I dunno...I think Steve may have been playing when he said that in that post on RDRC. If not, the power to Jose, cuz that was a lot of work! If definitely can be done though.

Has that plane back together,, UUUUUUUUMMMMMMMM, ,, , that fuse was destroyed,,

B Rocka · 05-06-2007, 12:20 PM

I dunno, I think it's possible,....but I think Steve was just playing.

ifly3d · 05-06-2007, 04:13 PM

I think he is building a fuselage and using the other old parts.

Tweek · 05-07-2007, 08:56 AM

Yeah, I think Steve said he bought another fuse kit and used it to make templates to rebuild the olf fuse from the turtle deck forward. I've got a video of him flying it, doing about a 13 minute huck with all sorts of crazy stuff on the deck. It's in DVD format, anyone know how to convert that to mpg, or can I just upload the dvd format straight to the video site here?

He hucked it in Raleigh alright,, I can't see how it he rebuilt that, I wouldn't worry about it,, but then again I don't build anyway,,

RobertV · 05-10-2007, 08:44 AM

Guys,

It's all true! Jose came by yesterday to get some Vess Props and I asked him what he was flying now. He said "I put the Extra back together, it turned out it wasn't that bad". He said he flew it yesterday!

FYI - He also went to see Al and Kevin and bought a new JTEC/Radiowave ARF Extra as a "backup".

My hat's off to Jose! He goes for it both in his flying and building!

Dave,

Hay guys its Jose just want to pop in let you know what happened & why
First let me say I fly my planes like I hate them with that it helps keep the
Pucker factor to a minimal and I love the rush of doing 3D if I am not
Twisting and spinning all over I am not having fun so with that here’s what
Happened I was doing my usual wildness as I took off I tern over to my spotter
Jams Tailor and tell him hay my engine is not running right but caught in the
Moment and the crowed I did the unthinkable I put the plane in a bad
Position cussing it to stall then hit the wrong sw throwing in crow the engine
Did not have enough power to pull it out, I have done this many times
But always had the power to pull out, but not the case this time
So there you have it, If your not willing to lose a plane don’t fly it, we take a
Chance every time we fly.
By the way the JTEC 330L is repaired as of 5/08/07 maiden flight on
5/09/07 if weather permits what do you guys think the weight came in
The original was 42 lbs dry what do you think it is now? 43.65 lbs
