    Help! Extreme Flight Extra 300 advice needed!!

    I've flown the 107" Pilot Extra 330SC with a piped DA85 and a Falcon 27 X 10 and it had very good power. More than enough for pattern style flying. I'm afraid I don't know enough about the performance of the DLE 85 to say if it could do as well. The Hangar 9 33% Sukhoi was a good airplane as...

    Scale Curtiss XP-55 Ascender

    Sounds great Larry! Another thought on your pitch response is that if your using expo, it may need to be dialed back on the elevator because of the gyro. To much expo with a gyro can give a lazy feeling. Just something else to think about. Doug

    GSN GIVE-A-WAY Hangar 9 35% Extra 300X Assembly

    The nylon bolts don't seem to like the blind nuts in the wing. I can screw a 1/4 - 20 right in the hole, but the nylon bolts go in a few turns then stop and start twisting. A few of them work, but I prefer the Secraft ones.

    GSN GIVE-A-WAY Hangar 9 35% Extra 300X Assembly

    I took some time yesterday and assembled the 300X to check the fit of the wings, stabs, and rudder. I worked on putting the rudder on for at least 45 minutes with no luck. The hinges are full of glue. I was able to get the pin through two of the hinges, but that was it.:( I've also decided the...

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    I decided to spend some time outside yesterday before it gets to cold and assemble my scratch build project so I could check out the scheme. I haven't had it together since I painted the wings. While I was at it I put the Hangar 9 Extra 300X together for the first time to see how everything fit.

    Hello from Navy

    Welcome! And nice Cougar in your avatar! My second airplane back in 85 was a used Speeda, a ballistic pattern classic, with a HP .61 Gold Cup and a tuned pipe. People said I was nuts for trying that after a trainer, but it survived, and I've been hooked ever since. I was planning on a Tipo 750...
