    Pilot RC 107" Extra 330SC

    Here's the graphics concept I came up with: And, the proof sheet Nolasco from p1hobbies sent me. Graphics supposed to show up tomorrow.

    Pilot RC 107" Extra 330SC

    For the 107" I sent my two props back and picked up a Mejzlik 29x10S on your suggestion. :)

    Pilot RC 107" Extra 330SC

    I've always liked red, white, and blue planes the best. The plane went together real fast at the field... everything fits really nice on this one. No maiden though... engine would not run. Just wasn't priming. After an hour of effort I got it to run for 3 or seconds a few times... with the...

    @Terryscustom made that up for me. :)

    I tidy'd up the wires, and added a 3rd rudder servo.

    Pilot RC 107" Extra 330SC

    Yeah, I was thinking about doing it on my last Extra because the cylinder is so close to the top of the cowl. Then I flew @JBenson 's DA-200 plane that turns out to have no baffling at all. :O It runs nice and cool with just intake air from the top of the cowl pointed down to the back of the...

    Pilot RC 107" Extra 330SC

    I took a page from @Terryscustom 's Viper and put vents on the top of the cowl. But, I think they should intake, not exhaust. I want to force that cold air over the backs of the cylinders and out the bottom exits. I know foam is all the rage now... but I'm pretty happy with this quick and easy...

    Pilot RC 107" Extra 330SC

    I flew Nolasco's at my event and was super impressed. Yeah, I noticed my DLE plug was falling apart so I swapped them out for NGKs. :) The motor comes with wire safety keepers, plastic protective spiral wrap, and mufflers. Since I got back in July I've run DA and 3W... now DLE... hoping to try a...

    Still not done, but getting close... can't wait to take this out for a spin!

    Pilot RC 107" Extra 330SC

    I didn't finish the plane yesterday for a Thursday maiden. I got stymied on the motorbox. Last one worked out perfect drilling the factory template holes on the firewall. This one came out 1/4" low. Took awhile to fix that. Took a shot of my DA-170 head after 65 flights (I did a pretty nice...

    Also PAU is coming out with the Dalton ML for IMAC... so I think that is one reason Herve is going 3D on the other big planes.

    haha Well, when I started this thread I was getting going on the 107. But, Jeff was bored and asked to assemble it (he has another project going now so he's over my 107, haha). Meanwhile I started my second 122 and have been posting pics in this thread out of laziness or something. lol I might...

    Pilot RC 107" Extra 330SC

    Hi thurmma! The Pilot 330SC is fun, fun, fun! That's why I bought 3! haha However, I would be hard pressed to compete in Basic IMAC with it. The wings are thick and the plane is not precise at all. As for the PAU Extra I have not flown one. But, from videos they look much more precise...

    Looks just like a DLE 170. :sneaky:

    Pilot RC 107" Extra 330SC

    I mounted up the stock tailwheel and the main gear. The stock axles are good, but I swapped out to DUBRO and swapped out the set screws in the DUBRO collars to a more robust socket head screw. I used DUBRO 4.5" TL tires instead of the stock tires. And, I set the firewall in place and mounted up...

    That's UltraCote from Horizon. But, @Tavis says this stuff is much cheaper and easier: http://www.orionmotortech.com/accessories.html?cat=29

    I mod'd the rudder tray and covered it. I also covered a little of the pipe tunnel.

    I mounted up the SmartFly EQ-10... and installed the elevator servo extension tube.

    Haha Yeah, @JBenson said if I flew IMAC I'd get beat by 12 year olds. So, I'm over it. haha I was wondering who'd spot the donuts first... figures it would be you! hehe Just out of frame are also pretzels. haha
