Yes, I'm with you on that...I've had numerous issues with the 3DHS sukhoi and lets just say that they have a very blind following who will go to bat for them no matter what the situation is...

Anyway, come summertime I plan to have another one of the EF extras! IMHO they 3D better than any plane in this size category.

I'm with you on that! There's nothing like them!

mahak213 · 01-12-2010, 02:46 AM

This is how my last one turned out as a result of a damaged RF board in my DX7... almost won my clubs crash of the year with this one! It went in on a downline when I lost everything, engine just idling and everything.

Got my Extra back into the air on a snowy airfield. Flew great, and guess what - while landing, undercarriage tore apart the bottom of the fuse. Need to make a new ply mount and I've been thinking about making the UC from a hard wire - should be more flexible than carbon version.

danielph · 01-25-2010, 11:48 AM

Oh, sorry to hear and see that.

Anasazi · 01-28-2010, 02:26 PM

Meanwhile I've bought a Funtana S with OS FS 91. 1.7m wingspan, 3200g AUW

It's not going to help me repair my Extra

BR289 · 01-28-2010, 06:28 PM

No worries, we'll be getting more.....

mahak213 · 02-15-2010, 01:03 AM

Just ordered another

Also ordered up some Airtronics 94761s to replace the 225mg's. Hopefully should be way less slop than the Hitecs.

mahak213 · 04-11-2010, 05:24 PM

Still waiting on my extra...

Anyway, what lipo receiver packs and regulators are you guys using? Would like to ditch my NiMH setup.

I just use a NiCad pack on mine. You want it as light as possible so I would use a small 1200-1400 Lipo pack to keep the weight down and still get plenty of time between charges.

mahak213 · 04-12-2010, 01:09 PM

well I have a lipo already, I was mostly curious as to what regulators work well.

Friedclutch · 04-29-2010, 12:30 AM

Grab the awesome Castle 10amp reg. I realize 10 amps is way overkill but the Castle is only 20 bucks and is the size if a stick of trident gum. Tiny... and simple. My local HObby town has em in stock because the R/C car guys use them. The default (stock) output voltage is 6v. If you want a different voltage you will need to get a Castle programmer. I just run the 6v. The hitec servos are happy and so is the spektrum 7100.

Edit/add. I also run a turnigy 8amp reg/bec from Hobbycity. It works well but is kind of big and is double the weight of the castle. Running lipo/ion in all my planes now. worry free charging and light. Will never look back.

mahak213 · 04-29-2010, 12:39 AM

Thanks, I actually picked up a smart-fly reg after talking to the guys over there. And for reference, I just took a look at that castle reg you mentioned. The default voltage is 5.1v, so if you are looking for a bit more out of those servos, the programmer may be your ticket.

Thompst · 05-06-2010, 10:33 AM

Does anyone have plans for the fueselage on this plane? It nosed in on a landing and i need to rebuild the first 9 inches of the bottom.

nitrobeast · 05-07-2010, 07:35 AM

Maybe EF can help you out?
