    IMAC Extreme Flight 78" Extra

    Haven't tried it. Headed to Lowes for glue. Not happy with the GG. I tried coating the hinge line with oil to release it, no dice. I am concerned with getting the rudder horns in evenly. Any tips?

    Done. Just like the manual says. Take it apart, make a flat spot with the dremel on the shaft for each set screw and assemble with blue loctite.

    OK, answered my own question. I just had to use the right tool. Quit buying cheap tools!

    Thanks Ortho. I hate epoxy. I may try gorilla glue for the ailerons and rudder using a trick I saw on another thread. Now I'm off to the hardware store for another ball driver. I stripped mine trying to disassemble the tail wheel. I think there may be another step Extreme Flight has done for me...

    This is the first time I have worked with hinge points. I watched the assembly videos on the Extreme Flight website and learned a lot from Chris Jewitt. Like using a reamer to open the first part of the hinge pocket. To oil the hinges, I used an applicator for lubricating fishing reels. Very...

    IMAC Extreme Flight 78" Extra

    Hinged the elevators and installed the control horns. While waiting for glue to dry I installed elevator and rudder servos. I make my own servo extensions, so I made up the female to the servo, installed a keeper, and left a little extra so I can get the length just right. I also learned that it...

    IMAC Extreme Flight 78" Extra

    Hit all the seams with a covering iron. Drilled holes for all the servo mounting screws, installed and removed screws. I used thin CA and hit every wood joint that I could reach starting at the motor box and moving back. Hit the wings, servo mounts, screw holes and the canopy. When I was done...

    Thanks Capt. Roll, I converse with Aeroplayin fairly regular about the 4330. I owe him some data on the 4330-206.

    OK, so I had the plane shipped to a commercial address to save on shipping so I had to pick it up (see photo). I got it home and opened the box, all I can say is WOW. This is my third Extreme Flight plane but again WOW! The following items are already cut out for you: Servo mounts, air exit...

    OK, this is an oldie but goodie, and it is only an ARF, so this should be an assembly thread. I have procrastinated over this plane for going on two years now but today it is out for delivery. I have most of what I need to get it together on 12S. the only part missing are the stands offs that...

    My first Radio was Airtronics in 1990. Saw your sticker on the rudder bottom. Yes, it did turn out nice.

    I am thinking maybe a basic only and keep the birds small. Something to peak the interest and get people involved in a way they don't feel intimidated.

    OK, so at orthobird's suggestion, I will be attending judging school this weekend in Sherman. We had about 5 interested at our club meeting last night and we know of at least two more who would be interested in putting something together. I will quiz Doug this weekend for suggestions. Thanks for...
