150-200cc Extra 300SP

Well I bit the bullet today and ordered one. I talked to a sponsored pilot for an hour about the plane and how it flys. On paper it should be a good flying plane. If it flys as good or better as my H9 3.1M Sukhoi I will be very happy. The setup will be a GP176 on smooth pipes, 29X12X3 Mej prop, JR servos and guided my my 28X. I have MPH83T and 8911 servos but I'm not sure yet if I will stick with those or try out the new NX6421 all aluminum servo. Likely be setup using Xbus also. Got to get it assembled fast, trimmed and practice for some upcoming IMAC contest.

Congrats on the new plane!!!
The PAU uses hardware on threaded studs like most Cardens do so getting the servo geometry matched up nicely is super easy, or at least you have more options for adjustment compared to the G-10 epoxy in horns. Here is a little post from the Viper thread for some info on this hardware and ways to use it.: http://giantscalenews.com/threads/brand-new-pau-viper-st-announced.2593/page-15#post-59127

I really love the stud style control horns. It does make geometry much easier IMO.

does anyone know what header drop is needed for this plane?

Yesterday at work I had to leave because one of the ambulances was having some issues. When I got back I seen a lovely surprise waiting for me. 2 large box's with my name on it with PAU's shipper name. Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh yeaaaaaaaaaa. I first unboxed the wings. Everything looked good. But that was short lived. I noticed a hole in the bottom of the large box. Not good. I remover all components for inspection. Everything was fine except the fuse. The tail was heavily damaged. Called Herve right away. I received a txt from him later that day saying he had a replacement shipped out. Thanks Herve for the fast shipping.

stabs JR MPH83T X 4
Rudder JR NX6421 mega torque X 2
setup using JR Xbus and Thunder power batteries
GP176 engine with Plane bender smooth pipes

OUCH!! I've been so lucky, all the giant scale lanes I've had shipped I've never had any damage other than a fork lift puncture in one that went directly into the recessed wing socket.....no damage!!
