This has been a real joy to fly. I have it equipped with DA50 and a MTW Canned exhaust. Has ample power to perform just about everything I can throw at it...

Lighter Power Board is an ultra-lightweight battery combiner for two batteries providing uninterrupted power to the receiver and servos.

It operates on almost all common on-board voltages, depending on other on-board electronics used.

It is a flight safety device that, in the event of a short circuit on board R/C planes and helicopters, disconnects faulty equipment (servo, smoke bomb, nav lighting, etc.). In the figure below, it is installed between servos and receiver protecting the system.

Here's the first episode where I'll unbox the La-7 and show all of the pieces parts. If you ever wanted to know how a CYModel is currently packaged, check it out.

I am not trying to sell these...I'm merely documenting what I can about this model. I'm trying to show everything that I'd like to know if possible before buying the model.

Hello guys, I just purchase a DA 170 motor and would like some info on the set-up combination for a Cubcrafters fx3 carbon cub.

What would be my option on the headers & canister for the motor?

I decided that instead of buying a DS-16, that I'd just spend $32 and add switches to the empty SD and SE switch locations on my trusty DS-14. In this video I'll show you how easy it is.

Here's the first episode of a video series where I'll be putting together the 20cc Phoenix Model A6M2 Zero. We'll also visit a REAL Nakajima-built Mitsubishi A6M2 Zero on display at the National Museum of the United States Air Force™ at Wright-Patterson AFB near Dayton, OH.

Split-screen! I hope to save you some time when learning exactly how the DPC-11 works and EXACTLY how the HSB Brushless servos are programmed with both parameters and center/end points.

Remember two things:
The configuration is not written to the servo until you hit the "Write All" button. Even if you save the config to a file!
When setting end points, the servo WILL rotate 34 degrees from where you've set the new center, in the direction you're setting. BE CAREFULL when programming the servo in a model and connected to a control surface!

I call this my pre-op/post-op/recovery plane.
It's served me well being a small, lightweight, simple electric I fiddled and flew during the time I was dealing with osteo/hip issues and hip replacement recovery.

It was perfect for keeping my flying chops up when I couldn't handle the big guy planes. I'm good now and can leap tall buildings, but this plane has definitely filled a void and is an absolute blast to take out on a moment's notice.
It will do anything in the book!!

I've since added the side-force-generators on the wing tips and they truly enhanced performance even more.

Pictured with the 52Extra is an older EF 300E 58" I acquired and have since passed that one on to a friend to enjoy.

Acquired this beautiful ship a few years back, and gave it some love and attention, of which it didn't need much, but I graced it with new batteries, fuel tank/ plumbing, and much needed wire/equipment management, and a good detailing... etc.

It was already a contest proven, award winning airplane in the Unlimited IMAC class, so I didn't want to alter it much at all.

Picked up this little guy for a song, incomplete and nearly unstarted.. I more like rescued it from the trash can. Whomever worked on it prior had a rough start, but I was able to pull it out from the ruins. Still haven't flown it, but plan to in very near future. I call it the nicest $100 ARF I've ever bought.

BME 102, Spektrum stuff, etc.. should be a great flyer, and the engine is strong! Looking forward to this one, and getting a direct comparison to my Extra 330L. Most things considered it's set up with nearly identical equipment, so it will be a great comparison in airframes.
