    The EXTRA 300 EXT Build Thread

    Well I got my Servos today, anf my ESC's yesterday. I have everything except for the 20X8 prop amd the 3" white Spinner. I installed the Gecko 85 in the MXS, and I did program it, but I have a question about the setup. What are your settings? I have it set on Lipo, Auto,6.0 V bec (on the Extra...

    If You Could Build a 3D Air-frame From Scratch What Would You Do and Why?

    After researching and studying 3d planes for weeks and weeks every waking moment, I think I have a good idea of what makes a good 3d plane. I am just curious what you guys would do if given free rein to design your own series of planes for 3d. To me weight is critical. The fuse needs to be...

    If You Could Build a 3D Air-frame From Scratch What Would You Do and Why?

    I am surprised that no one wants to offer their thoughts on this subject. Imagine is Extreme Flight or 3DHS gave you free rein to design and build your dream plane. That would be incredible right? I really would love to hear what you think.

    If You Could Build a 3D Air-frame From Scratch What Would You Do and Why?

    Let me get the obvious stuff out of the way. The plane would be an Extra 300 or a Edge 540. It would have low wing loading and extra large control surfaces. I am interested in what you think it takes to build a 3D monster that's nice and Floaty in Post, yet still has enough penetration at...

    Idea! Cheap 'mega power' power supplies.

    Wow, I am embarrassed to even show my chargers after I saw that rig. Nice, indeed.

    The EXTRA 300 EXT Build Thread

    I bought the plane with no Electrics. After extensive research I went with Motrolfly in both of my current builds. The 4330 216 KV on the Extra and the 4315-480kv on th MSX. The reasons I went with the MF motor are its' Lighter, Runs Cooler, Handles a 16" Prop, has larger diameter and shorter...

    The EXTRA 300 EXT Build Thread

    Hey thanks for the tip. I can always shim the motor if I have to. The obstacle in this case was the cowl was already mounted because this plane is used. It used to run the Torque motor from Extreme Flight. However, when I bought it, the electrics were gone so I installed a MotrolFly motor. I had...

    The EXTRA 300 EXT Build Thread

    Well, I made it 1/16th of an inch and it looks great. I had to make my own standoffs for this one. It was in my 64" MSX that used to have a Torque motor in it, now it has a Motrolfly. Things are getting very close.

    Hey guys, whats the proper Spinner Gap? I have 1/4" and it looks like Arse. I am thinking 1/8 is better, what do you guys set up at?

    The EXTRA 300 EXT Build Thread

    I have a question, there is a tunnel in the bottom of the fuse, I assume this is for a muffler, Drrr. Anyways am I supposed to open the fuse to let air escape on an electric build?

    The EXTRA 300 EXT Build Thread

    I finished my SFG' and mounted them to the wing. I hope they will hold up as 3D flying is kind of violent. I used blind T-Nuts with epoxy to attach them. The actual thickness of the T-Nut flange, spaces the SFG nicely away from the aileron for friction free movement. I might have to make some...

    35CC 3D Plane

    Balance is always the driving force with everything. We all want that ridiculous power, however with the extra power comes the weight. I would prefer a slightly under powered machine that is light weight and floats extremely well in post stall over a heavy plane that penetrates alot and fly's...

    What Determines The Proper Spinner Size?

    I have been researching and have found some varying information. First I hear for an aerodynamically sound spinner it is supposed to be 1/5 the diameter of the prop, then I hear it's all about the size of flat spot the cowl? Also I notice some spinners are short and stout looking, some are...
