    Extreme Flight RC 91" Yak 54 build

    Funny thing is I only bought the 24x8 out of habit. You know, buy a DA-50/60 and a 24x8.

    Extreme Flight RC 91" Yak 54 build

    Noted. I flew on the redwing 24x8 again today still getting used to the plane. It seemed solid but not spectacular. Will try the carbon falcon next week to see how it feels.. In the meantime I'll order a mejz to have on deck. Plane is so solid and predictable. Amazing bird.

    Bavarian Demon Cortex

    Flew on my EF 48" edge for the first time yesterday straight out of the box with no adjustments. Hold mode went great but normal mode sent the plane into a hippie-hippie-shake. I hadn't reduced the gain from 100/100 so the cortex was having fun. I adjusted it down.... and then down.... and...

    So FromeCo docs say: For prolonged storage, more than 2 months. Fromeco recommends that packs be discharged to a voltage of 7.4-7.6VDC. I charge up on Friday night, fly the weekend and let them sit until the next Friday. I used to put them in storage mode Sunday night for the 5 day wait but...

    Same here. I just got my Bavarian cortex installed this morning on my 48" EF edge so I'm hoping for a lot of wind this weekend :)

    Redwing 3D Painted Prop !!!

    Flee well yesterday on the maiden flights. Didn't seem like it was ripping although I was taking it easy. More to come later but it would be amazing if a $30 prop does well. It's so good looking too:)

    Extreme Flight RC 91" Yak 54 build

    Got to the field at five for the last hour of sun. Da70 fired right up and the yak flew beautifully. One or two clicks of up and one of left and all was well. Da70 seemed to be running a bit rich but no transition problems. I did have a bit of presidue in the tail.... Normal? Didn't have...

    Extreme Flight RC 91" Yak 54 build

    My wife and I started up the da70 for the first time yesterday with no issues. Four flips to get the "pop" and then three more to start. Love DA. All that's left is one last balance check in the garage and then maiden this weekend.

    Extreme Flight RC 91" Yak 54 build

    I'm actually quite excited about it. I'm assuming it's a no-no for IMAC. Is that a safe assumption?
