Thanks for the comments guys. I will let ya'll know how the maiden go's. Bryant your Yak looks great also. How is the landing gear holding up, It seems kind of soft, Have you bent yours on landings yet. I really enjoyed the build now I can't wait to get this thing in the air.

The gear has been fine. EF says the gear is like that on purpose so it will give in the event of a hard landing rather than having the airframe and gear plate taking the shock. I hope to try it out with some harrier landings this weekend! I am getting pretty comfortable with it after 5 or 6 flights. This plane and the BME 58 is a perfect combo.

I like Fromeco or Smart-Fly if I have to run regulators.

Thanks for the info Bryant. let us know how the harriers go, How's the power band on the BME 58. I'm running a Area 51 it has a very good power band. This is my second Area 51, My first 51
pulls my Stinger around like the plane was'nt even there. From what ive seen so for, Extreme Flight is one top notch company, Their products and service are second to none.

Hi pyroM!KE let us know how those TS-170's work for you. I'm running the 170's also they are noisy but have a lot of power. I got $60.00 off of the five that i ordered from Tower.

Maybe I dont understand how the servos are regulated to 6 volts or something..I just need to know how to cut the 2 cell lipo volts down..Do I do it with a bec or what? What is everyone using on this EF yak for this? Sorry Im a noob at giant scale..

kirbdog · 07-10-2009, 10:17 PM

IM USING 1 A123 2300 MAH PACK WITH NO REG SAME ON THE IGNITION WORKS GREAT

pyroM!KE · 07-10-2009, 11:48 PM

COuld someone show me a picture of the throttle setup? I would be gratefull....

pyroM!KE · 08-10-2009, 02:20 PM

I got my maiden in yesturday and all I can say is WOW! This is the first time I have ever flown a Giant scale before, coming from nitro burners..Didnt have any issues and just a couple clicks of trim and a bit of mixing (thanks Josh) it flies with authority..Heres my setup..
DLE 55 really surprised me even being on the breakin flights, Pretty sure it will be a powerhouse.
7955's everywhere
A123 Rx 2300mah noBS
A123 Ignition 1100mah noBS
DX7
This is the best plane I have ever flown and I havent got to wring it out yet..This would be great 1st gasser for anyone..Verry smooth build.Not any isseus..I consider myself being an intermediate pilot and with the dual rates set low I almost think you could train someone how to fly because this thing really floats..Im in love!!

Awesome job Extreme Flight on this truly incredible Frame

JoeAirPort · 08-10-2009, 02:45 PM

Glad you like it. It has a floaty feel to it for sure. Flies like a much bigger plane. I think it's the huge fuse.

pyroM!KE · 08-14-2009, 09:46 PM

Question.....
What is everyones weight?
What is the point of everyones CG?
Thanks
