    Pilot RC 107" Extra 330SC

    Problems or no... with around 100 flights on my 122" Pilot RC Extras... reality is... these are my favorite planes to fly of all time. :) I'm really tuned in to my new blue one. It even does the 2016 IMAC Unlimited sequence pretty well... with the 2 roll roller from inverted, outside and then...

    Pilot RC 107" Extra 330SC

    My purple 122" Extra has 62 flights on it, and while the rudder and elevator hinges were failing at 5 flights, the aileron hinges were still more or less okay at 62 flights. Not so with my blue 122" Extra. The rudder and elevator hinges also failed quickly, but the aileron hinges failed, as...

    The filter I pulled out of Joe McBride's carb today... he's still flaming out in high G maneuvers, though (after I cleaned it).

    Pilot RC 107" Extra 330SC

    @Jefflesh was over today... we worked on covering his Pilot Extra fuse. I cut out the worn out hinges (there are only four on each elevator half, and they were totally shot after 30 flights) on my new elevators and replaced them with seven Robart hinges. I would like all these planes to come...

    I fly at an awesome field! I put up over a dozen flights yesterday under ideal conditions. Really appreciative. :epic:

    Pilot RC 107" Extra 330SC

    After approximately seven gallons I can safely tell you it is much stronger than any motor I have personally ever run. Start up is fast and easy. First start of the day will be like 8 flips until pop, later starts the same day will be like 4 flips to pop. At that point I just let go of my choke...

    Hey you ZDZ-180 guys... Joe from www.zdzusa.com says he hasn't been able to get the cool muffler gaskets in stock yet, but that he's working on it. I told him to backorder a few for me.

    I agree, I like the Extreme Flight scheme which is similar and has the stars.

    Mat just recovered his Extra in the Joe Hunt scheme... man, I miss that scheme... I want to recover the Sukhoi in that scheme!

    I yanked the cowl to check things over, and it looks exactly like it did after I just assembled it.

    I have around 5-6 gallons of 32-1 Redline through it (on your suggestion). @Tavis likes 40-1 Stihl Ultra from the get go, and he has lots of experience with these motors, but I went with your suggestion because you are www.ZDZUSA.com . haha I'm curious to look at the blow by on the pistons but I...

    So the poptop video showed you how to do your harrier rolls better? Nice. :)

    For me, too, props change things A LOT! At least in terms of how many rotations you can get.

    I think that's it... he's not coming off the aileron and rudder at the end. He had them down for a minute, and then lost the feel. I'll link him that video, that is pretty good. :)

    Pop (haha) Quiz! Why do these inputs not create a poptop?

    I got a new plane! :) Just waiting on a couple of Thunder Power 3s packs for it and it'll take flight!

    I should try to get some "hands off" tork rolling vids. :)

    Thought I'd try some of this protective wrap... it's spring loaded to go on after the fact.

    Pilot RC 107" Extra 330SC

    18 purrrrfect flights on the ZDZ-180... I was hovering yesterday just above idle, stopped my thumbs from moving, told McBride who was standing next to me, to watch my thumbs... no movement for several tork rolls. Now this is on stock mufflers, and everyone knows tune pipes are pipey... but Joe @...
