    Extreme Flight 104 Extra 300

    Now that I have been flying this plane more and more it has showed me how important it is to balance laterally as well. Need to add about 2oz weight to the right wing tip. I have also noted that the plane has an exceptional glide slope when nose heavy. I want to keep it a little nose heavy but I...

    The "I Need to Vent" thread

    Looking forward to it as well Bart! Planning is key to retirement but I tell you :steamer: can happen to anyone at any given day. Oh ya! When given lemons make lemon aide! I want to shoot who ever quoted that!lol

    Hurry??? What's the big hurry!? :laughing:. I have had every excuse in the book not to have it done yet. Procrastination is an art form! And these planes are art!:p

    The "I Need to Vent" thread

    Here is something that will blow your mind.....I am just the opposite and have been a long time "outcast" from my own ex-wife and kids. My health is poor I'm getting older and totally alone. Now that I am no longer working every day "time" management and "multi-tasking" have a whole new meaning...

    91" Extreme Flight Extra

    I have a close friend who I wish would finally get off his arse and put his 91 into action.......BUT......I can't really complain because it has been a very long time getting my DA70 powered plane into action:deadhorse:.

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    That's funny because a very good friend had his pipe slip out too on his 88" EF Edge. I'm still "dialing in " my EF 104. Lateral balance is way off. Need to add about 2 oz of weight to the right wing tip. Did my first High Alpha KE on the deck with it Wednesday. My friend thought I was being to...

    Peak Models 32% Extra 330 SC

    They are good cut offs. Just did not want to "modify" it to get it to work on this particular plane with my set up. Here is the "mod" if you want to pick up supply power with the receiver connector pig tail (or using the same battery to power the ignition and receiver). Also a pic of the normal...

    Pilot RC 122" Extra 330SC

    I had an issue with the wing tube being "tight" on my Pilot Edge and now on the Peak Model Extra 300sc. In both instances I found it was excess glue getting in the tube sockets at the wing roots and fuse formers. All I did was lightly sand by hand around the ID of the openings to a "snug fit". I...

    Peak Models 32% Extra 330 SC

    Stoked on getting this in the air! Control surface travel is fine and should provide awesome maneuverability! I had mentioned way earlier in the thread that it may be a concern and that the hinges are all pre glued except rudder. I am really liking what I'm seeing with this model.

    Peak Models 32% Extra 330 SC

    The weather has been nice and the next few months ahead is when I do most my flying. We can expect some really nice days with highs in the mid sixties and falling to mid fifties in January and February with some lower temps thrown in but not many or that long of cold days down here. We will get...

    Been side tracked a bit and have not been able to get the remainder done quite yet. So updated to do list...... 1. Mount aileron servos and install horns and hardware. 2. Finish trimming cowl and install a drag baffle and cylinder baffles. 3. Initial programming of the 14sg for flight control...

    piston ring replacement

    Yes. Clean the ring groove in the piston too. Cylinder walls may have some staining / discoloration and I would not worry to much about that because you can easily scratch the surface's. But the top of cylinder and exhaust port typically need cleaning too.

    Just one thing about that......It does not take in to account "Bi-Polar" shift.....:In_love::gnashing: because it is not a "split" cowl :LOL_gif:

Don't know if it will be a plane but something!?!?!?:laughing:Donnie hope you get to "full speed" soon. Sorry for the late response but I pass out sometimes and it is not from alcohol :cautious:.

    Skip Stewart's P3 Revolution, 60cc, Horizon Hobby, NEW!

    That's a real bummer cuz those war-birds aint cheap. Very disappointed as well about the P3. Was seriously thinking on pulling the trigger on it. Hope the issues get resolved and all have resolution.
