72" Extra 330SC

[quadracer]

A little weak in the torque department... I wouldn't use anything less than 150 oz/in on 25% planes.

I prefer 7954's on 2s lipo

I will finish mine eventually...

Today's holdup: Australia is seemingly out of electric wood 20x10 and 21x10 propellers.

The closest I have found is mejzlik CF propellers at $70 a pop plus postage.

Super lame.

Hey guys, in searching for a budget minded servo I came across the hitec 5665 and wondered how they would perform in this plane. They are on tower's website for $46.99.

A little weak. The only way it would possibly work is if you run them on unregulated 2s LiPos. I have Align DS610 (same as Savox 1258TG) in mine. A little bit more expensive, but much more powerful and ridiculously fast.

I'm sure the 5665s will work and the plane will fly OK, but keep in mind that the servos are what defines the "feeling" of the plane. Slow and/or weak servos will give your plane an inexact and "mushy" feeling.

You can find those Align DS610 on the RCG and Helifreak Classifieds for around $40 a piece. Many heli guys take them out unused and change to different servos = their loss, our gain!

-- On another note, I'm going to start fixing the 72" wings today/tomorrow, and hope to fly her again soon. I shouldn't have to do this to a brand new replacement wing, that I had to buy. :cursing:

You have fix your replacement wing? Why?

Because it is 100% identical to the one that failed on the right, and the remaining one on the left. (see pics posted above)

So... in my mind, the right wing failed for no reason within my control, on the 18th flight of a new airplane, flying on the recommended DLE-30 engine.
Since I can tell zero difference between the wing that failed, the wing that remains (and is loose around the wing-tube socket) and the newly purchased wing, I will not feel comfortable flying this airplane without reinforcing the factory wing design.

Off to work I go...

Ok, makes sense, but is it a v2 wing?

I was told that by Noll that the wing I purchased from 3DHS was a "V2" wing. Again, V2, V3, V40, it is no different from the remaining wing on my airplane, and thus, the wing that failed in flight.

I hear ya. I am having this issue with an 87 wing right now
