    I will agree it's a little harder to get really good and tight.

    i have gone away from those straps other than the few I still have. I have instead picked up a box of the double sided Velcro from Lowes and have been very happy with it.

    Thanks Don. I'm not sure what yellow it is. It's what ever 3DHS uses.

    Cool The I'm going out flying thread 2017

    Post maiden pics from taking the 75" Extra out yesterday evening. The VVRC 40cc twin ran awesome and makes good power for this airframe but as I expected it does not want to hand start. Had to use the electric starter. Since I don't have a spinner on it I had the starter slip off and hit the...

    Sport The Behemoth Yak gets a Behemoth Brother/129" Pilot Yak (2)

    I plan to try out that fuel tubing trick for the tail wheel steering at some point. I got lucky on my PAU Sukhoi and got the springs setup perfect on my first try but whenever they give up the ghost it will be converted to the fuel tubing trick.

    Post your servo, receiver, and battery setups

    In the 3DHS 75" extra I just got it came with a pair of Pulse 2550mah 2S lipos. I'm not running high voltage servos so I'm swapping out to a pair of 1600mah 2S LiFe packs and I'm sure it will be more than enough. In my big PAU Sukhoi im running 2 2500mah life packs and at the end of a flying day...

    A buddy that used to work with me had that camera. We made a mount for it to mount onto his shotgun. Got some pretty cool footage of him Goose hunting.

    Sport The Behemoth Yak gets a Behemoth Brother/129" Pilot Yak (2)

    I think that would be a good idea. Kind of a thread where people can share their setups and help recommend setups for others out there.

    Thanks for the input. I'm tempted to repair mine myself but the extreme flight website shows that its only $35 for a replacement.

    Finished up the baffles in the 75" extra. Really happy with how they turned out.

    A buddy of mine used scrap depron to build a holder for his iPhone to mount on his hat. Works pretty well.

    You meen a hole in the cowl like this? LOL. plane used to have a da35 on it. I plan to order a new cowl at some point though. Also I planned to add tristock to the corners for some strength as well. This was just a mock up and all taped together.

    First attempt at baffling on this little 75" extra. I'm happy with how it looks. Now to mock up the other side then glue it all up and add some black paint.
