    Could you show us a pic when the plane is loaded in the car... :oblong: Edit, never mind. I found a picture of the poor Audi with that bad boy loaded. Impressive logistic.

    What Wheels to use for 35% plane?

    Vern, ask Herve at PAU why. There seam to be some diverging mentality btw US and EU regarding this matter. For instance fiberglass models appear to be more comon here in the EU, than in the US where more guys seam to prefer built up models. Not only this, but also powerboxes from Emcotec, or 3W...

    What Wheels to use for 35% plane?

    I agree with the White Rose argument that wheels are for rolling and the landing gear for shock absorbation. Purhaps I'm biased by having WR wheels myself on my 70cc, but I like this item which is a first class product. Imagine being able to give such a statment towards a simpel product like a...

    How much expo for maiden flight

    Thanks, yup the jitter is gone and I love flying this thing. What a feeling, it flies so much better than my GP Revolver 70. Eventhough it's a totally different type of plane. However, on my seventh flight I noticed that the idle all the suddenly had raised considrable compared to previous...

    How much expo for maiden flight

    Thepamster, I think you're right eventhough some others might think differently. For me the nervousness ment that I trippel checked everything, asked for advice, selected a good day, and left very little for a chance. Also, purhaps sharpen my focus for the task. In the end I was rewarded with a...

    How much expo for maiden flight

    Bbcorvette, oh I was nervous but it is all part of the game. I just choosed to be at the controls for my first giant. I just liked and agreed to what thepamster said. In hindsight, what would a maiden be without some nervs.

    How much expo for maiden flight

    So now it's done. Maiden this evening with a bud of mine. The flight left nothing to wish for as it could not been a better maiden in my opinion. I ended up having a bit more throw than recommended low rate by EF as I thought it was too low. The throw was approx 35* rud with 30% expo, elev 30*...

    Just plain sexy!

    Vern, I bought your wheels which you sent to Sweden and then you refounded me for the extra charge after postage was paid. You are an honest and good man. Your product is top notch. I wish there were more people like you. I'll come back for more business.

    How much expo for maiden flight

    Pamster, yes I want to maiden my plane for myself. Allthough I will have a buddy at my shoulder for support. Seams like 30% expo is the general recommendation and that is what I will use together with low rate deflection of the control surfaces.

    How much expo for maiden flight

    The servo arms I got installed are 1,75" long. Using the Futaba 12FG I belive capable of 2048 resolution. But as said, i don't do 3D. I wish I could but I don't. I would love to be able to hover around with the smoke on but I can't see that happening in the near future. I will just fly it safe.

    How much expo for maiden flight

    Thanks guys, Yes I'll use the mfg low rate. Ok about 30-35% expo. As stated, I'm looking to get this plane into IMAC style of flying. But I like the though of to having several rates pre programed. I guess I could have one IMAC rate and one 3D rate, or at least that is what the rate might end...

    How much expo for maiden flight

    So I got this EF 91" that has been taking me way too long to put together. Equiped it with the best items I could find, taking my time to build it as close as perfect as I could. It did end up being a lot more expensive than planed which I don't really mind as long as it full fill my...

    Baffled on Baffling...

    Check Krill online store, it's called alutex board. I applied it differently. Myself made two fitting plugs and used these as molds for fiberglass. Skickat från min iPad med Tapatalk

    Show us your cowl exit air pics

    My first gas engine plane. Hoping that the louvers together with the baffled inlet and the cut out for the tunnel is enough. If not there is still room for one more louver in the cowl and more opening holes for the tunnel.
