Soo, my 104 extra will be grounded for maintenance for the next week or two.

It developed a couple of large cracks in the tail section of the fuselage, which caused violent fluttering of the tail surfaces.

And I'm getting a little wing flex.

Now those aren't things you hear every day about an EF airframe! Hope you tighten up all the loose parts.

Have heard this tail block issue from a few people now. Its unfortunate to hear of it in an EF airframe.

My 91" extra developed some pretty bad flex around the wing tube, both in the fuse and in the wings themselves. I've added a second wing bolt to both wings to try and stiffen things up a bit.

Check the stab tubes!

Stab tube is pretty tight still, no wobble or deflection in the back end of the airframe so far.

Fingers crossed.

Nice Hone! You are obviously enjoying that one. What are you running for power? Prop? Batt?

Nice Jacob. Dueling 48 extras! Love it.
What are you using for a power setup? I have a sunny sky on my MXS using 4s 2200. I get about 5-5:30 flying aggressively. You were going at it on that one and went to 6+. Was the batt toasty after that?

Thanks! It's the stock power combo on 4s 2650s and 12x6 Xoar. After 5 minutes i land with 15-20% left in the packs. Thinking of going up to 4s 3000s.

Wow a 12x6! I'm running the sunny sky on 14x7 Xoar right now on the MXS pulling about 60A. Was going to try 13x7. I have a bunch of 2200s so that's what I use.
