    30cc and 60cc airframes

    Transportation isn't a problem either. 50cc flies really well and are relatively easy to transport. They are definitely the economy size plane if you want something that flies well.

    30cc and 60cc airframes

    I flew my 30cc for about a season. I was tired of my little DLE 30 running like crap, so I decided I needed to move up, because the DLE 55s are known to run ridiculously well. About the time I was looking into getting that size plane, my buddy offered me a great deal on a plane. He sold me an...

    30cc and 60cc airframes

    I had two 30cc airplanes and then I upgraded to a 50. The difference in flight characteristics is astronomical. I'm getting a 20cc here pretty quick, and then after that I'm going to focus on getting a new 30cc. I was thinking the extra 330 from peakmodels, in the pretty orange scheme. But...

    Extreme Flight 48" MXS-EXP

    SnowDog the plane actually comes with some baffles that go right behind those two holes and direct air over the motor. Nice feature by extreme flight.

    DLE 55 Prop choice?

    Agreed. A 24x8 is what a 60 or 61 runs

    Idea! Homemade Side Force Generators

    Thanks! Before I installed them, the upright harrier was a little unstable. Now it's nonexistent!

    Discussion Freestyle Routine Music

    What I do is this: Step 1: think about a rough outline, i.e. Slow to fast or fast to slow.. Etc. I outline my stuff very much like Jase Dussia and Daniel Holman, for there stuff is wonderful. I try to start off with something that doesn't have lyrics. Step 2: scroll through a huge list of...

    It took a little bit of getting used to, but I finally got the hang of it. There are some really nice YouTube tutorials on how to use it, but it works really well. I've made two freestyles with it

    Extreme Flight 48" MXS-EXP

    I just cut it right in the middle, about 3/4" total cut out. I then glued it back in place and fiberglassed the bejesus out of it. Still a great flying plane though, and my dog loves to chase it around

    DLE-30 Dies When Inverted

    do you have a loop in your vent line? that might help. I know if you run your vent line straight out of the tank, it might fill with fuel, so you have to run a loop on top of the tank. that might help a little!

    DLE 55 Prop choice?

    I just switched to a 23x8 on my 55 and it seems to be just a tad bit more than the 22x8 ever did. It now rockets out of a hover. As for type, I perfer Xoar because they're cheap and relaible. I'm currently doing some testing between the beechwood and the laminated, and so far, not much...

    Idea! Homemade Side Force Generators

    Well, I got bored one day and decided my 50CC Yak 54 needed some side force generators. I got the plans off of GiantScaleNews (sorry), and then took an 8.5"x11" piece of paper, and with a popsicle stick (to get the curve), a straight edge, and some sketching, I was able to come up with my own...

    Extreme Flight 48" MXS-EXP

    I got this airplane a few months ago, and absolutely love this airplane. The build was very straight forward. The only complaint I have is that the motor mount accommodates the recommended torque motor, and that motor only. I can't afford that, and I had a spare motor laying around, so I had to...

    Extreme Flight 104 Extra

    the square turn maneuver... it that where you start of inverted and then do a snap, and end up upright going perpendicular to where you started?

    DLE-30 Dies When Inverted

    I think it's just a problem with the DLE 30's in general. Most every 30 in our local club has had issues. When I had mine, it ran much, much leaner when the plane was inverted as well. I sold the plane, and the succeeding owner put on a new carb, as well as a DLE-55 ignition. The new ignition...

    The music mixing software I use is called Audacity. It's free to download. I actually just finished a freestyle routine, and I'm going to start practicing so I can compete in the Pacific Coast Freestyle!
