    Extreme Flight Owners Thread

    I went farther with Bigfoot and got a GT33 and another airframe to break in the motor. Sadly Biggie was a dissapointment, but the new owner is super happy with it so all is well. I also have a power system that will probably go into a 75" 3DHS Extra when they are available.

    New 30cc Airframe to beat

    If you are set on the DLE-30, for the best results you should stick to some of the lighter 30cc airframes. I sold my EF 70" Extra EXP to a local whom put a 30 on a canister in it and it has no power issues. I have also seen a 3DHS 74" Edge fly well on that motor. I would steer away from the...

    Joe Nall 2015 registration is now open!!! Who's going?

    I have to disagree on the drama. All the sponsored "kids" doing rollers against the flow of traffic trying to create a midair is not what I call fun flying. Everytime I tried to fly after the morning was no fun to me on the 3D line. Pat Hartness came down to talk to us about the chaos and...

    Joe Nall 2015 registration is now open!!! Who's going?

    That depends on what you call "best". If you actually want to fly, the first weekend is the best. The 3D line is uncontrolled chaos after 10am on the weekdays. Great to watch, but not to fly in. I have never seen testoterone in this hobby like sports, except during this time. The electric...

    The 3DRCForums -Discuss Anything Thread-

    With my current 6s battery fetish I need more storage containers. There is a Army surplus that sells them. Don't remember the price. Walmart has them, but you have to buy the ammo in them as well. I line them with foam I get from the female hobby store.

    Realize that the peak days at Nall are Wednesday through Friday. A lot of people drive from far away and stay the week so most leave Saturday.

    Extreme Flight 74" Laser

    Mine went on the left side of the motor box. Only place I could get it to fit other than in the tunnel, but I am using a pipe so that was a no go.

    Everything I have read about the DLE twin says stay away. If you want a 60cc twin go with the DA-70 all day long. It spins 24-25" props on stock and 25-26" on pipes. The PTE-72 has had issues and I would expect it to goto a V2 as the person I sold it to has already had to do a warranty claim...

    If you venture into the bigger EFs you will certainly want a piped setup or the VVRC-40. Then the cost difference is only $100 between the two motors and you can get $45 off that if you buy it at a trade show like Toledo, WRAM, or the AMA show. They give 10% off a package if you buy a prop and...

    If transport is not a issue, then consider getting a 50cc plane. We have 8 of the bigger EF planes up here, and all of them have 7955 or bigger servos, and the cheapest power system is my VVRC-40. The rest either have 35cc motors with $200 ES pipes or 12s electric. One can do the Redwing 50cc...

    I have owned a ton of 30cc airframes including all the 3DHS and EF offerings in this category as well as Pilot-RC, EG and now AJ aircraft. I am personally trending towards electric in this size, but my new 74" Laser with DA-35/ES pipe is going to make a run for the "best" setup as it is just...

    I shipped a 104 Extra, a 110 Yak, and a 60 Edge last season and the shipping was $125 (7 boxes). I just paid the same to ship a 74" Laser and a 60" Yak. We got two shipments before that with a 104 extra and 2x 83 MXSs, all at the same cost. I know for us, RTL charges the same regardless of size.

    I did make a assumption, which was apparently wrong. I know UPS was more expensive to ship to me so I went with freight as well. I believe EF when they say they are charging me what it costs them to ship the planes and I will continue to order from them. I have shipped planes and when I...

    Lovemyxtra is working on one as well for indoor season. He also likes to play around with a VPP system on foamies. Here is a pict of his project he just sent me.

    Joe Nall 2015 registration is now open!!! Who's going?

    I am probably only going for the back end of the week as a spectator. Get a hotel for a couple of nights and a rent a car. Doing SEFF instead this year with dad and the RV. I do get first dibs on the premium camp site so I might change my mind if some other RV opportunity comes around.

    Do not have much time on my xion props. The 24x9 seemed nice. 24x10 bogged the motor it was on down, but it was brand new. If you are after noise reduction the Mejzliks tend to be better than the Falcons. 24x10TH will not disappoint. The only CF props I have been disappointed with are PT gas...

    I run the ES pipe and that baby plain won't fit into any of the other airplanes. These 3 EF planes and the future 74" Edge EXP are the only planes I know of that can accomodate a 30cc tuned pipe as the 3DHS stuff is too short on the fuse and many of the others don't have a tunnel or...

    Those other companies absorb the cost into their pricing. I priced out the Laser box on Fedex and it was even more. Another thing is that some of them use greyhound to ship 50cc stuff which is a whole other deal. I just shipped a 60" yak to AZ and even with my wonderful discount I get from...
