    3dhs 89 slick

    Great maiden. I have to admit I was a much bigger chicken than you when I maidened my 72... I blame it on being my first gasser, though. I absolutely LOVE the "fat" sound that twin is making! Are you coming out to GCA this weekend?

    Awesome tail drags in the snow! You still have that much snow up there? It almost felt like spring last weekend!

    72" Extra 330SC

    Yeah, I was a bit surprised how light it felt. I have a pretty hefty 36cc engine and dual 2300mAh batteries in it and it still felt really light. Good thing both my fields have a lot of runway and airspace for glide slope, because I'll need it before I'm comfortable harrier landing this thing!

    Need help with an ESC

    Excuse me if I'm asking an obvious question, but have you measured the battery voltage as you run it up or tried with another battery?

    3DHS 58" Edge 540

    I keep falling in love with this plane the more I fly it. Although I'm flying it on 4s, it's got TONS of power and does spectacular pop tops and tumbles. Locks in nicely in hover and does perfectly axial KE spins around the wing tube. The Leopard 5055 is humming along nicely and shows no signs...

    72" Extra 330SC

    I finally got her maidened today! So far so good. Took it really easy to break it in and get used to it, but I like what I saw so far. Tracks really straight and stalls like a pussycat. Really, really floaty on landings, which takes some getting used to, but makes for soft landings once you've...

    72" Extra 330SC

    Yay! It fits in my Volvo S60! Good! Then I don't have to negotiate with wifey about using the family SUV every time I go to the field!

    Cool pictures

    This has been my 5-year-old twins' favorite toy for several weeks now! It's nice that their airplane toys are cheap. I don't think it's going to stay that way... :)

    I did it just a few months ago... Gas doesn't taste very good.

    Maybe I'm biased because I have a fond relationship with this plane, but I find that gasser project extremely interesting. I can't wait to see how it pans out!
