Great Planes NEW 38% Extra

[Sevans16]

Stock Hardware


1.5" SWB full arms(3")

[Sevans16]

Wing tube is 50 x 1295mm
I bought a CF one from DA not sure what brand it is.

[Sevans16]

DA-170 with JTec in cowl mufflers.


Compact design that barely clears!!

Do you guys think the unihub will work ok tho?, is about the same in costs compared to the SWBs, and give it more of a bling bling effect. Also I dont see the unihub arms double arm in the airwild site.

Sevans, Im putting in a 3W 150 CS , do you think it will fit with standard Jtecs?

[Sevans16]

I don't know much about 3W?? Mine only has about 1/4-3/8" clearance so std mufflers on my engine would not work. I know my buddys mufflers on a 3W are round on the ends but they look very large. If you can get compacts i would!! Oh I see our also talking JTec's they said they only offer compacts for the DA-170 now!! I would assume 3W-170 would be the same??

my plane with the 150 was stupid power... I can only imagine it would qualify for redbull with a 170!!!

Guys, have you done anytihng to lighten up the plane besides the wing tube, I received that already, and ordered light tires also. Any pointers would be great.

Wow this thread is really dead. Anyway how did the 170 do? I am looking at getting one wanted to know if it is worth it.
Thanks,

I would love to see this plane with a nice scheme.

[Sevans16]

I have about 8 flights on my 38% Extra now. It flies really nice, however today I noticed my ailerons acting weird. I found that the ball link ends had stripped out. I was lucky to save the plane. The metal link is just lose in the ball link end and will slop about. I am running 9156 servos in it. So I will have to replace the ends with good Ol' Dubro HD ends. Has anyone else had this problem??

Also I saw this video of Frank Noll flying one and the horizontal stabs just fell off. I had not heard of this before?? Did I miss something?? Whats the deal with the stabs??

that was a earlier proto type I believe and during some testing apartently there was a little mishap and the repair finally gave out.

I would not worry about it due to the fact that if their was a problem you would see people hammering the subject. the plane does fly awesome though. and I personally think the scheme is just cool as heck. very good looking.

My friend has one with a DA-170 and it moves it around pretty good.

We had the stab attachment tabs start separating on ours after a fun fly 3D flight. I had to wick some CA into the seam to secure it but I will probably lay a layer of glass cloth along the tabs on to the stab surface to make sure it doesn't separate again.

I'll bet the new BME 150LT would be good on this plane... Hmmmmm
