    48" Extra 300 EXP

    I understand, no problem, I do run with the timer on my DX8 but that is an average and if I fly hard then the flight time shortens. I normally only fly my Lipos correctly. I have been flying RC for close to 30 years and only been flying electrics for the last couple of years. I listen to peoples...

    48" and 78" Extra 300

    Well I cant help much in the motor/esc selection on anything that big but you cant go wrong with the Savox servos, I am extremely happy with mine in my 91". I run Hitec HS-5245's all the way around in my 60" EXP's and I am very happy with them so either Hitec or Savox would work good in my...

    Extreme Flight 91" Extra EXP Build Log

    I finished the build of this airframe today. Yes SnowDog I did add a loop to the vent line as you suggested. I ran the EME 70 yesterday for one tank full and after warm up and adjusting the mixture on the top end and low end the engine runs great. It likes to idle around 1350 rpm and top end...

    Cool! Yeah I just started the engine for the first time today, very happy with EME engines, anyway I saw you had the 700 trex, I had one of those with the flybarless system, Icon controller and all, I did enjoy it a lot, just didnt enjoy spending 130.00 to 180.00 on main blades alone lol. I am...

    Extreme Flight 91" Extra EXP Build Log

    Getting close now, I installed the mufflers, ignition module and switch, then I cut out all the cut outs for the canister tunnel and installed the cover. I then installed the Fromco switch, servo extensions for the elevators, attached power expander and receiver in place, cut the cowl. I...

    Extreme Flight 91" Extra EXP Build Log

    Thanks SnowDog!!! The next step was to install the engine. The engine comes with a stick on template that had a circle and cross hair for proper alignment on the firewall, I took a ruler and extended the cross hairs to run the length and width of the template which made it much easier to get...

    Extreme Flight 91" Extra EXP Build Log

    The main gear, wheels and wheel pants are now on and set. Pretty straight forward install, only note is that the gear can be put on backwards, the main gear goes on so that the straight side is forward.

    Extreme Flight 91" Extra EXP Build Log

    So now lets talk about the tail wheel. I chose to install the rudder before tail wheel assembly and the instructions want you to install the tail wheel first. I am glad I did it this way because it makes the rudder a straight forward install and you mainly pay attention to the hinges and the...

    Extreme Flight 91" Extra EXP Build Log

    Ok so I decided that I am going to open up the canister tunnel for venting air through the cowl so I can keep the cowl without the large openings for venting. I will be putting baffles in the cowl to direct airflow past the fins then the air will flow through the tunnel and exit the bottom of...

I have the wings and stabs all set with the initial throws and wow are they impressive! The Savox 1270 is very fast, and center very well. I have the system set...
