    91" Extra 300-EXP ARF

    Glue and screws are a good idea. I have had zero failures with this plane, all Summer long. Well, not true, the tail gear died, and the rudder cracked when it hit the garage door recently...

    91" Extra 300-EXP ARF

    It comes unattached, but you had better use it.

    91" Extra 300-EXP ARF

    I tried that prop and it fit with the Mej 24-10 cutout. It is best to ask Tru-Turn. Also, I put 2-3 socket head servo screws in the firewall on each side of the motor box. I drilled it first and put the screws in with Gorilla glue. Also in this pic, you can see the hardwood blocks added to the...

    91" Extra 300-EXP ARF

    Good time to go over every glue joint with thin CA and fuel proof all the 'cheap Chinese wood". I used clear Krylon, but there are many ways to skin that cat.

    91" Extra 300-EXP ARF

    I would suggest a Tru-Turn spinner and a Vess balance ring. You will need the nose weight anyway.

    Extreme Flight Owners Thread

    I get asked that all the time. The 91 control surfaces are almost the same size as the 104 and it is of course smaller and lighter. The DA-120 is proportionally more powerful, but now that I have about 150 flights on the DA-60/RE2 it has great power, it is only slightly behind. Clearly the 91...

    I'd love to sell my 104 AJS and put all the components on a 104ish Laser.

    11.5, plus a 1/4 inch gap.

    91" Extra 300-EXP ARF

    I only have about 150 flights on mine with a DA-60/RE2 with the Mej 24-10 and 24-10TH. The 24-10 is slightly quieter than the 24-10TH. It is a great plane, and has supplanted my 104 AJS as the "go to" plane all year. It has been a super combination, and has been very, very reliable all year.

    DLE 35 RA Mods- Reed Valve, Bowman Ring, Single Post prop adapter

    Not! With proper preparation it is a normal thing to "charge, fuel, flip and fly". Notice that the Pratt and Whitney logo does not say most powerful, rather they use "Dependable". That is the biggest thing to me, I need the practice flying, not fixing.

    Which electrical connector do you prefer, and why?

    I have Deans and I will probably convert over to Powerpoles this Winter. Deans have several issues that I have never liked. In any full scale avionics, the solder is supposed to be for electrical connection only. The wire should have a mechanical connection first that does not depend solely on...

    The 91 Extra is great, maybe transfer all the stuff from the 88 to a 91?

    Extreme Flight 104 Extra

    +1 There are 3 of them around here, and I have the 91 EF Extra, great planes.

    How many 7955's are you using per aileron?

    60" Laser-EXP

    There are a bunch of Edge's, Extra's out there, but only one Laser. I'm sure Leo would have painted it in any sponsor's colors, as long as their checks cleared. But many of the full scale schemes would not be good for R/C use. RH's MX is all black and would have poor contrast, and the bottom...

    60" Laser-EXP

    That would be nice! But the Laser should look like Leo's!

    78'' Extra

    I am as big a DA fanboy as much as anyone, but I sold my 78 to Daren because of the ridiculous wait for the DA-35. Now I am stuck with the 91 EF Extra......

    78'' Extra

    I just used the Apple logo as a template to cut out the hole in the firewall.
