My new 72" 3DHS Extra 330

[gyro]

Just one for servo, RX, and ignition. A123 2S 2300mAh

That's what I was planning on, but I got two of the a123 batts just in case.

Not sure if this is a "build thread" or not, so feel free to move this post to its own spot, Gyro.

Got the 72 build underway. I have had about two hours to mess with it so far, so my progress is quite slow. Holes cut into the fuse, elevator and rudder horn slots cut and dry-fitted.

Maidened my 72 Extra today Joe Smith maidened it for me and I flew the second flight but he landed it for me because of heavy cross winds. I also maidened my 41" edge

RC Girl, that is fantastic, Congrats! I'm sure you couldn't have found a better guy to do the maiden for you! How did you like it on the second flight? Also, what were your thoughts on the 41" Edge?

I really like the extra it's so stable I like the edge too, I still need to trim it and make sure the CGs set good because it was really windy today and I wasn't able to tweak it by well

Really glad the flights went off without any trouble, and that you like the planes. Now it's time to start making some videos and posting pics of them!
