    Very odd problem w/DA60

    To be 100% sure it's not cowl-related is an easy test. Fly it once with the cowl OFF and see if the problem remains. (Add some weight up front to make up for the lost weight of the cowl if you need)

    Bowling Green Extreme 3D Fly-In, July 25-28, 2013

    That's my thought, at the moment. Very sparse outside chance I can get out Friday for Friday night and all day Saturday, but more likely a Saturday day trip, if I can make it at all. Would be awesome to drag home that big Extra (Or another 60" plane, as if I don't have enough of those :D ) More...

    Maybe later, but it's the same geometry from my other two MXS's, and never had an issue with either. In fact, I pulled the linkages from my green one for this one. Once on the ground it was still holding full UP, just like if you were holding the stick there. Pushing a bit further UP, or DOWN...

    It's now officially a "free plane" so next time out I will fly it much harder :D Someone asked me how it did a falling leaf, (Very nicely, is the answer) and after the 7th or 8th flip the elevator decided to hang full up at 75+ degrees. After the initial shock wore off, and I fought it back...

    Yeah, I was all over that announcement. Picked up Friday, flew it bare on Saturday, added the decals and wheel pants on Sunday and flew it some more (Between the rain storms) :)

    The 3DRCForums -Discuss Anything Thread-

    I have an EME 35. Pretty sure it's not a DA copy ;) Regarding Skywing... you realize that they came first, right? As of late 2011... they manufacture planes that are sold, here in the states, exclusively by 3DHS. (With what I assume are copious amounts of 3DHS design input of course) They do...

    Discussion Wow, a plane can do that?

    My favorite is when someone who has never flown RC tells you how they have one, or used to have one. I get that quite a bit. Especially from vendors trying to get their foot in the door. Wanting to make a personal connection I guess. (Most recently, from a car salesman. Same deal) It's...

    But if you used them on YOUR plane they might make your plane invisible. ...and that would be COOL. :D Or maybe not.

    New Here? Introduce yourself!

    The "C" stands for Chris. Been flying since the 80's, with a couple long breaks here and there. I'm getting better at really abusing a plane without completely splintering them all that often. :) Working on 3D stuff but not disciplined enough to keep from just ripping around doing a lot of...
