Extreme Flight 76/83" MXS

[Enterprise]

Just got the the hi-tec 2mm arms in stock, just gotta get off my arse and list them up, PM if you want them quicker

The plane has not shipped yet so I can wait a few days till you get them listed.

Sorry about your Extra, Ole. Hope you get it fixed soon. Sounds like it wasn't as bad as it could have been.

Lets definitely get together soon!!

I just got 5 flights today on my MXS and it's flying great. Floats in 3d but does great XA too!

Looks great, Joe. Rob should do one with black stripes, up and down, from the canopy to the stab, and it would look just like a Yellow Jacket. I would then write it off as business expense. Maybe I need to do some "advertising" too.

Thanks

Lol that'd be hilarious! Talk about reppin' hard.

Made some adjustments on my aileron setup. I was getting 50 degrees of throw with the 1.5" spot on arms and my endpoints were not even maxed so I moved them to the 1.25" hole. Now I'm much closer to 100% on my endpoints and still am getting 45 degrees of throw.

Using the Savox 1270s.

Sorry for the blurry pics, the lighting is terrible.

What do you use to measure throw angles?

I am using 7954s at the 1.5" position. I like the maxed out throw for hovering. With my usual setups I sometimes get better roll rate on mid rates at speed. I read once that anything over 38 degrees is just drag and deflective force.

For measuring throws I have a few of the the AJ meters from the various 71 slicks I have bought. I also have the H9 digital one, but getting it to be consistent on the surface is the issue. I use it for matching the elevator halves and the AJ for ailerons.

Tyler let me borrow a real nice one Aeroworks sells as it has the individual degrees marked and it is pretty small.

One of these https://3dhobbyshop.3dcartstores.co...Measuring-Control-Surface-Throws_p_15454.html

Came with my 51" and 71" Slicks

I just ordered one of these throw meters from @RedwingRC... can't wait to get it!

I think I can still get more than 45 degrees but yeah they were acting as air brakes when doing rifle rolls at 50 degrees. I would go to an even smaller arm but I think it would mess up the geometry. I'm close to 100% endpoints but have 140% available.

I have been using that Aeroworks unit for some time now and I really like it. You have to remember with fast servos not to ram the sticks though but that is probable true of most of them that clip on.
