do are outstanding and it gives me the motivation I need to achieve aerobatic flying with my planes. Keep up the great work of selling great aircraft for your customers that make them satisfied.
Jordan
Awesome little airplane, it’s like a fine jewel, doesn’t look to be any excess weight anywhere! At first glance, I think the covering job is superior to anything I’ve ever done, superb! Color me impressed!! I can hardly wait to get it flying.
Ruben Pastian
I am totally blown away with the quality of your kits! You didn’t send us some model airplane kits you sent us some classic works of art . I am totally impressed and you can be assured that I will be your best advocate. Thank you for providing us with quality products!
Gary Kopecky
Oh my gosh! The Addy XL is my new favorite plane. I’ve had it out to our field a few times now and, just like I had hoped, it has rekindled my love for 3D flying. It hovers like a dream! Thank you Shaun and Adad for such a superior plane!
Mike Oliver
I put Vox propellers on all electric planes, not just PA 😉
They make everything better. They are lighter, stronger and quieter than anything else I have tried.
William Beecher
I to date have never flown another Bipe of any kind (foam/balsa etc etc) that even remotely comes close to what your 60 Bipe throws down and allows the pilot to truly feel and almost unrealistic sense of security during maneuvers all other bipes would simply not tolerate and often lead to their demise.
Blake Hilson
Just wanted to say thank you…I have receiving the emails that include product info, instructions, and deliver status. I’m so very happy with Precision Aerobatics at this point, you have been extremely pleasant and helpful. I especially like the quality control inspection prior to shipping…that’s great!
Eric Steeves
PA really has the best customer service I have ever had. It is getting tougher and tougher with restrictions and supply chain issues . They still go above and beyond. With a special thanks to Adad, for always helping me out…To Daniel for helping with technique and Shaun for setup. And of course the rest of the PA crew. Cheers…
William Beecher
My Addiction XL has arrived this week. I have unpacked everything and I must say packaging is second to none. Futhermore all parts are in absolutely excellent condition, no warping, no nicks, no dents, no nothing. Just flawless. All parts I have ordered in addition were very carefully placed and taped into the box. Taking such care despite having a huge order backlog to process is nothing short of top notch customer service. I am very proud to have bought a plane of such a great company. Many thanks again to you and the whole team. Can’t wait to start the build and get it in the air.
Robin Gottschalk
I have been in the hobby for nearly 60 years. Having assembled and flown several of your airplanes I have to say that your airplanes are among the highest quality and the best flying planes on the market.
Larry Bresson
Building a PA plane is like building a Ferrari or similar hand build exotic car. Those are not rushed. PA planes come out best when not rushed. What at first appears as lack of quality, is actually just the opposite. Its not a fast build like EF and others. But neither DO those others fly as exact. All of them fly good , but the flying a PA plane is a reward that can only come from super precise fit and finish and great attention to detail. I own several EF and PA. For super precision and ability to slow way down ONLY PA can do that! Heavy has to fly faster to stay up. Some prefer the higher energy of other makes. Some appreciate the feeling of a PA plane, the precision, slow landing speed etc.
David Falgout
I’m a decent sport flyer and a newbie 3D flyer,Flying a PA is as close as you can come to nirvana.
Once I had stick time on the PA it ruined what I thought were enjoyable airplanes!
Darryl Franke
Plane arrived yesterday perfect condition no damage AAA+++ on your packaging looking forward to the build.
Darren Smith
I have Pilot RC and Extreme Flight planes,
I will say your planes are superior to both. Super light and surprisingly more rigid.
The XR 52 is allowing me to learn slow flight 3D much better than the others, which is what lead me to get this AMR 60. I have 23 different planes and EDF’s now. This will not be the last of your models that I get. I will be getting the Addiction XL as soon as it comes back in stock next. Love the look of it and the LEDs will introduce me to night flying.
Chris Maier
Thanks again Shaun for you attention to detail, and creating such amazing planes.
As a mechanical designer myself, I am really impressed by your designs. Well done!
Steve Swensen
I’ve flown my Addiction XL several times now and it is truly the best flying plane I’ve ever owned
Nick Couch
Thanks for all your hard work, awesome designs and thorough manuals.
Timothy Bearup
Just received my Addy XL V2 and I must say I am truly impressed! The difference between this plane and the Addy XL I purchased a couple years back is remarkable! After going over every inch of my V2, I can’t find a sign of a peel anywhere. Drum tight and control surface edges ruler straight! All dry fittings seem to be right on. And I love this White scheme. My other Addy XL is red and blue as my fly”n buddies have red,green,purple,etc. So this one is definitely going to stand out. I’m enjoying this build so much, I may milk it for a couple of weeks until it’s purfect!!!! There is nothing out that flies like an Addy. It does’nt tumble like an Edge or an Extra but then…….let’s see your Edge do this!!!!!!!! So……I’m a happy guy and a PA cust. forever! Good work PA!
Bob Fairrington
Out of all the companies I’ve ordered from in the past Precision Aerobatics has the best customer service. Thanks I’m looking forward to doing more business with you
James Guyton
I have had most of them. Seems like everytime I get a new one that’s the best one.
Ben Rufli
Great customer service. Quick responses and helpful replies. Awesome planes, of course!
J Leonard DeCarlo
Can I take the time to congratulate you on the finest quality and most beautifully constructed kit I have ever received. Everything is better than advertised and it is amazing to see the construction and finish quality with fantastic attention to detail and fitment.
Chris Barton
Thank you for always quickly replying to me. Your customer support is the best I’ve seen.
Dale Hendrickson
Thank you for supporting your product and most of all building such fantastic planes.
I must admit I only fly PA planes now and am truly addicted to my Addiction XL, AMR 60, XR-61, little Addiction and the grab and go EXTRA
Ron Alers
I own the Addiction X. It’s one of the best flying aircraft I’ve owned in 30 years. If I had known how great it was I’d have bought the XL. I must warn you though; after flying a PA model everything else will feel inferior.
Michael Hambrecht
I’ve been flying my Addiction X almost every weekend for almost two years now. I must say that this is the ultimate R/C plane for me. I enjoy flying it tremendously. It’s the most stable, predictable flyer in my fleet. It inspires confidence and handles great in just any weather. The workmanship is exquisite- light, rigid and strong. The design and construction of the model- with balsa, plywood and carbon- is amazingly thought out. Attention has been put into every detail and carful production standards are evident in all aspects. From the packaging, to assembly and setup instructions everything assures successful results. The Precision Aerobatics customer service were responsive and highly professional in answering every question i had. Last but not least- it has it’s own unique style and beautiful looks which will stand out in every flying field. Highly recommended.
Gil Smetana
Your aircraft designs and kits are incredible, compliments never stop at the field on appearance and how well they fly!!!
Can’t wait to see what you create next.
Keep up the good work and thank you so much for all the help..
Neal Smalley
All PA planes are incredible, the issue I have is deciding which one to take out to the field!!!
Neil
I flew nothing but foam for a lot of scale and war birds till I got my first PA plane a xr52 first flight landing was perfect and these planes honestly are easier to fly then any of my foam planes have since bought the xr61 and ultimate thanks PA for building amazing air planes
Chris Flanders
Gotta say that over the 30+ years I’ve been in the hobby, my 48″ PA Extra is arguably the best-flying RC plane I’ve built/owned so far. Zero bad habits, goes exactly where I point it, does exactly what the sticks command, tough as nails, crazy 3:1 thrust-to-weight on a single 3s 2200, with a to-die-for wing-cube-loading! Quite literally, a precision aerobatic aircraft!
Been loving mine for a decade so far & it’s still in perfect condition – even after hundreds of hours in the air!
Joel
It started with an Extra 260 from a friend that decided he was never going to build it. I ordered the IPA power system for it. It was my first balsa kit. That was so much fun I decided to try an Addiction, which is incredibly easy to fly. My 13-year-old son can fly it as well. It is the first plane he can fly totally inverted for long periods of time and without a buddy box. It gets a lot of attention at the clubs and I let other members try it out. Today my Katana 52 is arriving. After that, I plan on an Ultimate 60 and probably will end up with most PA planes eventually.
I like to build them, I love to fly them, and I don’t know how they do the covering, but my other 2 non PA kits I built seem to need ironing all the time. The PA planes look like they did when I took them out of the box. I can’t recommend PA planes enough.
Chad DeQuevedo
The Ultimate AMR 60 is unbelievable, it’s hands down the best flying plane I’ve ever had. I absolutely love everything about my AMR 60 btw, you guys really have something with that one, if anything ever happens to it, it will be replaced immediately.
James McDonald
Everything about your company is wonderful. I have been flying for over 30 years and have never had such a wonderful experience. From your product to the how to video series to the returning emails while you were at Joe Nall. Thank you
Brian Bezayiff
It’s been over 2 months since I got this plane ready to fly. Finally today I was a able to get the maiden and second flight in. What a great airplane! very little trim. Flew like a champ. Best balsa electric I’ve ever had by far. Unbelievable performance on 3s at 7000’ in altitude. Guys that are thinking about this plane: I highly recommend.
Stephen Cubbage
It’s hard to imagine a company being bold enough to call themselves “Precision” Aerobatics. Well you hit it right on the head. My two PA planes (Katana and Bandit) are the finest planes I have ever seen. The Bandit is sexy. When I walk on to the field carrying my Bandit, it’s like walking into a room with a beautiful woman. Sleek, and well put together. My club members actually gather around my Bandit and admire it. All of my future planes will be Precision Aerobatics, because I’m not rich, so I want to put my money into absolute quality.
Jerry Zito
I’ve been in the hobby for 55 years. I very rarely fall in love with my aircraft. The AMR 60 is testing my feelings. It is everything it is said to be and likely much more. You did a hell-of-a job with this fine aircraft! I was compelled to purchase a second…besides I’ll now have the two colors.
Jan Hyde
The addiction x is the best built airframe I have owned and the electronics you guys have put together for it are top notch.
Mike Jordan
I flew in today the xr 61 and was speechless, it was one of the best planes I’ve ever flown in this size, even the addiction I would never give her back, already have 3 of them:)
I hope you’re building a model which goes into the 2 – 3 meter class.
Thank you and you all the way
Nice greetings from Switzerland in Europe.
Pius
Today I maidened the Ultimate AMR 60. Now, thats a whole new ballgame! Wow, what an amazing airplane! The best yet! And the mounting tech of the wings is just amazing. Goes real quick!.
Martin Sputz
Maidened my Addiction X today and she flies beautifully. I’m not a 3d pro by any means but this plane takes almost all the fear out of flying a 3d balsa plane .
She can move So slow and gracefully through the air and landing is a joy .
Great job Precision Aerobatics.
Spazztl
Wait until you try the AMR… It combines the speed, agility and inertia of the 260 with the confidence inspiring stability and obedience of the addiction
Andre Philippe
With PA, you get what you paid for – and then some
Herb Kilian
So many reasons we all love PA! service is top notch, and quite frankly, un-excedable! The planes fly themselves, as well as photo beautifully. And, let us also not forget, the user group is a cut above the rest.
William Beecher
After 5 PA planes, I have nothing but praise for PA. In person (at Joe Nall) and over the phone, service is top notch
David Childress
PA is the best !!!. No one comes close
Charlie Lili
In the world of aerobatic planes, there are two categories : the Precision Aerobatics planes and the others ….
The best electric planes ever! Every new plane keeps getting better and better!
Jerry D
I own 8 Precision Aerobatics planes (two are duplicates), and may be enticed to add the XR 61. There’s no question in my mind, these are the highest quality, best flying electric airplanes available: light, strong where they need to be, and very forgiving. And, they don’t need giant power packs to get the job done. Good job PA! I’d love to see them produce a little larger aircraft.
Jim Robb
I’ve Owned Most PA Planes and All EXTREME FLIGHT EXP Series Planes. This New XR52 Just Feel Intuitive and More Connected than All over 100 ARF’s My Flying Buddy Don and I Have Built and Flown. Over 1/2 ARF’s We Built are Giant Scale 3D Gassers NOT ELECTRICS!!!
The More Flights I Get On My 2 XR52’s The More I Love Them !!! Best of All I Can Carry up too 4 Fully Assembled Ready Fly Planes This Size Inside My 4 X 4 !!! Also the XR52 has Bigger Fuselage That Makes It Way Easier By Far To Change Your Batteries and Keep Flying !!! A MAJOR PLUS +++
Rich Grow
Every thing that I have bought from PA has been of the best quality , Batteries , Motors, speed controllers & the aircraft ! It makes the complete package.
Ken Bird
Excellent customer service and love the planes. From the time I purchased my Katana MX and XR-52, I’ve been impressed with how friendly and quick PA are to respond to my questions. For the customer service alone, PA have won a life long customer..
Kev Allen
There is only one thing I can say..!! they are by far the best planes I have ever flown..!!
Greg Prevette
best planes on the market! Super precise engineering.
Ever Perez
Precision Aerobatic Airplanes have become the performance standard in 3-D model aviation. This is particularly true of the “Addiction” model.
