    Extreme Flight Extra 300 91"

    I used Epoxy mixed with Denatured Alcohol. I mix it to a consistency that is just bit thicker than water and brush it on. I'm watching the build videos from the EF website and using their techniques used for fuel proofing. Tonight I'm going to buy a tapered reamer. It's used to open...

    Extreme Flight Extra 300 91"

    Well tomorrow came and went but today I did fuel seal the inside of the fuse, the motor box, the landing gear wood, cowl ring, wings and stabs. First I ironed all the Ultra coat where it is tacked down againt the wood on the fuse, wings and stabs; then, I used masking tape and masked off the...

    91" Extra 300-EXP ARF

    I'll give you a failure on the tail wheel; however, the cracked rudder I'd have say the Owner/Operator may have something to do with that :facepalm:

    With a DA70 will you still need nose weight?

    78'' Extra

    I finally maiden the Extra....what a pleasure this bird is to fly. I thought Aeroworks 260QBL, 30cc was a good flying plane...it doesn't come close to the EF 300. I'm really happy with how close I was able to get the prop washer to the cowl. Real nice tight fit. The VVRC 40cc was hard to...

    78'' Extra

    The carb is below the engine box. The geometry wouldnt allow you to mount the servo inside.

    78'' Extra

    Thanks for the pic's, it gave me some ideas. I used 2/56 ball links for the thottle. I recessed the non-structural overhang portion of the engine box so there is no binding from idle to full thottle. Also, I found a servo arm that is narrow compared to the plastic servo arms. Before I...

    78'' Extra

    I'm trying to set up my throttle linkage. I have a VVRC 40cc and I'm using the existing throttle servo location under the motor box. This is my first installation of this type, so if any of you have any pic's I could look at that would help greatly with the installation or recommendations, I'd...

    Extreme Flight Extra 300 91"

    New EF EXTRA 300 91" .....Tonight I used canopy glue and went around the inside of the canopy. After that I pulled out the wings and and the elevators, bought a fresh bottle of thin CA and went around the anti-rotation pins and any other joints I could apply the CA too. I put those back in...

    78'' Extra

    Pull-Pull Wire Explanation I hope this drawing and the explanations below will help you determine the which system is right for you. Example (A) is this most perfect geometry that there is. Why, because if you look at the relationship of the bellcrank to the rudder horn...

    Extreme Flight Extra 300 91"

    I was amazed at how quickly the 300 got to my house. From Ga. to Ca in four days. Double boxed and the inner boxes are very, very roubust. No damage at all. Did a quick fit check and everything looks good.

    78'' Extra

    I have a question about the pull/pull set up in the Extra 78"? Do you cross the wires or is it a straight run.

    Extreme Flight Extra 300 91"

    All, I just ordered the EF 300, it's back in stock but who knows for how long! I looked for a build thread on for this plane and couldn't find one, is there one that I'm missing?

    78'' Extra

    I sealed the wooden area on the fuse where the main landing gear mounts....... Epoxy watered down with denatured alchohol. Main gear is on and wheel pants are mocked up. I don't think I'm going to use the wood screw that comes with the kit; instead, I'm going to open the hole in the landing...
