    Extreme Flight 104 Extra

    He can do that. My prototype baffles are black. He also has white. Not sure on other colors that are obtainable.

    72" Extra 330SC

    The collet was miserable on my scorpion motor. After a couple similar ejections I sold the motor. No more collets for me.

    Extreme Flight Owners Thread

    The laser is my favorite 60" plane as it just fits me. I have not gotten to fly a 64 MXS yet. 4s might be a bit light as all the lasers I have seen have been 6s 3300. If you run 4s 5000 you have close to the same weight, but you are pushing more amps and probably can't get the watts to have...

    Xfc 2014!

    I noticed at Joe Nall the Hobby King of all people had the best coverage team. They had a small crew and they were out shooting and making content the whole event. I was going to say to check out Higher plane productions, but Fred just announced he is hanging up the hat for his event coverage...

    Aeroworks Freestyle Extra 260 QB-L

    The 15.5 pounds is for the redwing 50cc. My 78 is a VVRC 40 and is 13 pounds. My other planes in this class are 60-70cc and are 18-19 pounds. My point was to compare this tweener plane to a light 50cc as they are close in weight.

    Redwing 50cc slick 540 build log

    Got a decent amount done today. Finished the wings and one stab. Got the engine temporarily mounted and the rudder servo in. I think I am going to replace the pull pull wires with ones from Azhar and as always I will replace the tailwheel with a spring tiller I get from HK. Also got the...

    Redwing 50cc slick 540 build log

    I can be talked into that. I am a pitch hog for sure. Just started mine. Got all the surfaces hinged and horns glued. Noticed the ailerons are a little warped along the hinge line but I did the best I could favoring the outside. I gap seal all my bigger planes so it should be okay as long...

    Redwing 50cc slick 540 build log

    They jitter a lot trying to find center, specifically with pull pull cables. Long standing issue. Hitec says to lower the deadband with the programmer.

    Redwing 50cc slick 540 build log

    Yes they are. I have 2 7950s and 8 7955s and I know the 50s have issues being rudder servos. I need 2 airplanes worth of servos out of these so the 50s go in a pair somewhere. Originally I was going to use my spare BLS157 on rudder but it has to go back to hobby services and that never goes well.

    Same here. I got 1.75" arms. Using 7950s for the ailerons.

    Aeroworks Freestyle Extra 260 QB-L

    The 78 is a tweener. Cody calls it a shrunk down 50cc. All the ones up here are 13 pounds which is heavy for 30cc. Mine has a VVRC-40 and the other 3 have DLE-35s on ES composites pipes. It was designed around 2M pattern 10s power systems. Other have put 50cc motors on them but a 12s 5000 system...

    The Knife Edge Spin

    One trick I have been working on is a combo move where you start with a knife edge loop, at the top of the loop you happen to be in the perfect entry for a knife edge spin, then exit with blender inputs at the point you entered the maneuver.

    Aeroworks Freestyle Extra 260 QB-L

    I have run into this dilemma twice recently trying to use a 6s system in a plane built for gas. The first plane I went with a 12s setup to get the CG correct, but it still flew a bit odd in certain 3D moves with the weight distribution being different than the gas setup. I was using a Hacker...

    30cc / 76" Extra 330

    I gave up and made two access holes on the bottom of the cowl. Same thing on my aerobeez. There I cut them to be air exits like on the bottom of the gasser fuses. We talked to Tim about that design feature and I think he wants that changed.

    3DHS 87" Extra 300 SHP

    If you already have the DLE-55 a ES composites pipe is another choice for more power.

    30cc / 76" Extra 330

    I would say the forward part of the tube based on the trials we had with my electric one.

    Purchased some Silver bling from Azhar that is enroute for my build. Need this one up for my noise sensitive field.

    3DHS 70" Velox

    Other choice is the Hacker A50-14S V3. Same Kv and about 100g lighter and it is a bolt and go solution with the Ebox as the blind nuts are setup for it. This is what I was going to try until I found that gasser. The RCGF is like 2 ounces more than a DLE-20, so a lot lighter than the DLE-30. I...

    Austin Texas 3D Bash

    Someone was making fun of me for shooting sideways. Next bash I hopefully won't be consumed with a project and can take more stills. At another event this weekend, but I just want to fly. Getting my 104 all dialed in.
