Extreme Flight 48" MXS-EXP

I got this airplane a few months ago, and absolutely love this airplane. The build was very straight forward. The only complaint I have is that the motor mount accommodates the recommended torque motor, and that motor only. I can't afford that, and I had a spare motor laying around, so I had to shorten the motor mount quite a bit. Other than that, I love it!

Motor: AXI 2820/12
ESC: Dynam 50 amp
Servos: HS-65 MG (ailerons), HS-5065 Mg on the rudder, and an HS-85 MG on the elevator.
RX: Spektrum AR7000
Batteries: SkyLipo 4s

The 48" MXS still holds the record with me for most flights on one airplane, she was awesome and a lot of fun.

One thing from above that I disagree with is about the motor options. I ran both a SunnySky from BuddyRc and a Motrolfly from SubsonicPlanes..... And they both fit with no firewall mods. Didn't even have to make new holes, they mounted fine to the stock blind nuts.

I once had to mod a motorbox...it was on a Sebart Sebach, which had a cage mount, and I moved it back so I could mount a Motrolfly on it.

I'd be interested to see how you did your modification.

I just cut it right in the middle, about 3/4" total cut out. I then glued it back in place and fiberglassed the bejesus out of it. Still a great flying plane though, and my dog loves to chase it around

Do you have any issues with cooling of the motor? Since the middle hole will be covered by a spinner, the two outside holes would seem to channel air "around" the motor...what kind of motor temps are you seeing?

[MENTION=2]SnowDog[/MENTION] the plane actually comes with some baffles that go right behind those two holes and direct air over the motor. Nice feature by extreme flight.
