Sold my 104 a couple of weeks ago. Looking forward to the new 110.

Liquid sunshine. 3 days of it so far. Dimes lives across the river in Alabama so we share the same weather. Lived in San Diego before here so I know where your coming from.

Yep! Rained real hard last night. Lets hope the weather men called it right for Sunday.
Phil...Is that the new Edge 540T 120cc your waiting for???

I'm really hoping for one of the newly redesigned EF 110" Yaks. The Extra I just sold didn't get flown very much. They're great planes, and I have no really good reason as to WHY, it just seemed to sit in my trailer the majority of the time. A buddy was looking for one RTF so it worked out well for us both. I'm hoping the Yaks are available shortly after the first of the year. Another alternative is the 37.5 Yak. I had one years ago. The good thing is, I'm going with a 150 so it'll fit in either frame.

Got 4 good flights on the 104. End of last flight ended with a blown gear train on the left inboard aileron servo
.
Never really got the chance to challenge the power of the Blue Bird 3114's with my new 14SG before. Looks like I need to put all four servos on their own channels so a better fine tune can be had. I had also swapped out the 2- 3114's for 2-2209's on the rudder and I really liked it. On the deck entry to HAKE was effortless. Made me look as if I new what I was doing lol. Still plenty of power (about 720oz torque) but a little faster response @ .10 transit time. The "double reinforced" carbon landing gearI made performed awesome! No more toe in/out twisting at the axels. With the nice weather change the DA 120 leaned a bit and it was very noticeable on hover pull outs. Still Authoritative but not ballistic as it had been. I also have been flying this plane WAY to tail heavy! (although very manageable in normal flight). Inverted harriers where difficult to manage because the tail wanted to drop down and cause the nose to go straight up in to a hover with just the slightest of down elevator input. Appling a little more power only worsened this condition. Batteries going to get moved all the way forward.

Now that I have been flying this plane more and more it has showed me how important it is to balance laterally as well.
Need to add about 2oz weight to the right wing tip. I have also noted that the plane has an exceptional glide slope when nose heavy. I want to keep it a little nose heavy but I want it to slow down more on landing so more adjusting required. Going with 360ozin servos on the ailerons and rudder is great and the faster transit time really is not noticed (.10 vice .14). Since these make for 720oz total for these surface's I think the previous 960oz total was over kill. I did keep the 480oz servos on the elevators. Going to try a Mejzlik 30 x 10 carbon on the DA 120 now that is broke-in and see if I can get the plane to slow down better in the air as well as on the ground.

hey guys i'm looking to purchase another cowl for our 104 extra. we have the red and white scheme. if anyone has one please let me know. i'm going to try out some stock mufflers on our da-120 and i would prefer not to make more cuts in our current cowl in case we switch back later. so a new cowl or one that is already cut for stock mufflers would be fine .

I was wondering if you ever got your mid-range surge issue corrected with your DA 120 and exactly what you did to correct it? I have one that surges mid-range and you can only really fly it slow or fast. It is on an EF 104 Extra, two KS5 413 60 cans.
