EF 58" Extra-300 BUILD THREAD -- ELECTRIC!

[Graham]

Hi All,

The extra's are now here and ready to go and as I believe Dan has sold out of all of his 1st shipment of 58" extras!!!

I am hopefully receiving mine tomorrow, it is the red and blue version and is going to be all electric powered!!

Here is my setup:

Torque Revolution Motor and Airboss 80A speed Controller running on an APC-E 15x8 prop
Flight Power Evo Lite 5S1P 3700mAh batteries
Hitec HS225MG servos on ailerons and elevator and a Hitec HS5625 on rudder
Hitec Electron 6 receiver

I am hoping for an all up weight of around 5.5lbs and it should be ballistic on this with 10minutes plus flying time from the batteries.

As I believe the model goes together really easily and can be ready to flying within a day, tedious work such as the cutting of the trim on the tail plane to mate to the fuz is done etc etc

I will be providing a build thread and lots of pics and videos very soon.

any questions fire away,

cheers

Graham

How's the covering? I am interested in this as a glow plane, and I'm wondering if the covering will hold up better than it does on Fliton stuff and the Reactor.

[Graham]

Covering quality issuperb and has a really nice finish.

The model is brilliant, the quality is awesome and the finish and lightness is unbelievable, I cannot wait to fly this thig the power is going to be ballistic.!!!!

Some pics of the build so far, this thing is going togther sooo easily, loads of extras are included and alot of the tedious work has already been done!

Nice pics Graham. Looks like you have made quite a bit of progress.
Covering is Ultracote.

cheers Chris and an absolutely awesome model as usual from you

Out of interest where did you mount your speed controller, just want to make sure I get it right so it doesn't over heat etc.

cheers

A few pics of my build guys. You can see my ESC is mounted just behind the bulk head graham

[Graham]

Well after another few hours of doing the little other bits shes ready to go, made up with it what an absolute pleasure it is to build, the quality is just awesome, everything goes where it should and with 100% accuracy.

The bad news is I gotta wait until the weekend to fly it now! but as soon as i do I will get some vids and pics together.

Nice flying and the build looks really straightforward.

Can't wait to get mine... been on the list for a while.

Chris, when do you expect to get them in?

[Graham]

the build is really easy on this model, it took me two evenings and that was taking my time and stopping to take pics etc, this can easily be put together in one day I would imagine.
