    New Product New Hitec charger and power supply dock together

    This is a perfect setup for parallel charging a bunch of receiver packs at the field or on the go. Nice :)

    Is there any way to permanently attach a muffler? Not welding or anything, but any type of permanent sealant or something?

    Knife edge spin.

    Boost tabs?

    Redwing RC 89 Extra 330sc

    Yeah, the plane is really agile and floaty, but wads up in a ball when you want violence. Power is absurd with my GP61... Even a DLE55 would be a hoot.

    Redwing RC 89 Extra 330sc

    Well... the DA-50 should be able to move it just fine, as mine was 16.75 lbs dry. It has more pitch authority than the 87", but rudder is very slightly smaller. Fuse is a little fatter, but the plane still flies fast. It's got essentially zero wing rock, so very stable. Awesome energy...

    awesome, let me know how it goes!

    While I should act surprised... I won't. That's just the way they roll at Hitec.

    72" Extra 330SC

    Cut a big enough opening to expose the whole front of the cylinder to air, then use the pipe tunnel for the air exit.

    Playing With Artwork (just some ideas)

    It's definitely not a bad looking plane, that's for sure.

    Knife edge spin.

    Instead of jamming the sticks in the corners, try this: once it's stalled and horizontal, try adding full down elevator only, then watch the plane... you can figure out what it needs from there, as it likely isn't full deflection aileron and rudder. Don't move CG yet, just learn the inputs...

    Knife edge spin.

    the KE spin is one of my favorite maneuvers... here is how I do it: first, begin your upline to the height you want to enter, then cut power to idle. as upward momentum stops, kick over the tail with some right rudder, so the plane's noes falls to the right. then, add full down...

    about the same weight. the "huge" part is hollow, and covers up some of the carb.

    Redwing RC 89 Extra 330sc

    About the same performance as a falcon from my tests. Obviously a slightly different appearance and finish, but the numbers are where they need to be.

    Redwing 89" Extra 330SC

    Got a few more pictures taken at the field yesterday, after I applied a bunch of Knife Edge Graphix to the plane... excellent work on them Dennis! One of the things I like most about his work, is the border-less cut around my pilot name, the aurora 9x logo, the Hitec logo, and the way he 3D...

    Two fromeco 2600mah relion batts, wolverine switch, optima9 rx, tech aero IBEC, heavy duty extensions, bell crank choke pull, aluminum tensioners/links on the pull-pull setup, standard size throttle servo, and an added balsa tray for the rx. Also, the 16.75 weight was prior to the cortex...

    Redwing 89" Extra 330SC

    I put the gyro in after two days at the field... I like to get to know the plane first. But, the Cortex is on a 3 position switch and one of them is OFF, so I can turn it off and on in flight.
