57 SC Discussion

[denverjayhawk]

I just completed the build of one of these. Have not maidened it yet. But i'm using a fairly familiar setup:

Motor: 4315 714k Motrofly
Servos: HS 5245 Digital
Batts: 4s 4000 25c Gens
ESC: Ice Lite 100
RX: AR8000 with TM1000 telemetry wired to monitor batt. packs.

Watt tested to 1275watts with APC 15x10e prop.

Cannot wait to maiden it.

You'll love it. The 57 is fantastic, does it all well.

Loving my 57" Extra. Unfortunately I'm waiting on a new motor box because I had the bright idea of trying a full throttle blender that dislodged my battery. But I'll have her back in the air very shortly as my supplies are on their way!

I recently repaired the MB in mine, and Sunday was the first time I'd really wrung it out. Everything held up well, so I'm happy with it. I did a few full-throttle blender-to-KE spins, and a few tumbles that got about 5 rotations! diggity2424 can attest to the wicked tumbles this plane is capable of.

and thanks to Rob from ADC for the great service when I ordered the 57sc. Highly recommend ADC.

Hey Michael,

How does the 57" Extra feel as compared to the Slicks?

Hey Michael,

How does the 57" Extra feel as compared to the Slicks?

That's a tough comparison for me since the largest Slick I have is the 51". In other words, part of what I love about my 57" Extra is the size and stability.

But if I had to compare I'd say that the Slicks are easier to hover, the Extra is easier to harrier and they both tumble like mad. Rollers are about equal and the Extra probably excels more at precision/pattern stuff. All in all, they are both tremendously fun planes and I think they both belong in everyone's hangar as a complimenting pair.

Some flying from this morning. Nothing great but I'm starting to get really comfortable with this plane. I'd say that this and my 51" Slick are my two favorites right now.[video=youtube;ixzVK6s5tRg]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ixzVK6s5tRg&feature=youtu.be[/video]
