    Extreme Flight Extra 300 EXP Clean Sheet

    Just catching the thread up to date, sort of, with some never videos. I'm sure we'll shoot more in 2013. This is all we have for right now, but they are in startling Hi Def, enough reason to give them a look. https://vimeo.com/47177762 https://vimeo.com/47197218...

    Extreme Flight 60" Edge 540T Assembly

    I'm a bit surprised you went with the Edge since you seem to be an Extra kind of guy, but it's a great choice. I have wanted to put one of these together from the beginning, but money, space, and other projects have all delayed me. I will definately get to it. I know you will love yours.

    Extreme Flight Extra 300 EXP Clean Sheet

    Here's a slightly bizarre one. Every Extra EXP I have seen has had the top of the rudder covered in the same color as the plane, either red or blue. My newest red Extra EXP has a white top on the rudder! I'm pretty sure it's not supposed to be that way, but it's different, and I've got a one in...

    EF Yaks are coming...who wants one?

    All you need to know about pull systems is "if it centers leave it alone."

    EF Yaks are coming...who wants one?

    Now it looks like the 48" Yaks might get here right after Christmas. Now sre about the larger ones.

    I feel kind embarrased

    That Quiet Storm was a good flying plane. Generally the Fliton planes were aerodynamically very sound. I guess I am only slightly less of a loser since I like the 48" planes. I love the 40-45 class size planes. They fit in the car assembled, use inexpensive batteries and are generally pretty...

    EF Yaks are coming...who wants one?

    I believe the first one will be a 48" and then a 60". It's hard to believe it won't eventually be available in bigger sizes too.

    Yippee! Charging The Lithium Polymer Beast

    I believe that includses the y harness and switch. Today was the first day I got to use my new power system in the real world and actually put a load on it. These are Hewlett Packard power supplies, and they have been bulletproof in my computers and in my other power system, so I wasn't...

    Yippee! Charging The Lithium Polymer Beast

    Thanks, Jeremy. I am not so swift with all the technical stuff. One of the reasons I never tried parrellel charging is that with this power system (and previously the FM system), I can pop out any two batteries I own in 15 minutes or less, and you simply can't fly them fast enough to keep up...

    Yippee! Charging The Lithium Polymer Beast

    No, but I need to give it a try. You're going to love that plane. Mine just went through a minor refurbishing because it had a hard summer doing development work on the new 4016 Mk II motor. It got a lot of flight time and I really fell in love with it. Check my blog for articles on the plane...

    EF 48" Laser EXP

    100 Flights? Or so. I've had such a great time with this plane that I sort of forgot to count. As seen in [B]Extreme Flight Laser__25 Raging Flights[/B] it did not take me very long to fall in love with how this plane flies. From what I can tell, the Laser shares the same wing...

    Yippee! Charging The Lithium Polymer Beast

    The only 110 volt chargers I know of are low amperage, like the TP610C AC/DC. With the Power24+ and a hot 24 volt charger you can crank the amps to those batteries. Yeah, it does, but I've been using the feathermerchant supply for about a year with no worries. Both supply systems are built...

    Yippee! Charging The Lithium Polymer Beast

    Generally I try to stay away from technical articles about electric chargers and such because this is not my area of expertise. Mostly I try to keep the blog just fun, but you do have to charge your batteries and you do need to know something about it. I came into electrics knowing absolutely...

    60" Extra EXP__More Of A Good Thing

    After just over a year of flying the 48" Extreme Flight Extra EXP, I couldn't wait to get my hands on the new 60" variant. The 48" has been my go-to plane from the minute I flew my first one, so I knew a bigger version would truly be more of a really good thing. Everything else being equal...

    You might want to add Extreme Flight and Thunder Power to the list. B and E Graphics is rapidly becoming a big favorite too.
