Pilot RC 122" Extra 330SC
Seeing it in my shop for a few days got me back into flying after almost a decade. It's a 3 meter Carf SU31 that belongs to a friend. He did a little damage to it and had me do some painting on it over the 4th of July weekend in 2011. After looking at it for awhile I was hooked.- Jetpainter

Pilot RC 122" Extra 330SC
The way the 200 revs like an Italian sports car has it's appeal as well. And who doesn't want to look in his cowl and see this!- Jetpainter

Rotoflow tanks...bunky or bullet proof?
Yeah some guys wouldn't know a negative G if it bit them on the butt, so it doesn't tank a great tank to keep the plane running.- Jetpainter

Peak Models 32% Extra 330 SC
The field is Midwest Air Wing in Pontoon Beach IL. It's just a short drive North East of downtown St. Louis. We have over 110 members and on a nice Sunday you'll see the same 5 guys or less flying.- Jetpainter

Peak Models 32% Extra 330 SC
I love a good 3D flight filmed from the air. One of the guys in our club filmed this one. The pilot of the Aeroworks 35% Extra is Ryan Mowery. There is no sound, but it's still cool. If you look close you can see @pawnshopmike 's advertisement on the bottom of the wing.;) To me the best part...- Jetpainter

Pilot RC 122" Extra 330SC
On my 87" Pilot Edge I balanced in their CG range, but when I flew it it was tail heavy. It would climb pretty good when inverted. Even though I really liked how it flew there I moved the packs forward so it would at least stay level when inverted. There is just something that feels REALLY wrong...- Jetpainter

Post your servo, receiver, and battery setups
I wasn't so lucky. As I was idling around thinking about what I should do it started to rain. I looked down at my now wet and getting wetter new JR 11x radio and I decided I'm going to land no mater what. My buddy Tony ran down to the end of the runway to see how bad the transition between our...- Jetpainter

Anybody know of a lipo powered starter for the larger twin cyl. engines..??
What ever a guy is comfortable with. I hand prop gassers wearing a glove, but I will never hand prop a glow engine other than using the pop the spinner backwards with the finger snapping technique. I've been considering going to a paint roller for gas like Terry and others do. Not only do I...- Jetpainter

Post your servo, receiver, and battery setups
About like having a throttle servo quit at a very fast idle right after takeoff with no kill switch.:msn_slap: Too fast of an idle to land and just enough to fly, with a full tank of fuel. Needless to say now I never leave the ground without a kill switch.- Jetpainter

Pilot RC 122" Extra 330SC
I'm with Terry on the brand thing. While I've never had any real problems with mine, I did recently swap it for a Glacier and the mah per flight dropped by a fair amount in the Trex 550 helicopter it was in. I prefer to run an A123, but the shape of the LiFe fits better.- Jetpainter
