Re: RichModel (PAU) Extra 330L

If it is bent back and welded, why can't you fly? I have not seen that extra fly yet. You keep dodging me.

As far as the burble: it does not seem like you have much time on that engine. You just may need to get some more time on it, so you can lean it out some. If you can't lean it out to make the burble go away with out it running too lean, more time may help.

The muffler stack blew off completely. It fell off in mid air and I made an emergency landing.

Re: RichModel (PAU) Extra 330L

I'm going to try to get my mom to take me out the the feild to just hang out with everyone.

Friday when I flew, my trimming adjustments to the alierons made it soooo much easier to hover. I'll try to explain it at the feild.

Re: RichModel (PAU) Extra 330L

Can you explain what you did on your ailerons?

Thanks

Re: RichModel (PAU) Extra 330L

The ailerons wernt exactly in trim, ever so slightly in a airbrake position. It made the tail track funny and I had to trim my rudder to compensate. When I pop into a hover, it wanted to thrash around real bad. I was hovering last sunday around 5 pm about 15 feet. I'm really getting comfortable hovering it since I fixed the alieron problem.

Gona get way on the deck tomarrow if the wind is good.

Upload some pics of your extra! I wana see it

Thanks Matt !! .

I will reinforce the landing gear area also, last saturday almost ripped off with the last landing.

I will upload some pics of the plane in flight.Also will try to link a You tube video tonight from home.

How did you fix your gear plate? did you have any pics?

I'll take pics and describe it when I take the landing gear off. I'm waiting for my dad to get back home because I left the airplane trailer keys in his truck lol. This time the landing gear itself actually cracked.
