78'' Extra

[AKfreak]

If you has to guess how many degrees of travel is the rudder one way? Also how may degrees of travel do you thin the elevator allows with the linkage maxed out? I am interested in Max Degrees. I am researching various Extras and their throws.

I just went with 80 in the elevator, and 50 on the rudder. Thanks

Mine has 50 in elevator and it cranks and pops just fine. I only have room for 45-46 on the rudder. Ailerons are 50. Have fun with it it's a great airframe!

I've been selling a good many of these. I can't imagine not having one in my 60" planes. I absolutely love them!

Just put one in a jet

It's amazing the difference between having it and not.

Love it

Looks like EF just upgraded the Extra to an EXP with larger elevators and more carbon fiber reinforcement

Improvement on a great design. What a concept! 78 Extra rocks on!

I wonder if the rudder size was increased any? That was probably what I noticed the most as needing more of... it lacked authority/ability in pop tops. I was actually pretty happy with the previous elevator authority. Now if the schemes were updated as well.... maybe to the one used in the 104 and 91 Extra, I would probably have to have one again

I posted this on RCG about the EXP V2 and it only looks like the elevator was increased with other strength and bevel changes.
