    I've been trying to find a Swedish Chef to pilot my 72" Extra, but they're all too big and/or expensive vintage dolls. I would LOVE to have him as my pilot!

    Article: Pilot-RC Yak 54 19% (53")

    Keep in mind that 130F is only something like 20F above the ambient temperature in Vegas that time of the year. I'd expect it to come down a lot cooler on a 70-80F day.

    72" Extra 330SC

    I just started building one! (My birthday present to myself). I was actually looking at the pictures of your setup to try to understand this whole gasser thing. This will be my first gasser!

    3DHS --FLY LOW-- Always OFF TOPIC

    So far so good! I've only had it for two trips to the field and I'm the type of person who likes to ease myself into new plane (a.k.a. a wimp). The only issue to far is a tendency to snap if I'm too rough on the rudder. I think a little more expo will take care of that. One thing is for sure: It...

    Pilot RC 35% (106") Extra 260

    Wait a minute here! I'm a complete noob when it comes to gassers, but isn't powering the ignition through the receiver exactly what you do NOT want to do, since the ignition can create RF noise that can travel into the receiver and do nasty things? I can't see why that would be better. What am I...

    Let me ask you the super obvious question: Have you talked about your link problems to Spektrum support? I've heard they're pretty good! It doesn't hurt to try at least...

    Extreme Flight Owners Thread

    I drive a Volvo (no surprise there) and we have a Buick Enclave SUV. And I gotta say the quality of the Enclave has been amazing so far. Almost five years of hell hauling twins and still in perfect condition.

    72" 3DHS Extra 330 Build Log

    Just started my build. It seems the holes in the carbon struts are too small for the landing gear axle bolt. Did you have to drill yours to fit? [EDIT] Nevermind. Looks like you're supposed to screw it into the CF strut, not slide it through the hole...

    I have a foam glider I sometimes use for aerial photography and video and that thing would ALWAYS lock out on me. Luckily it was slow enough that I always managed to get back control. I thought for sure there was a link problem, so I ripped out the cheap little $5 OrangeRX and put in a genuine...

    Are you absolutely sure you had a lockout? Not trying to doubt your competence here, but about 70% of the cases I've seen where people claimed to have lockouts in any TX, what really happened was that they overheated the ESC, making the built-in BEC either burn up or go into thermal shutdown...

    Inverted Delta

    Here's something I've always wondered about. Maybe someone here knows the answer: Why do aerobatic monoplanes in general and the Edge in particular have inverted delta wings with a fairly straight leading edge that's usually perpendicular to the fuse? What's the aerodynamic reason for this...
