    12S power systems ideas and options

    Thanks Ken you are the man. I will definitely go that route when I for sure I am going to power a 78" bird... Just waiting on a EXP in that class. Thanks Bryan

    Extreme Flight Owners Thread

    I'm painting a repaired cowl, so it will have to be out of a spray can.

    gary where do you get that from? Problem is everything comes by air here and spray cans can't be shipped via air. Will check my hobby store next.

    Extreme Flight Owners Thread

    Thanks Roger... If I wasn't flying low I probably would be on a hiatus again from RC. Since I started flying 3D just over 2 years ago I've been hooked and don't see myself getting out anytime soon. Its fun as long as I am improving and learning new stuff. I went to home depot and the auto...

    Extreme Flight Owners Thread

    Thanks guys... I was fortunate to have a elevator on hand or I would be out a plane until a new elevator game in.

    Extreme Flight Owners Thread

    Had a little incident with my extra yesterday... I got a little to low on the down line of a rolling loop and caught a 15' high brush. The bush tore off my the counter balance and half of the left elevator and sent it straight to the ground. Broken cowl, a little former damage, and broken...

    12S power systems ideas and options

    Ken could you hit 180kV? I would really like to test out a 180-185 with a 22x10. I may send my 206kV motor for a rewind when I get closer to getting a 78". I also might just keep or sell it and get another. Really would like to test it with a 21x8 before I do that though.

    Thanks for the update Ken... Now I just need to get the funds in line for a 50CC. Sooner then later I hope.

    60" Extra 300 EXP

    I have had great experience with castle and their CS other then the current issues... I'll just resort back to my old tried and true Ice lite 100. Thousands and thousands of flights with them. I have used ZTW products in the past but I don't care for the short wires (I know I could lengthen...

    60" Extra 300 EXP

    Same exact setup I have too... love it and runs so cool. I had the same issues with the Ice lite 100 and resorted back... now I am having issues with the Edge lite 100, but will be selling and resorting back to a Ice lite 100 if they don't come up with a fix very soon. Will try with more...

    12S power systems ideas and options

    Sorry I thought you were talking about a 78"extra with 2x 2600s. With the 6s 2600 I tend to use it as a floaty setup for the 60" extra and it is as floaty as the 57" Extra is with the 6s 2600s. I fly it around different then I do with the 6s3300s (more low and slow), flying yesterday I got...

    12S power systems ideas and options

    I don't have a 78" Extra yet... been holding off for it to go EXP status, but I am a little impatient. Probably will get a 91" powered by the 50CC subsonic motor before I get my hands on a 78" EXP, if ever. With the 6s 2600s and my 71" Slick I get between 6:00 and 7:30 depending on how I...

    60" Extra 300 EXP

    I've been working on them and they are difficult to keep from falling out, but the little extra seems to hold them with the best of them.

    12S power systems ideas and options

    Subbed... Wow the new subsonic 50CC looks great. Looks like a bigger brother to my 12s 4330s. If it performs anything like it, it will be a power house cool running mamajamma. I have been playing around with 12s setups for some time and it has proven it self to be the coolest running systems...

    I have done this a few times here in the Alaskan cold... pin hinges get brittle.

    60" Extra 300 EXP

    Nice flying roger. Sweet inverted harrier spin at 1:55. The 60" extra is still my favorite plane, she begs to be thrown around and yet flies such beautiful lines.

    71" AJ Slick Building, Flying, and Questions

    Jackson that motor is 95g (3.35oz) heavier then the motor I run in my slick... My setup I would consider heavy. I put my rudder servo in the tail, so that motor will definitely require a push pull rudder setup. With 830g worth of batteries the extra 95g is a deal breaker for me. I have flown...
