    The "I Need to Vent" thread

    Jesus helps me get through the tough times. He is there for all of us. Listening to Plumb's music is great too. And I am in IT, upgrade to Windows 10. It's actually a good product. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

    Extreme Flight 76/83" MXS

    I have a DA50 looking for a home and this plane looks promising. I will have to use a pitts muffler to pass my club's noise rules. Do you expect that I will be excessively nose heavy?

    dle 30 or eme 35

    I owned two DLE30 and was not impressed. OS33 is better or try the EME. BTW I think DLE55 are great engines.

    Jersey Modeler fuel system leaking

    I have owned this JM electric fuel system for two years. Now I have a small leak that has caused the glue to the fuel pump assembly and tank to fail. It looks to me that the leak is between the electric motor and the fuel pump. My last JM system didn't last that long either and this new issue...

    Sugesstions for a 60" EF 3D plane

    I have flown the 60" Extra and the 60" Edge - I like the Edge better. The Edge is a wonderful advanced 3D trainer and is easy for me to see in our gray skies. People say EXtra tracks better, but IMHO no 60" tracks well enough to impress me. They do 3D great and are just easy to throw in the car...

    Extreme Flight 76/83" MXS

    Very true GYRO - I agree there is a different culture at 3DRCF and I like it very much:)

    Extreme Flight 76/83" MXS

    AKfreak - BTW beautiful job cutting the cowl. But remember you are using a stock muffler, I need to use a heavy/large pitts muffler on my DA50 to pass the club noise standards. I will have an easy 4 ounces more than you on the engine and that's a significant amount on a plane this size. I did...

    Extreme Flight 76/83" MXS

    I cancelled my EF 76/83" MXS order yesterday. I was PM'd by a reliable source who owns the plane that he is not optimistic about how the plane/CG will handle a DA50 with a pitts muffler. I share his concern and will let others figure it out. I never found a good engine match for my EF 78" Extra...

    Extreme Flight 76/83" MXS

    Your point on the wheels is valid and I will buy Du-Bro if they wobble or are soft. I think the wheel pant design is fine for a plane this size. I have built about 6 EF ARF's and sometimes I do think the QC is lacking at the price point. But they do fly amazing and they hold up well, so I no...

    Extreme Flight 76/83" MXS

    Frankly the wheels on my EF 88" Edge suck too. They look good, but are worn out after 40 flights. But heck I don't care too much - easy to replace. And if you have a real issue with their products Chris is a fair minded person and I know he will do what he says he will do. My pitts weights...

    Extreme Flight 76/83" MXS

    Thanks for the DA50 build thread. The pictures are especially helpful. KEEP GOING! I have a DA50 on the shelf that runs too well to sell and just bought the EF 83" MXS last week. I must use a pitts muffler to pass noise rules at one of my clubs. I am concerned about the weight, but it seems to...

    Os gt33

    I am very interested in your engine, could you post or send me pictures? Is the muffler in good shape? What were the RPM numbers on the Xoar 20x6? I am 5150flyer at RCU, you can look at my buyer/seller ratings and see that I am a reasonable person and a serious buyer.
