Resurrecting an Old Favorite - 3DHS 87" Extra SHP

[Terryscustom]

I would not be encouraging people to bring it down on the deck until they are well and truly ready, glad it turned out ok.

He would have flown been able to fly out of that hover if it were higher.

Talking about the video, post 54. I don't go around telling everyone to fly as low as possible if that's what your eluding to.

Smoke on the deck... impromptu harrier landing followed by restart and cross-box takeoff... Epic

Fuse is covered! On to re-hinging the rudder and elevators, then getting the wings in shape. Might help Santa deliver some presents with her!

Looking good Earle. Pretty work. You should have that thing doing zero of eights in no time

She's back on her feet again! (Really need to lay of the tequila ). New hinges in the rudder, pull-pull hooked up and throttle servo mounted. Get the engine back in and finish up the batteries and Rx mountings and I can clean off the table for a little wing and stab work.

If I recall correctly this thing weighed around 18#....guess I'll see where it ends up this time around?

Looks really long without the wings on....85" (without spinner)

Great job on the Extra. Almost makes me want to fix something. But hell no I'll keep buying ARF's and my crawl space is full of broken ones. The some-day projects when I retire and that's gonna happen soon. With this crazy cold stuff in Chicago land sure makes me think of Florida! No Frost Florida I saw on the map, maybe my new home. So clean up the crawl space time. I did Santa myself a 50cc Extra and it will be my winter project cause it takes me forever to put a ARF together. Can never figure out were I just put the part I just had in my hand. Or I just sit and stare at plane and forgot what I was doing.
