    Extreme Flight Owners Thread

    All very reasonable assumptions and based on info that's already out there and real. I remember reading not long ago people asking when the 97 MXS was coming out LOL.

    Extreme Flight Owners Thread

    The EF Lasers are part of the EXP series. This means that significant liberties are taken during the design phase to achieve the absolute best flying airplane possible. In full scale there were quite a few different versions of the Laser, which was based on the Stephens' Acro. There was the...

    Sebart Mig 29 3D capable EDF

    Would love a real 3D jet. 15K is a lot of money though. Can you imagine doing pop-tops from a 200 mph pass? That would be sweet. Will try to get some video. Unfortunately I threw the batteries out in a pop-top last night so the plane will need a little repair...one elevator and the fins are...

    Sebart Mig 29 3D capable EDF

    So I picked one of these things up when they were on sale at Thunder Power. I always wanted one when they came out, but I just couldn't bring myself to blow 600 bucks on a foam EDF with 9 gram servos. They went on sale for 40% off and I had to get one. Build is easy, then there is a lot of...

    Life batteries

    I have used a lot of Hyperion LiFe packs and when I need lower voltages I really like them. I think I have used them in about 5 different airplanes. Hobbico LiFeSource packs are generally heavier and more expensive than the Hyperion ones. I have also seen genuine A123 cells fail twice...

    60" Laser-EXP

    I have a set that I had in my Extra. They are old and don't center well after a bazillion flights. I'll make you a great deal if you want to send them into Hitec for some refreshing.

    60" Laser-EXP

    I have found that my Laser has a huge amount of side area but it does not have as much rudder authority as the MXS. This is good for me as it makes precision rolling maneuvers really easy, and it makes harriers about as simple as any airplane I've ever flown. With that said, I have found that...

    I have run HV through the 6014, 6008, and 617 for many, many flights with no issues.

    Servo setup: EPA, current, and linkages

    That's perfect! The only change I like to make is that you should set your ailerons to the lowest common denominator...for example, don't max them all out in every direction. If your left aileron is getting 40 degrees up and 41 down, and your right aileron is getting 39 degrees up and 42...

    Another 60" Laser-EXP build

    Spray the area where you will apply the decal with some Rapid Tac. If you don't have Rapid Tac, you can use Windex but it will take a lot longer to dry and the results won't be quite as nice...the decals may lift after a while. Put the decals on over the Rapid Tac, position carefully, and...

    Another 60" Laser-EXP build

    File or grind a flat spot where the tiller and the collar attach to the shaft. Find the small wood screws for holding the tailwheel on Use the tailwheel assembly to drill some holes in the fuselage to mount securely using the provided screws. First thread the...

    Another 60" Laser-EXP build

    Build thread continues! OK, now let's move on to the fuselage. Get it out of the bag and tighten up any wrinkles it may have. Go over the motor mount joints, battery tray, and any other high stress joints you can reach with a bit of thin CA. Now is a good time to put the...

    Twisted Hobbys 32" Crack Laser!

    The Beaver is the best in the wind of all the smaller foamies.

    Twisted Hobbys 32" Crack Laser!

    The Crack Pitts is a lot more tame than the Laser even though they fly at about the same flight speed. It has a lot more area and less aileron snappiness. The Crack Laser is my favorite 32" plane ever and I will always have one...if you want to fly in smaller spaces go for the Crack Yak Mini...

    15cc EF 60" Edge 540T-EXP Gasser

    Try wrapping the threads on the LS needle with teflon tape. This will help seal and keep it from backing out.
