    Extreme Flight 104 Extra

    I got a few more fun flights on my 104 yesterday. However, I once again noticed some flutter on my elevators, even with over 550 oz/in of torque on each one. This was only on full throttle level passes. I'd recently upgraded from 400 oz/in rated servos.... I'm running 2" arms and already plan...

    Servo torque help?

    I think you're posing an interesting question. I think ARF vendors specify the minimum rated servo specs, and understand that you may need a 1.5-2" arm for the surface to reach full deflection. If you look at the specs over the last few years, they've definitely gone upward, and I think that...

    72" Extra 330SC

    Thanks... stuff happens... I dropped the 72 off with my friend Humberto that has magic repair hands. I'm sure he'll have it fixed quickly. Needs the front plate of the motor box repaired as well, and there are some small chips in the cowl paint... but just that and the gear after a 60 foot...

    72" Extra 330SC

    @maxx4wd, Any progression on this? I delaminated both sides of my gear today in a pancake landing... (Accidentally hit the engine kill switch while learning my new Aurora 9x radio).

    DLE 120 Please Help!!!!

    I'd return it to the vendor you bought it from, and get them to run it and return it to you.

    Aeroplus 60cc / 92" Edge 540 V3 from Limitless Aero

    Excited to be getting my 92" back out this weekend. Haven't flown it in a month, and she's now got the fixed muffler, some Hitec HS-9370TH servos, a Fromeco Wolverine switch powering the Optima-9 Rx. Looking forward to the re-maiden Saturday.

    You don't think this will be enough? My thought was that it'd be pulling air from inside the fuse...

    Extreme Flight 104 Extra

    This is kinda of disconcerting... I'm giving some thought to cutting open my 104 to reinforce it now. I'm also interested to hear any thoughts/opinions/experiences from others with the 104. Anyone else out there notice any issues in the tails?

    Jacob, I'm going to move this discussion over to the 104 EF thread where it is more appropriate. Can you say where/what you saw? Any other mods?

    The stock GP, plus some spacers. Until I cut the cowl, I can't tell sure how close I am, but I think I'm within a few millimeters.

    I just don't enjoy the hinging part... luckily about half the arfs come with hinges done, so I just suck it up when it's epoxy time :) Ok, hinging is all done, on to installing some of the gear in my final bit of work for this weekend: Of course, gotta have some blue bling on the plane! One...
