    91" Extra 300-EXP ARF

    I'm not going back on what I said. I wanted to give two examples. However, Enterprise is the go to man up here with data. Maybe a new nickname Matt- "Mr. Data"! Anyway, what Matt offers is theoretical and calculated data backed up with practical testing. He's a good man to do all the research...

    91" Extra 300-EXP ARF

    Tony at DA steered me toward the 70 and away from the 85 for this airframe. If going that big a single you may want to beef up the airframe a bit. Especially in the motor mount. Just in case! If you think you "Need" more power check out Jase's video. He's on a 70 w mufflers no can no pipe...

    I'm using the Ply set DA supplied with my can. 2:1 header on DA70. That CF CF VV support looks nice.

    FAA 2014-0396- interpretation of new rule for Model Aircraft

    Absolutely! Lowest common denominator beats out common sense every time unfortunately. We all have to keep educating and being part of the solution.

    FAA 2014-0396- interpretation of new rule for Model Aircraft

    ✈️It took longer than it should have for common sense to hit the pages but it appears it has. For now! Good.

    FAA 2014-0396- interpretation of new rule for Model Aircraft

    It is encouraging but the FAA has always had a problem accomplishing dual roles- promotors and regulators at the same time. The commercial, weight and speed restrictions help keep the hobby enthusiasts out of the argument. If the commercial operators are going to operate in "shared" airspace...

    Oh I know where thanks. Azhar at Aztech. I was looking at opinions on the choice, size, wt, torque, etc sorry I wasn't clear.

    91" Extra 300-EXP ARF

    Debating on Savox 2230/31 for rudder and doing push pull. With DA 70 up front. Rest thinking 2270 /73s for ailerons and elevator with HT 5665 on throttle. HV with 3s and BEC s to a power safe. Silly ? Where do you get the small foam wire keepers?

    Any experience/ tips on fuel/ smoke tanks? For a 91" Extra w/ DA70 I'm looking at a Figi 1 L for fuel with a PSP 3 line. Smoke I'm thinking the Smart Water setup from Aztech. Thinking is being able to squeeze a larger cylinder (smart water) tank for smoke giving me 20oz vs 16 oz. thoughts?

    FAA 2014-0396- interpretation of new rule for Model Aircraft

    Mostly "worse" as we are seeing right now. If we can correctly classify "drone" (damn I said it!) where it belongs- separate from recreational use model aircraft (to include multi rotors) then a popular term can also become a more accurate term hopefully for "better".
