78'' Extra

nice flying as usual Joe!!!!! i love that sound. i can tell you on my 2stroke baja motors a V-stack helped out quite abit. i havent tried one out of the 4strokes ive messed with. i cant wait to get a gasser. hopefully this fall/winter

Thanks a lot. I'm getting used to my plane screaming across the sky. I'm loving gas. I can't wait to get a 50cc plane!

What did the V-stack help with? I need it for the spitting from the carb but i heard it has some performance advantages as well?

Thanks guys. Everyone had finally left the field so it was just me and my buddy there around noon. I was dodging planes left and right early this morning so it was nice to own the runway for a bit while everyone is gone. Gotta say i'm loving the Extra but i'm thinking a good 50cc engine would be sick on this plane. It would be like 60'' electric power :p

Ha ha that's how it always goes...as soon as we get one thing, we want something bigger! Great flying today! I can related to your comments about the crowded field...I have to deal with that quite often.

I met up with Daniel Holman today and he flew the poop out of my Extra. It was really amazing to see. Made it do some things i didn't know it could do :p

I got a few really fun flights in myself :D


Oh yeah, i forgot to film it. Maybe my buddy got the flight on his camera.

He'll be impressed for sure! He's going to have more power on his which is the only thing i would want to improve on my plane. It's a sick plane!

Hey Joe, flying with Daniel must have been a real hoot.

Learn any new tricks?

it really helped with low end power on my stroke engines. not a huge difference but very noticeable.

Looks like someone did get some video of Daniel flying my Extra. It was amazing to see in person. This is the first time he's flown my plane [video=youtube;9LgfE40axmQ]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9LgfE40axmQ&feature=player_embedded[/video]


I got a flight in too but not nearly as exciting [video=youtube;Z5w9BueFK80]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5w9BueFK80[/video]

Sweet Joe,
gotta ask, what did you do to the planes belly? Are you getting ready for a tuned pipe or something?

Daniel makes that bird sing.
