    Extreme Flight 76/83" MXS

    No argument about the scheme for sure. I also don't think it's OK they did it. I just wanted to point out its not the same plane for anyone who was thinking they might save a few bucks.

    Extreme Flight 76/83" MXS

    Doubt performance will be similar. Having the plane in my living room there look to be many differences that'll have a definite impact on how it flies. Looks like they're trying hard to make it look the same though. Probably hoping some people will buy it thinking it's the same but it's not...

    Extreme Flight 76/83" MXS

    I'm going to be picking up a 3 or 4 of the packs and will switch them out as needed. Since there is only 2 screws to hold the canopy it won't be a biggie switching them every few flights. I'm trying to keep it light. Also, since I'm using fromeco relions the next size up is a 5200.

    Extreme Flight 76/83" MXS

    I'm actually still waiting for my packs. I'm going to just use 1 fromeco 2600. I'll probably strap it between the 2 large hole to the right and in front of the fuel tank.

    Thanks man! That event was a lot of fun this year. Hopefully I can get this thing flying soon.

    Extreme Flight 76/83" MXS

    I just realized the da35 ignition has a light on it so as long as you can see it through the cowl you don't necessarily need an external light on the side of your plane(although when night flying the light can come in handy)

    Extreme Flight 76/83" MXS

    Ordered a blue anodized ultimate style spinner for mine today. 3.25" tru turn with lightened backplate. Was going to go carbon but with all the other bling I got on this plane I had to put some aluminum up front.

    Extreme Flight 76/83" MXS

    2" arms are available now. http://store.aztechaeromodels.com/store/ I know he has futaba but check the site if you need hitec or jr he may have those too. I also used a 4.5" arm at the 4" hole for the rudder. I did some one stop shopping for this plane when I was at Azhar's shop. I was like a...

    Extreme Flight 76/83" MXS

    Man I used the short ones on my ailerons! I hope I don't have any issues. I'm using 1.5" arms on the ailerons and 1.75" in the elevators. Haven't got any after market pushrods either. I've been reading about them not being long enough but haven't got to that part. Oh well, it's not like I'll be...

    Thanks! There will probably be a lot of footage of the Slick on the DVD I'm sure. I went through quite a bit of fuel at Monster fest!

    Extreme Flight 76/83" MXS

    The only thing I've seen people mention it was the same as is the mintor 38. I need to get a drill guide or I may just carefully use the prop washer and my drill press.

    Extreme Flight 76/83" MXS

    The one I threw on there was a 3 inch from my 78 extra. I need to buy a new spinner though since the bolt pattern is different. I'm thinking of looking for a 3.5 inch spinner though.

    Extreme Flight 76/83" MXS

    That's an awesome spinner gap. Great tip. My tech aero ibec came today so I just dropped it in really quick. I'm going to need to pick up some of that snake skin/mesh covering for all my wiring.

    Extreme Flight 76/83" MXS

    What a coincidence! I just mounted my motor too :) I'll be taking it back off to drill the firewall for throttle linkage and such though.
