    78'' Extra

    Here are a few more pics of the final setup. One thing i to note is the elevator servo installation is shown backwards in the manual. When you install the elevator servos you want the output shaft facing the front of the plane.

    I'm not sure but it would be awe:flyer:some if you could. The simple charger is another cool thing butits also pricey for what it is. The fromeco stuff is pricey but good and they have great customer service. I called the other day like the minute they opened and they didn't pick up. I didn't...

    Roger i'm using that Tech Aero IBEC. It's very simple and seems to do the job. That's the one my friend has used on a few of his 50cc planes. I like it so far.

    Hitec Aurora 9X Just reveled at the Nuremberg Toy Fair

    I'm very interested in this radio. I think Mike said they are working on expanding the number of channels in the future. Either way 9 is about as many as i need at the moment.

    I just use the stock settings on the charger. Never hooked it up to the computer. I should get fancy since i paid all that money :p

    Since you're not lazy and are probably doing your research(unlike me :p)...why a123? Not trying to be rude, i really want to know. I wouldn't mind switching if there is good reason since i only have a few batteries at the moment. I went with lipos since that's what i know. People use small 2s...

    Extreme Flight Owners Thread

    No tach yet. I'm really comfortable with lipos from my electrics so i went that route. After three 8 minute flights i was down to 7.6v but i was hitting 7.4-7.3 in the air just before landing on the last flight. I don't see the problem since all my servos including throttle are HV. I haven't...

    It's a sweet engine. I love the power i'm getting on this plane! It would haul the smaller and lighter 70''-74'' like a rag doll! I can't wait to try the bigger prop :thumbup: Thanks for your help and answering questions Chad! It gives me extra confidence in my purchase!

    Sorry to post this everywhere but for those not sub'd to my build log or EF thread here is the EME35 in action. I'm running it a little too rich and will be putting a vess 20b on it for next weekend. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jrn6Z43M_t0 This is only the 3rd time running the engine.

    78'' Extra

    3rd flight on the Extra http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jrn6Z43M_t0 Still got some tuning and breaking in to do on the engine but it flies GREAT! I love it. After 7 minutes i had at least half a tank left :D

    Still needs more tuning and this is only the 3rd time running the engine. There is some burbling that should go away as i lean it out but it runs great and has lots of power. This is with a 19x8 xoar but i'll be trying a vess 20b next weekend. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jrn6Z43M_t0

    Well this is my first gas engine but i'm using 30-1 fuel to oil mix and will run it that way for about 4 gallons. Then i'll switch to a full synthetic oil and a 40-1 mix. Some manufactures recommend a break in prop(usually a little smaller than the normal flight prop)but the EME said to break it...

    I'll be putting the EME35 in my MXS. I just did the maiden on my 78'' Extra with EME35. I'll post the video when it's done uploading. Nothing fancy since i'm breaking in the engine, the video is of the third flight. Still needs more tuning and break in time.

    I want one...but i'm just finishing my build on a 78'' Extra so it'll have to wait. The 78'' MXS is next on my list so it'll be after that one as well.

    78'' Extra

    I dropped the servos in and drilled holes for the mounting hardware. I'll drop some thin CA in the holes before i stop by the hardware store for wood screws. The hardware for the ball links that came with the plane were a little big for the spot on RC arms but i'll pick up those in the morning...
