Extremeflight Extra 300 EXP 48"

[pepatrick]

Yep...this is true. So...how many planes do you have...THAT ARE NOT FLYING NOW!!!!

[reyn3545]

Actually, only 1 that's not flying now! I finally sold the 100cc Extra, so the only giant scale I have is the Yak, and it's waiting on a heart transplant! The KingCat is ready to fly, only waiting on me to grow a pair and give Mike a call.

I do have 2 motors laying around, begging for planes to put them in... the 100cc out of the Edge and a 3W 157 that I traded my 12z for. I'm thinking about the Knox Hobbies big bipe.... it's made for a 100cc, but it will take a 150. Hmmm... 30 pounds with a 9 horsepower motor on it.... should be fun!

[pepatrick]

That would be kind of fun. I like the Knox bipe. Its a nice looking bird. Im still thinking 50% cub or TBM Decathlon for next year.

[reyn3545]

If you want a 100cc motor for it... I can hook you up... but, you're probably going to put a V6 into it!

[pepatrick]

Cubby or Decathlon will get DA-170 on cans or pipes. I have the DA...and most of the servos...so just waiting on a new budget.

[pepatrick]

The 50% ers are made for 150 and up. I will more than likely drop a DA-170 in it...however the DA-200 could be fun too.

So..how did we get of topic. Back to the 300 EXP....It has officially replace my acromaster as my favorite electric. My kids are cleaning out the garage (I think aliens have taken my real kids and replaced them with ones that work)...So..garage and build table will be clean this afternoon. The table is big enough for 2 planes such as a unbuilt EF 58" extra and a nearly 3 year old H9 Cessna 182. My bets are on the Extra getting built first...like tonight...

[reyn3545]

I guess it would be improper for me at this point to ask about the Carden that's still in a box somewhere?


Honestly, I'm not hooked... I could quit this stuff any time. I just don't want to.

[reyn3545]

Actually, I'm thinking about a 58 inch also... trying to decide between the EF and the PA... something about tying 2 2100's together just brings out the animal in me!

Chris' plane is out now, so it could get the nod.

[pepatrick]

Not impressed with the PA. Steve even offered to make me a deal on one since I live down the street from him. Steve has always been good to me..but I gotta go with the EF on this one.

Well after months of filming and weeks of post production, HPP is proud to present: "Our EXP Summer Vacation." This has to be the most fun (and energy) we have ever put into filming and flying one plane. A fast build (took me 5 hours including radio install) and a fantastic flyer. We took it to the lake three times and to several fly-ins. It's light and true with extreme throws and no bad habits. The best thing about this film finally being done is that now maybe RJ will let me fly it...he's been hogging it all summer! If you already have one I hope you'll watch and enjoy our EXP adventures. If you don't have one yet, have a look and see what you're missing! -Fred
