So new models on Extreme Flight RC? I've been itching to get a 60" electric 3D model. Been leaning towards the tried and proven Extra 300 EXP, but I noticed the 3DHS has the Slick 580 in a 60" version as well... well shoot me running! What do I do!?!?
I noticed that the dimensions are identical too? 60" x 58.5" 5-6lbs no Idea what the wind area is on the slick 580 though

I have the 60" EF Extra, LOVE IT!!! :ecstatic: it is running the Torque motor and airboss ESC. I think either way you go you are going to be really happy!!!

I've been pre occupied with another new hobby this last week or so. Rod building! Currently building a 9wt switch fly rod. It's a fun project!! It'll be my ocean rod for king & coho salmon... And probably try it steelhead fishing to.

As for the laser build, I've been working on a choke system setup utilizing a bell crank... New to me, but I think it'll make this builder happy in the end. Maybe it's the OCD in me ha, but the lack of seamless geometry for the other methods have been driving me crazy!

Thats really nice Nick!! I love dry fly fishing! Never tried salt water fly fishing... Or even fished in salt water....
