I see Chief Aircraft shows these planes in stock on there homepage today. So whos going to be the first to get one?? I would like to see build pics. I am not sure if I want to do IMAC at present so I am looking for something like this. A big fun fly plane.

I have one on order at LHS. Should be here tue march 4! I will posts picks weights etc... I don't compete so I figured what the hey. It includes rudder servos tray, metal servos arms, fg pilot, alum spinner. Hard to beat for less than 1k. I will be looking into installing pipes or cans, if it doesn't look to difficult.

Just got notified that mine should ship in 24 to 48 hours so mid-week next week it'll be on my doorstep..

I've already downloaded the manual and am looking at replacing the 3 servo rudder tray setup with a "simple Seiko" servo.

Hitec 5955's all the way around other than that and a DA150 for power.

Nice to see the hardware package is so complete......this is definitely the wave of the future.

I am thinking 2 9156's for the rudder? I can not believe they call for 3 servos with 120oz of torque? I like to use the same servos all the way around. There is not a big price difference?? I am worried two super servos on the rudder aren't going to be enough?

Sevans16 · 03-04-2008, 09:17 PM

She's REAL!!!
Pics, BIG BOX, dash panel, rudder- drilled for hinges and controld horn, Yeah should be quick build. More to follow this weekend I actually get her unpacked!!

B*tch SlapingMama · 03-04-2008, 09:26 PM

Is it in one box or two.....just want to know how many "wheaties" to eat tomorrow before Mark's gets delivered.

Sevans16 · 03-04-2008, 09:43 PM

Two boxes, that one is just the Fuse!! with rudder and landing gear taped to the side. The other box has wings cowling etc... Same packing as there 1/3 scale Cap.

I am sure this plane will fly great, thats why they have the pros do demos on them so they prove that the plane doesnt limit you... well anyways I am anxious to see this thing go together, I might want one to practice freestyle with and not have a huge price tag in the back of my head. Well if I could do freestyle thats what I would do.

BOSSIER_ROB · 03-05-2008, 12:51 AM

Cracky, I'll borrow your DA until he sends you the other Extra.

madmax · 03-05-2008, 01:22 AM

Done some cleaning up in here guys, please keep this on topic and concise. No bitchin' allowed, it's cool to see this thing finally hit the market.

Thanks, MD

UPS truck just left the driveway. Man, these are some big boxes. Glad that Mark decided to call in "sick" today. Seems he may have the "flew"

**Cracky** · 03-05-2008, 11:24 AM

That was good of him...you know, making sure that his co-workers didn't get sick too....
