    78'' Extra

    Thanks guys. One short aside that was an example of how welcoming the NE IMAC region is (only experience I have). The young man doing a noon heli demo was friends with the McCormack boys. He called Fri night to ask "what's this fixed wing IMAC stuff anyway? Can I try? Sure. He went on a sim at...

    Thanks Hone. It was hard controlling myself with my new toy doing the Basic but I managed. Hardest thing- not doing my after takeoff half roll CG check (electric habit I'm trying to break). IMAC doesn't like any out of box Acro! For Ryan's sake I won't repeat how much I'm loving this airframe...

    Woohoo! Came down to one poorly placed spin in the sun in my first flight. Great time, great group of guys and gals, great venue, great plane (thanks Gary! sorry you are "stuck" right! with the 91, if you get bored you know where I am!) and also I had a GREAT caller for the majority of my...

    Thanks. Only loss was one wheel pant. Made a successful one wheel landing and taxi off to grass due to loose wheel. No extra points however! Having fun. Good group of people in our region with IMAC.

    +1! Just home after first day of IMAC. In second place by only 55 pts on a 1000 pt scale! Should get at least 2 more rounds in tomorrow! Having a great time. Still prefer freestyle, 3D and formation Acro but this is another skill to be mastered for sure. Lots of respect for the pilots who do...

    60" Laser-EXP

    + cowl, + canopy, more damage than it looks. It's sitting "cooling off". I'll look and add up in a few days. Does a motor box kit include F1 and batt tray? IMAC this weekend so the 78 will be working out. Thanks for the encouragement thou. Ps- Snow dog it is a 60 Extra

    60" Laser-EXP

    I may be looking at that container too! Best I can tell my Airboss crapped out after a poptop at about 50'. Straight in, nice divot. Wings and CF gear/ pants are all fine if you know anyone.

    Matt doesn't know it yet but I'm sure after the other day he won't be surprised hearing this. When you get that 78 up we need to get an act together! I think it would be very cool. Once I'm all broken in and piped! What do you say? I'm using peer pressure of the forum!!! Don't know about...

    Enterprise and I had a great day, ended with a little carnage but fun while it lasted - up close and personal! - RIP- An unfortunate brush with a tree on base to final! He wasn't as close as it looks through the zoom lense (for all the safety officers looking on!) - Plug!

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

    DLE 35 update- Going strong and reliable after 1 3/4 gallons. I switched to a CF Hover 20x6 and the response was better. It's running a little rich and I plan to tweak just a bit today. I don't want to mess with it too much before the IMAC event this weekend. Starts are very consistent- 1-3...

    Got it but there is definitely a learning curve! Will have to play with it.

    I've used a kids bow n arrow ($15 or so at Dicks) with fishing line tied to arrow. Lob the arrow over the closest branch, pull up some thicker string or light rope then shake the branch. Worked for a TH edge! Good luck. Others have used slingshots with a fishing weight tied to the fishing line...

    Twisted Hobbys Crack Laser, with a few new build tips

    No prob having the servos reversed in the Tx. The wires are polarized (pos and neg) so don't try to flip them. Set them up mechanically as best you can then use your subtrim for final adjustments. Then have fun and learn with a great foamie.

    Extreme Flight Owners Thread

    I love having the 60 and 78 in the car. I throw the 48 MXS in there to to get the real abusive flying out of my system. With the gas I bring 5 6s batts for the 60 and rarely go through more than 3 plus a couple 4 S on the MXS. Much less charging with the gas filling in with 15 min flights. Love it.
