Aeroworks Extra 300-100cc-QB

what was it about the ailerons that killed the servos?

I'd be curious to know as well. as long as they are setup correctly so that the two servos aren't fighting each other then there shouldn't be a problem.

The ailerons are very flimsy. So during higher flight speeds they tend to flutter and it wears at the tip servo. I knew several people that had this plane and they all had servo issues. Everyone of those guys sold their planes. I talked to Rocco about it and he told me of a mod to help with it. I did the aileron mod and it still didnt seem strong enough so I fully sheeted the ailerons. Just the bottom side. Once I did the mod I had to dial down my aileron rates because the ailerons had much more authority. Snaps were much better. Servo life tripled. FYI I always used an amp meter on setup and used the JR balance feature for midtravel.

the important question of course is, now that you've flown it, do you like it?

did you roll inverted at any time during the flight? it's irrelevant actually, yes you're officially a giant scale pilot!

Bart,
Actually I did a couple of outside roll turns and I facsimile of a stall turn

I love the scheme on those. When I bought my first 100cc, that was on my final list of 3. I decided on an edge but I think the extra would have been just as good. Congrats on a great plane.
