Extreme Flight 76/83" MXS

That looks like a real turd, Such a shame they ripped the scheme. The canopy looks like a edge v3 ripoff. At first glance it looks like the EF plane, when you look closer, you can see it's just another wanna be turd, I will say they know how to get cheap shipping. All the way from China it's only $127.

Can you imagine the nightmare of tying to get this turd replaced when it arrives with the normal UPS boot prints, and damage. Even so, I just don't see how they can ship it so cheap. Sorry to bring up shipping costs again , lol

LOL... you mean this boot print?

 

[AKfreak]

See, that's it? Yeah those boot prints

The fact that it's right after the Fragile stencil is pure irony. Also tells you that they don't give a hoot.

I once heard the doorbell rings an looked outside... a cute young blonde in brown shorts was literally running back to her brown truck in full sprint. Thinking that she probably heard about my reputation I thought noting of it. Expecting a plane, I opened the door, and there was a hole in the top of the box that looked like it took a 12 gauge shell at ten yards.

I took a pic with my phone to send to EF for instructions just in case, but when I opened the box, whatever made the hole missed everything inside and there was no damage at all. whatever made the hole could not have gone that far into the box because the wing was the only thing in-line between the front and back of the box. Just lucky I guess.

I had a fork lift go through my plane box

Well, unless someone comes forth to dispute it, I guess I will stake my claim as the owner of the first production 76/83 MXS to be destroyed.
Was in a high alpha harrier, the right wing was removed by a 33% extra, plane went dead and nosed in from ~75'

On the plus side, when they called for people to put planes on the runway for award voteing, I put the wreck out as a joke and wound up getting voted 'best of show'.

Is the motor and RC bits salvageable? I have been flying with jet guys and their crashes are literally fireballs where very little survives.

Aww man, Arkole, that is a bummer. Really sorry to hear that You just put that plane together and it was flying so nicely at the Tennessee FLI!

 

[AKfreak]

That sucks, what caused the mid air? What's there fault of anyone? I hate when stuff like that happens, because it is completely avoidable. Also the attachments don't appear to be working on my ipad. Not sure if they are working in a PC. That is one expensive best of show award.

After removing half a pound of dirt, the motor spun up fine, esc and servos check out as well. (Other than the one from the right wing as we never found it) all four batts had too much cosmetic damage for me too feel comfortable testing them. (Two 2s 1300s and two 5s 5000s)

The spotter for the other plane came over and apologized after it was over saying he should have been more clear to the pilot about my position. My spotter tried to warn me but it came through too fast for me to get out of the way since I was essentially in a hover.
