    Savox 2230 flutter

    I have a Savox 2230 on the rudder of my EF 104 extra since around eight months. It has been working flawlessly but recently it starts to flutter when I give rudder input on the ground. This flutter is quite severe. I have tightened the rudder cables and still haven't been able to get rid of it...

    Carb pressure equlaization

    My DLE carb has a nozzle for carb equlaization should one want to use it. On the walbro carbs one needs to put a nozzle. So how important is it to have carb pressure equlization? Do you guys use it on all your planes? I'm getting a GP123 which comes with a walbro carb so just looking for input...

    Pull pull or Push Pull

    In many build threads I've come across guys who advocate push pull as the best way for the rudder setup. In the same thread there are guys who swear by the pull pull setup. So which is better? They must have their pros and cons! Though to be honest I thought pull pull was more popular but...

    Prop selection

    I have a 35% krill extra 330sc with a DLE 120. Was thinking of putting a 28/10 prop on it. Have narrowed it down to either a Falcon 28/10 or Mej 28/10 Evo or Mej 28/10 LF which is lighter than the Evo and I assume lighter than the falcon as well. What do you guys think?

    Manoeuvre help

    I've seen this manoeuvre a few times and would appreciate if someone could tell me the control inputs. Since I don't know what it's called, I'll try to describe it. The aircraft is put in an inverted orientation, throttle is added. The plane then does a fast inverted flat spin in one place...

    Powerbox or Powersafe receiver

    Currently am using a powerbox competition in my EF extra 104. Futaba is coming out with the R7018SB powersafe receiver soon I believe. Now am getting another airframe and was thinking of trying the powersafe RX. Which do you guys think is the way to go?

    DLE 111 issue

    When I start my DLE 111 for the first flight of the day the rpm fluctuates. It goes pretty high and then extremely low. It continues to do this quite a bit till I increase the throttle then it gets ok. As mentioned earlier this only happens before the first flight.. None of the engines in my...

    Dle 120 crankshaft assembly

    Guys is the crankshaft assembly the same for the Dle 120 and 111? I damaged the assembly in a crash and the 111 assembly is available. So if it's the same then I can be back in the air this weekend.

    EF 104 extra vs 3DHS 108 extra 330LT

    I'm flying an EF 104 extra but the other day my LHS got the 3DHS 108 330LT in the yellow colour scheme. Really nice looking plane! Am tempted to buy it but would like to hear from you guys who have flown both. Is it as great a 3D airframe as the EF?

    Savox 2230 info

    I recently installed a savox 2230 brushless servo on the rudder of my EF 104 extra. It works very well but I notice that when I power up the servos, sometimes it jitters quite a bit. Needless to say the rudder seems as if someone has hit it with a taser gun! This lasts for just a few seconds...

    Mejzlik LF series props

    Interested to know if anyone has tried these props. They are much lighter than the normal mejzlik props. Currently am running a mejzlik evo 28x10 on a DLE 120 and was thinking of trying the evo 28x10 LF.

    EF 104 Extra vs AJ Slick 104

    I have an EF 104 extra which as you all know is an awesome plane! The AJ 1o4 slick I believe is another great plane but I haven't flown one. So I was thinking it's time to get a slick as well :) But before I take the plunge I wanted to get opinions from guys who have flown both the EF extra as...

    DLE 120 Timing

    I bought a new DLE 120 from a fellow club member. He 's put bowman rings in it which is great but he's also changed the timing :( Would appreciate if someone could tell me what the timing is set from the factory. Also if you guys have changed it then what timing have you set? Thanks in advance.

    Radio lockout

    Today I lost my EF 104 extra due to what I think was a radio lockout :( I was using a JR XG14 with two RG731 BX receivers running xbus, Powerbox competition SRS, two 3300mAh lipos with the receivers and a 2100mAh lipo on ignition. It was my second flight of the day and I was doing knife edge...
