PAU Owners Thread

[fencelake]

Yea, I only fly IMAC, but I watch all these videos and some of the guys are pretty hard on their planes... I was just curious if they hopped up their planes any. I like the factory wing bolts which can be tightened by hand, and they don't come loose. I'm still building confidence with it and haven't tried any crazy stuff yet.

Nope...I'd say 95% don't do anything to "strengthen" their freestyle planes. Infact, if anything they try to lighten them more.

The PAU planes fly great out of the box though for both IMAC and Freestyle....especially the Extra.

Stock setup on all my stuff. I do pin the firewalls with self tapping screws but that's it.

I'll tell you one thing, I flew for the first time the other day in a little bit stronger wind, and I hardly had to give it any corrections on uplines, etc. It flies where you want it to go. I really love it! I want another PAU now!

I stand corrected. I did this on my PAU Edge as well. But that isn't really anything to do with freestyle as much as our motors nowadays are strong!......especially if you fly 3W like I do (ok, had to jab everyone on that).

Jab taken...... but there is a reason I go with DA, oh, and the fact that I haven't seen a 3W in years around these parts

I have no issue with DA. I'd own one if I find one that is priced good and I knew the owner so I know it wasn't abused. I can say all that with the 3W's I own. They all run good. I now have an older BME100 with NGK plugs and RCEXEL ignition because I needed the smaller footprint for a warbird I'm not working on but should be

Not quite done yet, but you get the idea

I love the stance on the Extras...

The three blade on the Extra is a sexy combo.
