    78'' Extra

    Got to fly the OS today. What a GREAT engine! As far as raw power the EME inched ahead for sure, it's only really noticeable when i pull straight up out of a hover. The throttle response is soooo amazing though! It makes 3D much easier and i was down on the deck on the 3rd flight with more...

    78'' Extra

    Here are some pics. Got everything ready to drop in. I might be picking up my custom standoffs from Steve on Tuesday, but hopefully my buddy makes it to the field tomorrow with the bolts i needed so i can fly it.

    Thanks for covering this for people like me who couldn't make it :thumbup:

    78'' Extra

    Yeah it sucks it doesn't come with standoffs but i think that's made up for by the super nice muffler. Very nice looking compared to the stock EME muffler. I'm having Steve T. make me some standoffs.

    78'' Extra

    I was hoping to at least get it running on the stock muffler this weekend but i couldn't find a m5 x 75mm bolt anywhere for my standoffs. I ordered some from microfasteners but those will arrive sometime next week.

    78'' Extra

    Gary bought it off me. I was going to pipe the EME but i was having carb issues and i had no info to help me with the tuned pipe setup on that engine. A lot of people have run the ES pipes on the OS so i have a better starting point and more available info to help me get the pipe set up properly.

    78'' Extra

    I just ordered a ES35G pipe from EScomposites(ES40G and ES30G have been replaced with the ES35G) to go with the new OS 33gt i bought. The setup should be awesome, i can't wait to get it running. This will be my first tuned pipe setup.

    Radio Wars, Part 2

    I haven't had any issues with the size of my A9. I went from a DX6i to the A9. I did hear that people used to have issues with the A9 and not being able to reach from one corner to the other with the sticks but i believe they shortened the stick length since then. I'm looking forward to...

    60" Laser-EXP

    I'm still undecided on which scheme i'll get but it'll most likely be red so i can get a matching 48'' :)

    Radio Wars, Part 2

    My buddy got one of those. Very, very nice transmitter! It doesn't fit in my hands very well though(i have small hands and pinch the sticks)but it works great for my friend(bigger hands and flies thumbs)

    Twisted Hobbys 32" Crack Laser!

    Awesome flying Cody! I love how there is zero coupling in pitch and yaw. You can yank the elevator as hard as you want and it will respond so cleanly without snapping out of it. The aileron response is really crisp too.

    60" Laser-EXP

    DM-4325 motor.

    I would try a 20x8. If all else fails you can sell the 4325 and get a 4330 or 5320. I had a 4330-435 on my Slick on 6s with a 19x8 prop and it had pretty good power. Not like my 60'' electric planes though http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wjeWA7wHK14 I've read that if you want a lot of...

    Extreme Flight Owners Thread

    I might just have to do that. Thanks for the input :thumbup: I guess i could get the 48'' Laser now and the 60'' Laser when it comes out. I saw Daniel Holman fly my buddies 48'' Laser and it definitely looks like an amazing plane. Then again he also made this Hangar 9 Ultra Stick look pretty...

    Extreme Flight Owners Thread

    Wow the cuffs look REALLY nice! I got my Extra before they starting including the cuffs. Nice that they added them without raising the price. I wonder how long it will be before the 60'' Laser gets here. I just sent some HS-7245s to Hitec to be repaired, they were in my MXS when it went through...

    Extreme Flight Owners Thread

    Looks great! They don't come with a landing gear cover. I'm trying to decide on my next EF plane right now. I've got gear for a 60'' already.

    64" mxs exp

    Sounds like youre having fun with the little Slick and MXS. Both those planes fly great. I want a new MXS soo bad but I'm going to try the Laser. If i dont like it as much as the MXS i'll just abuse it until i can get a MXS too. Im pretty certain ill be pleased with the Laser though.

    Article: Member Review: Extreme Flight 48" Yak-EXP

    Your Yak looks great! I didn't even get a chance to get any vinyl on mine before i destroyed it(cold solder joint). I did get a few videos before it's early death though. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iHRT0BGMtXw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oakbksqWSTw The Yak rolls so ridiculously...

    EF Yaks are coming...who wants one?

    Yeah it especially sucked because i was on my final approach to land on my last battery and i planned on switching ESCs before my next time out.
