    60" Laser-EXP

    I mounted mine directly below the cortex on the battery tray but underneath the wing tube.

    78'' Extra

    Do it! I am still running the Mej 21x10 and am liking the speed, but yet still plenty of power. I remove the SFGs and can get a decent poptop out of it with the extra momentum. We have had crappy weather here, too. I cannot wait to get some time back on the 78.

    60" Laser-EXP

    Yes, Enterprise is right (wing bolts) but I think they are M3 vs M4. Here is what I did instead of using the stock bolts. I purchased these Seacraft Wing Bolts M3 from Aztech Aeromodels: http://bit.ly/1gsiDkD and used a tiny bit of Red threadlock on the head and the bolt to secure them...

    60" Laser-EXP

    Thanks GYRO, I was glad we got to meet-up; I wish you'd taken me up on my offer for a tug on the sticks. I enjoyed flying your Edge. Like YellowJacketsRC said, this Cortex is amazing. The two biggest selling points for any future operator is 1) the ease of setup, 2) how well it works when you...

    Just checked and it does appear that all the 60" class aircraft share the same tubes.

    60" Laser-EXP

    wedoitall, no rush and THANKS!. I sent you a PM on the other forum. Let me know if you didn't get it. I am not in a huge rush. dth7, thanks! I will check them out. I was worried about getting the exact dimensions because of the tight fit. I will probably still call EF to find out if they...

    60" Laser-EXP

    Posting this around to see if anyone has a spare wing tube that I could buy. I cracked mine today I checked EF's website and it is not listed as a replacement part - maybe because it is out-of-stock? My measurements indicate: 2 5/8" OD 22 7/8" Length (or 58.3 cm) Anyone know the size or...

    78'' Extra

    I did a custom z-bend to get a custom step for the throttle line vs the throttle body with the same non-structural overhang "notch". See attached picture. I really like this setup better than my first angled attempt. Order mine on Oct 7th, delivered on the 9th. You might call to check on it...

    So some of you guys (@Enterprise, @hone1er, anyone...) that have gotten the tach off the RCEXL / Hall Effect sensor from the VVRC 40, were you using the Y-harness "trick". Did you y-harness off the ignition like this Or did you use the actual RPM lead off the RCEXL? The sounds like there may...

    78'' Extra

    I had the same thing happen on a 72" Slick. I did the thin CA but also laminated some CF on both sides after scuffing the CF as much as I could, and then clamped that section in a vice overnight. Once done I wrapped the gear in black kite type I had (for appearance) and it held for about 10...

    Thanks, I have been collecting my parts for my 78" for the past few weeks (including the VVRC 40) and just this week they came back in stock so mine will be delivered tomorrow! Looks like I should have a busy weekend ahead. I had thought about mounting up the 40 and getting her started without...
