    Covering questions

    I have been working up the nerve to do a recover job on my 91" extra. The covering isn't too bad but I'm wanting a different scheme. Does someone have a good estimate of how many rolls of Ultracote it would take to do a bird this size? My rough estimate would be five to six 78" rolls. I'm...

    For Sale Parting out AW Freestyle 260 VV40

    I'm parting out my AW Freestyle 260. I've flown this plane for two years and have loved the way it flies. It had a couple of dead stick landings on the first motor (dle35) that ripped the gear out so the landing gear plate got totally replaced and beefed up. If it breaks again the fuse will...

    ES composite pipes

    Good evening, I am looking at picking up a 91" extra with a DA-70 and a set of pipes. My flying tends to be a mix of everything with a lot of hovering and some slow speed stuff. I'm curious how pipes affect the whole rpm range? For 3D will I be happier with stock mufflers? Where's the power and...

    J & J Tailwheel measurement

    Hey I ordered a J & J and while I'm waiting on it I've been working on my plane. I'm looking for overall length of it so I know if I need to install a hard point in the fuse or not. Any help is appreciated. Jonathan

    HS-7954 alternatives

    Good evening to all! I've been going over my AW Freestyle 260 30cc and considering doing a rudder servo update. I'm running a 5585 in it now, but I'm considering a 7954. It gets pretty hard use and I'm running a 2s lips setup so I need high voltage. Is there a different servo I should consider...

    Power expander for 30cc?

    Good morning guys. I've got a 30cc Freestyle 260 running 1 Relion unregulated to HV servos. I'm running it through a JR receiver. My issue is that when move the aileron stick real fast one or the other of the ailerons will stick for just a fraction of a second. I've talked to one of the...

    JR DMSS rpm telemetry

    Hey guys I've got a XG11 that I really love! But is there any way to get rpm data from the rpm lead on an Rcexl ignition module? I suppose it wouldn't work to just plug it into the telemetry hub would it? I would like to use it if at all possible without having to try to install a tach sensor.

    Pulse lipo batteries for rx

    I've recently seen these batteries and wondered if anyone has any experience with them? http://3drchobbies.com/product/pulse-lipo-2550mah-7-4v-rx-ultra-power-series/ I understand that Jace Dussia used these in his plane at XFC right?

He claims that by making your control surfaces thicker and by adding vg's you can improve controllability by up to 50%! Do any of you guys do any of...
