    The three blade on the Extra is a sexy combo.

    Next up is the air channels for the rear NACA inlets. There is a gap between the NACA scoops and the openings in the firewall, so clear plastic is used to channel the air into the engine compartment. These are cut from plastic boxes and trimmed to fit, with the excess behind the firewall being...

    Nose gear is next. Here you can see how the non-scale double struts sit outside the scale fairing. My plan for this is to paint the exposed struts primer grey, and the part sitting on the wheel pant will be white. Grey should disappear nicely at distance so the nosegear doesn't look too busy...

    Scale Experimental Aircraft Models 80" Velocity XL

    Flipping the servo on the second rudder did the trick. No more binding, so now both wings are flight ready and it's time for mocking up the landing gear. The main gear pants have recessed areas for the gear, and the main gear required some trimming at the ends to get the proper angle. With...

    Stock setup on all my stuff. I do pin the firewalls with self tapping screws but that's it.

    Nall is on my list for next year. Will be bidding vacation for the week, which would get me plenty of time to make it out there. I could possibly go this year in the form of airlining out, but if I'm going to do Nall, I'm going to do it right by driving out with my planes. Hopefully with some...

    Thanks, these are some of my favorites of the many that I've collected. New baby last summer meant I didn't get to do any flying, but things are looking better this year. These are wonderful airplanes, with the big Extra being my favorite of the bunch. How I would love to pull the 150 out of...

    Lipo Rx Pack

    All my big stuff uses Fromeco 2600 or 5200 Li-Ions, regulated, as receiver packs. I just ordered a Turnigy 2S 1800 rx pack from HK to try out in a 30cc electric Edge, so we'll see how that goes. Figured a single 2600 Li-Ion might not have enough amp punch for the 8411 and 8611 servos.

    Favorite connectors

    I use Deans Ultra on lots of my stuff (mostly 3S) but am switching to EC5 on the bigger (5/6S) equipment.

    Finishing up the rudder servo installations. I tweaked the servo saver setup on my first rudder, and it seems to work well now, so I decided to do the same on the second rudder. The pics give you an idea of how they work. The geometry on the control setup is not very good, and there have been...

    That is a very nice scheme, Len! Probably a bit intricate for my paint skills unfortunately. At this point I might just use the supplied decals - really don't want this sitting on the bench for too long. We'll see though. Not much progress during the last week. I took on some...
