Default Re: New Extreme Flight RC 48" Extra 300 EXP Build

The first thing I did was pull out the iron and go over all the seams to make sure eveything was sealed. I went over the high stress areas with ca and organized all the hardware to make things go fast and easy. I took a couple pictures of the airfoiled tail surfarces with some backlight so you can see the geodetic construction which helps in preventing warping in the surfaces, yet makes for a very strong lightweight structure. The airfoiled surfaces really help this plane excell in flight performance. Also, as you can see it doesn't take any soecial attention to hinging the elevator to acheive the close to 90 degree throw, just push the surface on the hinges and push them just about flush, then deflect the surface all the way and you'll see what I mean. Another nice bonus you'll see is there is no need to cut or trim any covering other than the cooling exit hole in the bottom of the fuse, everything else is done at the factory. This plane has an extremely high level of pre-fabrication to make the build process and fast and painless as can be for the customer.
