Hmm. I have a cub that I want to sell with hitec 985mg's eflite power 160 and CC HV ESC running 10s-5000

Those servos would work in a 78" mxs, right?

How bout the batteries?

Does EF do preorders?

You betcha

How bout the batteries?

I used 8s-4000 on a 70" Slick, so 10s-5000 doesn't sound unreasonable...

Does EF do preorders?

Nope
But the good news is the electric version is releasing before the gas.

 

[Cmala]

Any word on ETA for 78 mxs?

Chris Hinson discusses it some during this podcast: http://www.3drcforums.com/showthread.php?1101-January-2013-Podcast

IRRC the electric will be here late summer?

 

[Cmala]

So there are different versions for electric and gas?

Was thinking of electric and then moving to gas. Possibly the 40cc twin.

Hmm. Back to the thinking board

yes, but you could always buy the gas one and then just run electric. The EF gas planes are nice because they still have a quick release hatch pin. They just use two of em. So battery changes are still quite easy on it.

+1. With the standoffs you make you'll have no problem throwing an electric motor on a gas version. It'll be a touch heavier i believe but it gives you options.
The 78'' Extra is such an awesome plane. I got to fly mine today in 20MPH wind and it tracked so great through it. Doing backward rolling harriers was fun too
I can't wait for more 78'' planes to come out, it's a GREAT size. Please more 78'' planes! I know the MXS is coming but i want more :flyer: :ecstatic:
Seriously though, i'll definitely be getting a 78'' MXS :thumbup:

Guys, just on the return leg of a road trip to DA Aus to pick up a car load of EXP's.

A 91" extra, 2 x 88" edge EXP's and 64" MXS plus DA60 for the big extra.

Doesn't look like much, but she's all packed in nice and secure for the 1500km trip back to base to begin the assembly on the weekend.

The second 88" edge is for a mate in Melbourne.

As work is paying for the road trip (business as well as pleasure) this saved me around $950 in freight for all that gear!

Shoot, that's a chunk of change you saved Rog! Aside from the DA in the 91, how are you going to outfit the planes?
