Extreme Flight 83/76 MXS EXP

Finally got around to bringing the camera tonight to get some pictures of the great vinyl Eric did for me on my 83" Extreme Flight MXS. His work is not only fantastic the quality of the product is simply amazing.

I had a big scare tonight. So as I am still breaking in my VVRC 40 so just trying to keep air going through the cowl to keep temps down I was doing some 1/3 throttle slow turning rollers to the left and when I stopped I noticed it was pulling to the left pretty good and I could tell something was not right. I set up for a landing but was pretty challenging as I needed close to 1/4 right aileron to fly straight. Coming out of the turn on finial was very hard needing almost full control. I decided to drift off the paved runway and land on the grass as I felt I needed to keep speed up for fear or it rolling left where I could not get out. I killed ignition right before touchdown and arriving to the plane I had not left aileron response. After getting to the pits I swapped left for right connections and still no left aileron. Getting home I removed the servo and the extension and plugged direct to the receiver I still have nothing at the servo not even a sound. So I guess I have a blown servo which is concerning. They are all new Savox 1270's and this was only flight 5 on them.

Took a while for the pucker to leave my gut but all and all we live to fly another day as it could have been real bad.

That was an old post of mine you brought up as I have long since replaced that servo and infact sold the MXS for a new DA70 powered EF Extra 91". The power was okay but I had one of the earlier ones that had the crank problem. VV replaced it and the second one gave me no problems. I sold it because no matter what I tried I could not get this plane to tumble like every other plane I have flown. That motor plane combo did not have the power of my DA70/Extra. Some are saying that the 2 into 1 header with canister adds some power.
