    Your Package Arrived Smashed!!

    Sorry double post..gotta get my post count up to get off 15cc anyway.. Bigger flys better.. The last prop I ordered from Falcon came USPS in one of those triangle tubes... It was so smashed up I couldn't believe it, the carrier must have been laughing it was so bad, but somehow the prop was...

    Your Package Arrived Smashed!!

    Every giant scale plane I've ordered I have picked up from the terminal rather than letting them make another trip out to my house. I figure saving that last trip is just one less chance for damage and I usually get it a day or two sooner than the scheduled delivery date. It also saves me from...

    Your Package Arrived Smashed!!

    I have had the best luck with the USPS with just about everything. If you ship priority you get it in 3 days max usually and usually* the boxes are in pretty good shape. USPS also seem the cheapest when it comes to smaller items. It totally ticks me off when UPS says "attempted delivery...

    Extreme Flight 104 Extra 300

    Something the guys at my field have been doing, that I have yet to do, but looks pretty awesome on this plane is pin striping the covering, it really makes it pop! On the red I've seen them use gold and silver on the blue scheme. Here is a pic of the red with gold, these are the wings and...

    Extreme Flight 104 Extra 300

    If a anyone is interested I have a set of wings with tube and stock wing bag, a set of stabs with stab tube, and a canopy. The wings have very slight damage where the wheel pants hit extremely easy to fix just a little dent and a scrape all on the bottom. The stabs and canopy look good. All...

    Extreme Flight 104 Extra 300

    I'm using the 3d-printed baffles ghoffman (I think) sells and EF sells. They really make the baffling easy. I used SWB standoffs for the motor. You can use wood standoffs I've just had trouble with them compressing in the past.

    Extreme Flight 104 Extra 300

    Went flying a couple days ago, I like this plane more every time I fly it. I'm getting used to it and knocked some rust my flying skills. The fun part was I have an 11 year old brother-in-law who's really wanting to start flying. He came out and got to hang out at the field for a while, held...

    motor box top plate - ok to use screws or is epoxy a must

    You mention that the plane isn't tied down but it is still pulling through the resistance of the air isn't it? Last time out I was flying on a calm day and did a high speed fly-by and chopped the throttle and the noise of the air coming off the plane was really loud, it's displacing A LOT of...

    35% or larger?

    I'm a huge EF fan but I would stay away from the 42% Extra unless you're strictly looking to do imac. Especially if it's an early version with the pocket hinges. I had one and even did a build thread on it and IMO it couldn't 3D to save its life. Snap and roll start/stops were mushy, rolls...

    Extreme Flight 104 Extra 300

    Thanks! Yeah, I'm really happy with the Falcon 29x9 and the Falcon spinner. I was flying it yesterday and the pullout and up-lines were so hard and fast I was laughing while I was flying. That ductwork you did on yours is amazing! I'm using the 3d printed baffles on mine and put a little...

    Here is my 104, I've had all the big EF planes and I like this one the best! Flew it today and the combo with the DA120 freekin rips! It helps that the weather was perfect today too..
