    Discussion Long term planning: Getting into gas

    My first gasser was a EG 88" Raven. I did have lots of help around me, but the gasser is no more complicated that glow. The easiest to build, tune, and fly plane I have is my 105" Hangar 9 Extra 300 with DA-120. The thing was designed around that motor and it literally just bolted on. Very...

    Help me choose!

    I have a 74" Edge on the way and I have owned all 3 of the other ones. I did not really like the 72" compared to the 71", but that is a personal choice as others prefer the Extra. I love, love the Velox and I'll be doing a 70" over the winter. It works better on a 20cc class motor and is a...

    74" Edge 540

    I bought a used one that is on Greyhound on it's way here. I'll be putting in my Mintor 38 on proflow. I have not gotten my Edge fix this season since I sold my 60" EF.

    103" Extra 330SC Building, Flying, and Questions

    The 7955s will be adequate, but not stellar, even on 2S lipo. We have had issues with 7950s and jitter up here. I know they are on the expensive side, but Futaba BLS-157s are the servo to beat. 600+ oz in of torque and Brushless. You can get them around $145 new from tower with some codes...

    Extreme Flight Owners Thread

    I have the Sunnysky 800kv in my MXS and I have proped down to a APC 13x6.5. I tried a Xoar 14x7 and the 13x6.5" was actually nicer. I had one of the sponsored pilots fly it on both props and he told me the smaller APC was better as well. I just finally got to liking my MXS after adjusting my...

    unique gasser parts list: Motor Throttle servo (HS-5665MH for hitec peeps, I have had bad luck with 5495BH and 5496MH) Throttle pushrod, golden rod for pull throttles, something solid for pushers, try to avoid metal on metal in the setup for vibration Standoffs for some motors (DLE...

    At that price point, why ask. Get a DA-60.

    At the moment I have 3 flightworthy slicks, an 89 on DA60 w/RE2, a 71 with a Mintor 38, and a Crimson Bovine 51 I got from the last garage sale on a Motrolfly. I have sold one (the 59 is not the same, it is a extra in slick's clothing) and managed to kill 2 electric 71s. I drew the line at the...

    3DHS 126 AJ Slick

    I have them in my H9 Extra. They are real nice. I did the two different lengths and used a short and long on each side opposite so I can't hook them up backwards. The two shorts won't reach each other. I'll try to snap a pict next time I have it out.

    I just listened to the ATTF podcast this morning on the way to work at o'dark early. Nice to see some familiar names. I started in the hobby 4 years ago and did mainly float flying the first two years as I lived on a nice body of water with a dock in the back yard. Then one day I found ATTF...

    Need recommendation for 3d EPP foamie

    I started with the 33" 3DHS Extra, then went to the 38" Slick, and now I fly a Twisted Crack Yak and Crack Pitts. In the last month my hovering and high alpha stuff has gotten so much better on my bigger planes because of flying these two everyday. The Pitts flies slower and I find a little...

    Discussion Long term planning: Getting into gas

    I've fit my 71 Slick into my Mercury Milan with the front seat down. The Velox will fit in the backseat with no issue. With my noise issues I am leaning towards re-motoring the 71 with the OS GT33. On another forum 92db was reported with a wood prop in the 20x6 range. With a carbon I hope 90...

    Discussion Long term planning: Getting into gas

    My 38 is a absolute beast. It turns a Mejzlik 20x7 at 7600 RPM. We are looking at putting in a Bowman ring, which will just make it have even more compression. It is also VERY loud. 100+db. The second motor that ended up with my buddy has no compression (stuck ring) and needs to be sent...

    Discussion Long term planning: Getting into gas

    I own a 68 Velox on a Mintor 22, a 71 Slick on a Mintor 38, and a 89 Slick on a DA60 with RE2. I just went though helping out a buddy get his stuff for his first gasser, which will be a 30cc Aeroworks Extra 260 Freestyle. He asked around a lot within the club and most of us tried to steer him...
