    Today I was at the VIVA LAS VEGAS IMAC 2014 event. There was a raffle, and my girls bought 10 tickets. We won Five times. (my kid are super lucky). We won 2 Xoar props a 22x8 and a 22x10 (perfect for my DA-50). We won a Jug of Nitro fuel, its cool because I bought 2 COX motors for a control line...

    Twisted Hobbys / RC Factory's Brand New 36" EPP FLASH NG, "Official Build Thread"

    WOW, Jacob I would love to sit down with you for a few hours and go through my radio and learn a few things.

    So you set expo up differently on a Rudder vs Aileron, vs Elevator. I have a lot to learn, I just use flight modes. EG, 65% expo on high rates, 35% expo on mid rates, and 20% expo on Low rates. One switch applys the rate and expo to all control surfaces at once. Boy I have a lot to learn.

    Really Jesky would offer a plane that is lacking in Rudder authority. Maybe it was the setup...hmmmm. I heard they were kick but planes.

    Extreme Flight 76/83" MXS

    There is a boxed tunnel that runs a good length of the fuse. It's boxed off so no air can get in the fuse. I think I will make a plate there and use the diagonal crosses. Basislly all I need to do is measure the two round cowl opening, and double the surface area as an exit. That seems simple...

    Extreme Flight 76/83" MXS

    I wish we lived closer so I could get schooled. Was there any glue residue from the checkers? If so, what do I need to remove it? I like the stripes, but I lice the long rectangle checker look from the bigger EF, and a Hangar 9 35% extra. I have lots of work ahead so it seems. ;? Also do I...

    How do you pull, the checkers? I am not a fan either.

    Extreme Flight 76/83" MXS

    Yeah, Ill fix it. I just need to find the correct covering color. Also its on the bottom. No one but you guys will know its there. Just messing with paper, But what do you think of this? It would look like my 64" MXS kinda.

    Extreme Flight 76/83" MXS

    Well I got the wrinkles off of my fuse, but I had a minor mishap. I burned a hole the size of a pea (plus two baby ones on the side) in the bottom of my right elevator. My wife came in to the garage and started talking, but I had the headphones in. I shut down the heat-gun, popped out the ear...

    Extreme Flight 76/83" MXS

    I set mine up with the servo offset facing forward and the arm 90° to the servo facing upward. the turnbuckle is close to the bottom of the horizontal stab, but it clears it nicely. How are you digging that new Laser? I think they are beautiful, as a matter of fact my first RC plane was a...

    I am not near cam over, I am only at 106% of 150% of available range of motion. Also the arm geometry looks good to me. Btw I assume you crashed on an elevator cam over. Do tell what happened.

    Extreme Flight 76/83" MXS

    I have three rates. On high 100% on dual rates rates and 106% travel adjustment I achieve max deflection (87 ish degrees). Then middle rates, I have dual rate set to 75%, and on low rates I have DR set to 50%.

    Extreme Flight 76/83" MXS

    Elevator servos dialed in, Wow the throws are insane. I might have it move down a hole or two on the servo arm to gain better resolution. At 100% travel! the elevator deflects 86-88 degrees. EXP is right, that is an insane amout of control surface throw. http://youtu.be/cSH5aA4pkSk

    Extreme Flight 76/83" MXS

    It's the cleanest, lightest way I could think of that creates a situation where vacuum can't take place on the vent line. I drilled a hole next to two formers, and used thin CA to soak up into the balsa sheeting. Then I slipped the tube through and hit it with a trough of hot glue and wiped off...
