    Peak Models 32% Extra 330 SC

    Well did not get as much done as I would have liked but a certain toy had me playing electronics technician. The transmitter that came with the Hex-copter would not work and the 6 AA batteries I had put in it got hotter than hell. Found the 3volts out to the OSD connection shorted on the...

    EF Edge 74"

    It was just a day ago when all was good and expectation filled the air and then I see this! That just hurts. Can you get it to Terry??? He can fix that in his sleep!

    Hey!......... they have been machined to .0000000001 tolerance!!!:laughing:. Actually Rob the fit is quite snug but I do have a set screw that captures the bottom baffle plate to prevent the thing from being puked out lol.

    Peak Models 32% Extra 330 SC

    Started putting in the radio.....Battery and XT60 connector housings should be here tomorrow. Not a lot left to do. Hoping to run the engine for the first time this weekend. I made the receiver tray / holder removable. Got quite a bit of the wire loom left so I will make use of it for servo wire...

    ZDZ180B2-J champion

    Very Nice! I have seen these with Moki 250 radials and weight was around 54 pounds and flew awesome scale aerobatics. I'm sure the ZDZ 180 will "open" the flight envelope! Just a tad:rolleyes:.

    Aeroplus rc and pro-rc

    That's a good looking plane. What he got under the hood?

    Engine Bogs in High Alpha

    Let us know if it helps. The biggest part is getting it tuned like Terry recommended. Like the DA 120.....I'm thinking tuning will be a bit easier once it is fully broke in. As these engines do get close to the break in point the low end usually richens a bit requiring a re- tune. Just FWIW when...

    Pilot RC 122" Extra 330SC

    Not to interrupt the thread Joe.......just FWIW.........Seems the Hi-Tech's have some quality microprocessors on their boards and as @Xpress said very powerful motors. And obviously it shows in the price point. But.......I believe a good servo can tell you if you got really good processor chip...

    Great choice Mike. When I purchased this engine from @stangflyer It came with J'tecs. Silly ol me sold em to some one here on GSN. I just got to wrapped up in the 2n1 and large pro flo. Silly ol me.

    John van Gastel - Blurred Lines

    Boy I got to get out more often. Bipe Porn blinded me. Did not even "see" to read this thread until now. And it's back to the shower..........

    Peak Models 32% Extra 330 SC

    Don't know if it's going to choke the flow or be sweet???? It will definitely lower the db's. With no baffling I seriously doubt that I could get a decent tune on the engine. There is no secret formulae or method to this madness. This is nothing more than experience and trial and error. I for...

    Peak Models 32% Extra 330 SC

    Yea......This plane would be best set up with in cowls if choosing a twin cylinder engine. As a matter of fact If this (header muffler) ends up being a flop that is what I am going to do. I do have a "gut" feeling that this is going to work! I have already started making a "baffle insert". Will...

    Peak Models 32% Extra 330 SC

    Not yet and yes I think it is going to be loud too! I do have an idea for adding 3 or four half circle baffles which get off set from each other. It is going to be trial and error:dancing-chicken:. Earl this plane was designed to accept a can or pipe for 55/60cc class motors only (single...

    Pilot RC 122" Extra 330SC

    Really good info here and a great thread. FWIW.......What I would like to see ARF mfg's do is side mount the servos inside the wing. Single or multiple servos.

    Oh!......Nall contribution for above. And FWIW..... If back pressure is an issue then I can experiment with some inserts in to the Teflon coupler.

    Hopeful that the elbow will allow enough. If not......:steamer:. Cant get a large pro flo in this plane. So this is plan B.

    Pilot RC 122" Extra 330SC

    LoL neither did I until I put the EF 104 together. This may help if the Aileron has a taper to it across its length going outwards. Helps compensate for the aileron being thicker at the inboard side and thinner at the outboard side. Now that I'm confused... understand??? Any way that's how it...
