    Failsafe

    I had a strange occurrence at the field yesterday. Futaba 12fg Tx, FrSky TFR6 Rx, running HV servos and 8v from ESC. This Rx has about 200 flights on it with no problems. After about 8 flights I was prepping for another in the pits. Battery was plugged in and throttle cut was engaged. It was...

    Looks like I finally found where all the cool kids hang out! I know you guys were trying to hide from me but I found you anyway.

    my lawn darts!!!

    It didn't look too bad at first but the only thing holding the motor box on was the covering. Broke right through the anti rotation pin holes and a previous break. Good thing I had a spare new in the box hiding behind curtain #2.

    Extreme Flight 76/83" MXS

    All I know is that I got a 30cc RV8 from Aztech Aeromodels for $240 and that was model and shipping.

    Extreme Flight 60" Edge 540T Assembly

    Ohio AV8TOR found a great looking PDF cockpit shown in his Laser build log. Does anyone know of one for the Edge 540T EXP? I had to pull my spare off the shelf today and I would like to dress it up a bit.

    The EXTRA 300 EXT Build Thread

    I just started switching out to Savox on a 30cc plane. Let's just say that I'm done with cheap servos. If you go to GiantScaleNews and look up bemeson, he has very good prices. I am looking at the sv 1270 for a 78" EF Extra 300. The torque is way more than required but they only weigh 56g and cost...

    Extreme Flight Owners Thread

    I will back up Doc on the arms. I was using the dubro arms on the elevator of an 80" sport plane. The arm moved on the output shaft making trimming near impossible. Forget adding a flap elevator mix. The servos I used with stock arms from the box are fine.

    Been keeping up with Aeroplayin's exploits. Looking towards the 4330. I have the 4330-400 in the RV8. We have 6 of them all flying electric at my club. If you want one you better act quick. They are being redesigned and The new design will cost a bit more. Stalls are gentle and straight ahead...

    No gassers, I'm flying all electric. The 30cc sized RV8 is flying on 6S lipo and I am looking at 12S options for the 78" Extra. It is quite a bit more research than gas, but I transport in the cab of my truck, so it smells much better.

    I built my first RC plane in 1990, a Carl Goldberg Eagle II. It lasted 4 minutes. Last year I bought a Park Zone UMX P40 quickly followed by a T28 and Sea Fury. By July I had two balsa planes from eBay. The stik still flies, but the other was retired for an Extreme Flight Edge 540 60". The...
