    I have been thinking about this. After I get the plane dialed in and comfortable with the engine I want to try a couple things :dancing-chicken:

    3D Big Ailerons

    Yes they are almost scary big when I look at it. I use the 40% Spats. You can get them from Chief. The largest diameter wheel you can use is 4 3/4" 5" will barely fit and may rub.

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    I have never owned myself to one prop manufacture for this reason. Every plane is different and even where you fly is different (altitude ect.) Run what works best I say :peace-out:

    Yes Joe but only on the Extra 300. Soon he will be offering a new baffle system for all is planes. I have a picture some where of new baffles he is now making that can be purchased to fit cowls on different planes. I will try and find it tomorrow and post it.

    I wanted to post some pics of the custom mufflers Joe is selling at ZDZ USA. These are really nice quality and do not require cutting of the cowl on tight planes like extra's etc. These are not garage made. The craftsmanship is beautiful. Strong to say the least also.

    Here is running the new ZDZ today for the first time. It's easy starting. 4 flips pop and choke off with 4 more flips and it's pulling the plane.

    Saved the best for last and finally got around to the wings. The geometry was a bit different than the standard wing. The servo on the end is rotated due to the wing being so thin. The servo wire for the outer servo exits forward of the wing tube so I couldn't use a multi pug for all three...

    For me I have found the smoke to be much better on mufflers than pipes.

    I highly recommend smoke! This was taken by Express's beautiful girlfriend Saturday at the Lodi Huckfest.

    Not as heavy as you might think. I've had mine with pipes and just mufflers for good smoke. Plenty of power with a 176evo. I have a couple of ZDZ's now so I may switch it over and see how it does.

    My friend had the SD model up until a couple weeks ago. It actually flew a bit better than mine I thought so you may be better off:)

    I believe these are the colors. I am not 100% sure as that's a custom scheme. You will have to cross reference the numbers with the colors here http://www.hangar-9.com/Ultracote/ HANU883 HANU872 HANU874 HANU881 I have the same plane and let me tell you, you are going to love it!
