    Great! PM in the way.

    DLE 35 RA Mods- Reed Valve, Bowman Ring, Single Post prop adapter

    Cody gave me some help tuning up the 35 the other day after another deadstick since changing to synthetic 40:1 mix. On the Xoar 20x6 Lam and the ES 30 CF pipe I'm getting about 8250 rpm with real smooth transition. Still tweaking low and high idle and the throttle curve. Also bouncing between...

    78'' Extra

    The twin is a sweet engine for this plane, people are having great success with it. I wouldn't hold my breath on DA for the ship date. That "two week" ship date has been a floating delay since early spring! Nothing against DA- great engines but believe it when you see one. I went with a DLE...

    60" Extra 300 EXP

    Stock power combo and Hitec 7245 (recommended) are the way to go. I did use a beefier Airtronics on the elevator (don't have the model #, on the road). There are a couple build threads out there Batts- GensAce 3300 25c and Glaciers 3300 30c both in the $60 +\- range are great. Tough finding...

    3DHS Planes Picture Thread

    Same thing for me. I have "attachment" set on photo sharing but no way to select a photo? Tapatalk on iPhone 4S? Is "pro" a purchased app vs " Tapatalk" free? Just read description for pro- $3.99. Optimized for iPhone 5!

    Haha. Maybe "your" 78! I think they will be thrilled flying ten vapor around the gym!

    78'' Extra

    Thanks! i have a new cowl with some more vinyl to put on once i get it all tuned up. With all the off and on i figured id wait. Nice pass man. Never hurts to fly in the rain. As we say at work- free wash! Kind of a drag breaking down thou. Certainly thins the crowd. Haven't started my Laser...

    60" Laser-EXP

    Just opened the box! Will be getting a new fuse for the extra. Debating getting another power combo or using the extra setup for a while in the Laser. Once I debond the tail the rebuild on the extra won't take long. Anyone have a torque V II, Airboss and servos they are just dying to get rid of...

    Extreme Flight Owners Thread

    +1+ on the 78. Will not disappoint. Im about 30 or so flts into mine and loving it more each Flt. Mine was a used one that I rehabbed and it is so clean even after several engine and motors that I haven't had to do any mixing. Partly because I'm too busy enjoying it to stop long enough to tweak...

    60" Laser-EXP

    Well sorry for the BS bandit but thanks for testing the waters and letting us know that these waters are infested. Good luck with another choice. The ones Cody put in look awesome.

    Another 60" Laser-EXP build

    Cool. Thanks. Yeah it was Lonewolf's son. I have the yellow Laser too, haven't started the build yet. Just repaired the MXS, it will crank shaft again! When the heck are we going to get together again? Hopefully soon. Had a deadstick with the 78 the other day. Had idle too low with really hot n...

    60" Laser-EXP

    Matt's were even worse than that. Guess they have some bugs to work out. Any muttering I have had has always stopped with any load on the surface or movement of the control.

    Another 60" Laser-EXP build

    Silly question Cody, Is there a source for Ultracote trim sheets? The only ones I see are the monocote self adhesive sheets (not that great). Or are you stuck getting an entire roll or "borrowing" some strips for sealing from a friend! nudge nudge wink wink!

    DLE 35 RA Mods- Reed Valve, Bowman Ring, Single Post prop adapter

    Switched to Ultra mix at 40:1 with no tuning. Stihl (pun intended lol) ripping the Lam Xoar 20x6. And Hover 20x6. Tried Xoar sword 20x8- too much pitch and too wide. Also the Falcon 20x7, ok but I prefer the Lam Xoar. Still tweaking the throttle curve too. Had one engine failure the other day on...

    60" Extra 300 EXP

    Well found the canopy n cowl. Time to order a fuse. Winter project. Guts going in the Laser I think for now.
