    91" Extra 300-EXP ARF

    My da-70 has been the best da I've ever owned. Ran right out of the box for ten flights, then a small leaning. Can't say enough good about it.

    Extreme Flight RC 91" Yak 54 build

    Had some great flights yesterday. The field was empty, sky blue and 80 degrees... Perfect day. I moved one battery aft about 6 inches and replaced the wingtips with the SFGs and she came alive. Rock solid elevators to harries to hover. Could not have done that with the old setup. Noticed that...

    Extreme Flight RC 91" Yak 54 build

    I got five flights in yesterday and was trying to tumble this plane with no success. The 48" inch planes from EF will tumble so gas and violently that you almost can't see them. I just couldn't get the big yak to do it no mater how I tried. What's your experience?

    How many years have you been in the hobby?

    From my memory banks, it was all futaba back then and maybe some heathkit stuff sprinkled in (although I grew up on Futaba). I lived in Ft. Wayne, IN and learned in New Haven. About all I remember is that the training airplane had bright yellow monokote on the wings and there was a wire...
