Re: 60% BH EXTRA, HOW BIG IS TOO BIG ?
Just an FYI guys,
For any of you that fly the Realflight Simulator... I am in the process of finishing up flight models and accurate Snapasaurus Color Schemes for Elie's 50% edge and the new 60% 260. They should be all done in the next few evenings and I will post them on the knifeedge site, but if you'd rather have them emailed to you I can do that too... just let me know. After telling Elie about this I think I have convinced him to buy the sim just to try them out. If he tells me things to change I will do my best to keep em flying close to the real deal. Anyway ... that's it... thought some of you might be interested. Take care and keep huckin! Scott |

Re: 60% BH EXTRA, HOW BIG IS TOO BIG ?
Thanks for your effort Scott, that's cool and thanks.
I am back from the Nall, I took the Extra and flew it 3 times but on the last flight One of the servos was fried, the extension melted and another servo died also, I am not sure what happened but I was getting comfortable with the airplane and flew it hard, I will replace the 4 servos, extensions and take it a little easy next time. |

Re: 60% BH EXTRA, HOW BIG IS TOO BIG ?
Probably the outer case got so hot that it melted the insulation on the servo wires that were touching it.
Snap, I saw your plane in person last week. Very nice. Those knife-edge passes on the main flight line with the wing tip about a foot from the turf were BAD ASS!!!. I about made you an offer on it when you had it for sale for $1200 OBO. (I know your buddies were screwing with you). |

Many opinions but not sure what really happened, hoping it will not happen again, not only it was for sale for $1200 but delivery was included, the plane is a great flier just a little short on power. |

Anything is possible, the servos were matched perfectly on all surfaces, hardly any draw sitting on the ground. |

Re: 60% BH EXTRA, HOW BIG IS TOO BIG ?
Snap if i were you i would cover those servo wires with something just incase those wires heat up too much, then you might have a fire in the wing? I don't want you to have bad luck with the plane. I truly love the way this thing looks. Its just that i don't wanna see your BEAST die! BTW, could it just be the servos that you are using? have you tried any different servo options? Just my suggestion. Good luck! IT looks awesome! Take Care! Can't wait to see it at the Snap a Huckfest!

My mind is craven to know what happened?

By the way I got a nice looking Carbon fiber spinner from Bill for the plane, next time I go fly it will be on, should be soon |
