    EF 48" Laser EXP

    Happy, happy, happy! Wing issue resolved. I took my covering iron and went over the covering in that area to make sure it was glued down really good and then took my hobby knife and trimmed away the sheeting overlapping the recess. I then took the iron over it again to make sure it didn't get...

    EF 48" Laser EXP

    Ok, at least I know what is going on for sure now. I took a pen and traced around the wing where it recesses into the fuse and it is not seating in there because the recess is too small in an area. Here is a picture of what I have going on. I am just nervous about cutting into it because I am...

    EF 48" Laser EXP

    Ok, I flipped the right wing over and tried it on the left side. It does the same thing as the left wing was doing must be the fuse. I am looking at the fuse closer and it looks like the top of the wing sheeting is hitting the cut out for the recessed area in the fuse where the wing goes in...

    EF 48" Laser EXP

    Nope, not the wing tube length. I took the wing tube out and put the wing up to the fuse without it. No matter what angle I held it at I could not get the blind nut and mounting tab holes to line up.

    EF 48" Laser EXP

    I will double check that. The reason I think it is the pin is because it is binding and kind of fighting the wing tube.

    EF 48" Laser EXP

    Yeah i think that the anti-rotation pin is not straight going into the fuse. It is like the pin won't let the leading edge of the wing set flush with the fuse. I wish I would have tried to mount the wings before I did so much work. I am hoping a new wing panel will fix it as that is alot less...

    EF 48" Laser EXP

    Wing Fitment Issue Well I pretty much have the Laser EXP all together. I went to bolt up the wings. The right wing fits fine but the left wing is not lining up properly to the fuse. I think that the anti-rotation pin was not installed straight at the factory and that is causing the problem...

    EF 48" Laser EXP

    EF 48" Laser EXP

    Just picked up 4 of those batteris from EPBuddy. I have several of the Glacier batteries in 2s and 3s and they are holding up really good. I might actually be able to get two seasons out of my 2s batteries for indoors which is pretty rare for me, I guess we will see how the hold up in storage...

    3DHS 48" Edge vs. EF 48" Edge

    Well, I ended up going a completely different direction and went with the Laser EXP. The 3DHS is out of stock for most of the flying season and I decided that I don't like the looks of the long canopy on the EF 540T. I can remember Leo Loudenslouger flying the Laser at Oshkosk when I was a...

    EF 48" Laser EXP

    Thanks Gyro! Does that go for the rest of the 48" EXP series as well or you just like the extra weight in the Laser?

    Anderson/Sermos Power Poles

    Thanks! Looks like they have everything Sermos. You know of any paraboards for these connectors or do you just use a harness when parallel charging?

    Anderson/Sermos Power Poles

    I am looking at ordering some new batteries for next season. I hate soldering and what thinking about switcheing over to Sermos connectors. I just wanted to see who is using them here and how they like them before I start clipping off my old connectors. I am using mostly EC3 and XT60...

    Help! Connecting a Castle BEC Pro and Hitec SPC with Anderson Powerpole Connectors

    @ Gyro. I have read somewhere that you are not supposed to lengthen/shorten ESC wires because it could damage the ESC. Obviously you are doing it and it seems to be working for you. Is this a myth that you can dispell for me?

    Twisted Hobbies - 32" Crack Yak Lite

    Havent been able to fly for a couple weeks but made it out to our indoor fly in last night. Put two flights on the replacement servo and it started stripping on me halfway through the second flight. Elevator and aileron servos are doing fine. I am done with the TH CS40D. Does anyone have any...

    3DHS 48" Edge vs. EF 48" Edge

    Nice flying Bandit! Thanks for the advice guys. Here is another comparison, I have a 3DHS 48" EPP Extra. Either of you flow that one? I like the Extra, I am going to retire it to my practice plane next season, I definately used and abused it all summer long. It tought me alot and I had a...

    Motor Compatability

    Thanks for the help guys. Sounds like if I decide to go with this airframe I would be better off to get a different motor.
