    Extreme Flight EXP Servo Thread (60" EXP's): Poll!!!

    I have not had a Laser yet, so I can't speak to that plane. Yet, that is. However, I have flown the HS5245MG servos extremely hard in the 60 Edge and Extra and the MXS in both it's 60" and 64" configurations. I learned a few things about these servos, and servo set up in general, and my...

    You might be able to iron it back down with a trim iron set on low. Work from the good covering and iron towards the delamination so you don't trap any air. The trouble seems to start at a pointy end and the clear peels back from there. I've got one of the effected planes, but I usually...

    Bob's Hobby Center in Orlando is the largest full service Xoar dealer in the US, but Extreme Flight stocks them whenever they can get them.

    Extreme Flight 48" MXS-EXP

    Make sure your BEC is putting out 6 volts, seal your hinge gaps and you probably won't have any more trouble. However, once you do stall or blow them back, the servos just get weaker and it is easier to do it the next time. In that case, just sned them back to Hi Tec because they usually don't...

    Wow. That was fast. Nine minutes to be exact. Thanks for taking care of that.

    The Yak Is Back Intro Oh my and Yakkity Yak. The Yak is indeed back in the biggest, best and baddest way possible, which is as an Extreme Flight Experimental Progressive (EXP). I was just starting to fly 3D when the original Extreme Flight 48" Yak 54 sold out for the final time. I've had a...

    I had a Falcon, but I could not tell a difference of any kind when flying it next to a Xoar. As far as I could tell, performance was identical. If Xoars become hard to get, I'll have no reservation buying more Falcons. I was running a 16/8 because it was all I could get. I recently acquired...

    Ooops. Make sure that's the PN55709 set. the only stock number they give is the Tower number. I am reasonably certain that's them though.

    I found them here for $3.99! The problem will be that the shipping will be almost as much! http://www.servoshop.co.uk/index.php?pid=PN55709&area=SPARES I believe this is also it for $4.79, but there is no Hi Tec stock number, just Tower's own stock number...

    I never weigh my planes because once they are built you can't do anything about the weight, but I can't believe it is any heavier than it was before. I got them for $4.95 at my local hobby shop. You can probably get them at Tower or from Hi Tec. If you mail order it you'll probably pay...

    EDIT: I'm not sure how this happened. I posted a link to the article and the whole thing showed up instead. May as well leave it since everything seems correct. The Zonker Rides Again! I've been flying my Screaming Yellow Zonker 64" MXS so hard for the past two years that the...

    At least on the 5245MG the arms that come in the box are too short. I've been using Dubro arms and they were fine for years, but I think they changed their plastic or something. Instead, I have switched to the Hi Tec PN55709 set. I first had experience with these when I was running HS985MG...
