My new 72" 3DHS Extra 330

Really???

Yup, really. I have same plane, same engine, but I have the smaller fortitude tank (8oz?). I set my timer for 12 minutes and it's activated by the ignition switch so it counts the time it takes to choke/start the engine and taxi to the runway. So I'm probably flying for a solid 10 minutes. I land with enough gas leftover for several go-arounds.

Best of luck! Give us a report. Also, I'd be interested in knowing exactly what you put in her. I'm thinking of getting into the 70" segment myself and I definitely want to try gas power and I'm looking for as much information as I can.

Hey guys, I'm making a checklist of things I should do before I fly my 72" Extra. What am I forgetting?

(1) check all plugs/connections
(2) inspect wires for damage
(3) make sure batteries are charged
(4) test control surfaces
(5) fuel her up
(6) Screw hatch on
