    Tips on building SFG's for 75.5" Extra 300

    Thanks for the link and file. I knew they make the rudder more effective, but for correcting wing rock, WOW. I will be making some for mine, no doubt it will bot fly without them. Did you make yours out of one solid piece? I was thinking of making my with stick hardwood like the ones in this...

    New Savox SA-1258TG Servos

    If a person wanted to use Billit servo arms, what tooth fits these. I tried to fit a Futaba Hangar 9 billet arm on one of my Savox SC-1258TG's and lets just say it didn't fit.

    Servos, Servos, Servos ... Which Ones Do you Like and Why.

    Hi Guys I want to talk about Servos and hear your thoughts. I fly all sorts of planes. I fly Indoor F3P (milled depron stuff) and use Diamond 47 and Futaba S3154 and Hitech HS-35HD (for nano stuff). Believe it or not I love the little Solar Digi's from Nitro planes/Hobbie Partz. I fly...

    Tips on building SFG's for 75.5" Extra 300

    Hey there guys. I'm curios what are some of things one needs to consider when building SFG's for an airplane. Obviously I could just copy a known design (like the EF stuff), but without a wind tunnel to test, and the aeronautical background to engineer a set, how do you know how big to build...

    The EXTRA 300 EXT Build Thread

    After many hours of searching and trying to find a big airplane that I can afford, I bought an Extra 300, I call it the EXT edition as in Extreme Turd. I am too embarrassed to even tell you guy much I paid or even tell you who makes it. I am new to 3D, but I try every day to get better. I...

    Your Thoughts on An Electric System for a 73" SU-26

    I ditched the SU-26 in favor of an Extra 300. I didn't buy the Extreme flight, but I did get a EXT (extreme turd) Extra 300. On a serious note, I bought what I could afford. I am still learning to fly 3D, so I cant see my self folding up an Extreme Flight 78" plane. However I wanted a larger...

    To a Splendor to make it more 3D? Tips or advice.

    @ Gyro, I have some 3700 packs. I will try them. I just like the longer flight times with the 5000's But to make it a better 3D plane, I will try the smaller packs and change the prop.

    78'' Extra

    In the Daniel video at 3:15-3:19 what is the name of that move. It looks like he is spinning around the wingtip as the pivot point. I seen other videos of people doing this move, but I just don't know the name or how it's done.

    What 3D Champion Fly's What?

    Can the amount of wing area determine is somthing is going to be good for Post stall flight? I am sue it is a balance between several factors, so how much does wing area with how "floaty" a plane is? I have watched a few videos, and what do you think if this one. He is in post stall and to my...

    What 3D Champion Fly's What?

    A silly title right. When looking for the actual type of plane the top flyers use its hard to find much information in a single place. I am kind of new to this stuff, and I am very interested in what make of plane the top guys are using for 3D. I see a lot of guys fly the Extra. What makes...

    Hello, I was wondering if there are some mods I can make to my splendor to make it more 3D. This thing is so fast on the down line, it covers the airspace quickly. Also is there a better prop I can out on it for better post stall flight. I an hover it, but the prop feels like more of a...
