    72" Extra 330SC

    I guess the vent plate is the way to go. I think one should be enough. The kit came with two. Not sure what position is less likely to catch smoke oil. Do I need to block the intakes next to the prop? I have seen some involved baffles added to cowls to keep the air close to the head. I...

    72" Extra 330SC

    Any suggestions on getting the cooling right for the DLE35RA? I didn't want to have to open a big hole in the cowl on the bottom behind the head, but I'm not sure what else would work. The kit had panels for the bottom of the fuselage with holes in the balsa for venting. I am guessing that is...

    72" Extra 330SC

    Does anyone make a smoke muffler for the DLE35RA? The only one I can find so far is from B&B Specialties. I had one for another motor from them many yeas ago and it was heavy and had no preheat coil inside. I got the engine mounted today. No problems.

    72" Extra 330SC

    I already saw the wing reinforcement posts. Shouldn't be like that but we are lucky we can all share experiences and learn. I will be fixing the wings. I bought this plane for me but my son will probably fly it more than I do. I taught him to fly when he was 8. He is 14 now and really...

    72" Extra 330SC

    Thanks for the information! I also posted on RCU and they said the motor was too much for the plane. I think 3DHS now says up to 38cc so that isn't an issue. I was OK with machining the washers and standoff or cutting the wood down. I just wanted to make sure it wasn't a mistake with the...

    I Guys, I fly in NJ near Sommerset. I am a member of the Atoms RC'ers. I have a couple of Yak 55's so I guess that's my favorite. One is a 50cc the other is a Hyperion 25e. Thanks for the welcome! -=Scott=-

    Hi, I found the forum looking for info on a plane I am building. It looks like a great place! Thanks Google! I have been flying for a long time. I have planes from 50cc down to the tiny micro indoor stuff. Thankfully my wife stays out of the garage. I would have some explaining to do...

    DLE35RRE Mounting Question I am building an Extra now and I ran into something that just doesn't look right. I have a DLE35RE that I want to mount on it. The drill template puts one of the spacers very close to the edge of the firewall. I don't know if it just is what it is, or if the alignment...
