123 inch Extreme Flight Extra 300 !!!!!! SWEEEET

[BR289]

Yea, and I have seen those two piece cowls blow apart more than once....This setup on the Extra is perfect as a one piece plus its real easy to remove and VERY clean looking!

[EXTREME FLIGHT]

Its much easier to remove the single spinner bolt, 6 prop bolts and the 3 bolts that retain the cowl than the 20 or so screws on a 2 piece cowl.

Seems like all the EF affiliated posters support the one-piece cowl and everyone else (potential customers) want a 2 piece. I am now indifferent, but I was originally thinking "***" when I read the plane had a one piece cowl. I can see the pros/cons for both cases. After owning 2 40%ers with a split cowl and multiple 35%ers with a one piece cowl, I can say I prefer the split cowl. Not a deal breaker for me as I LOVE Extreme Flights products. This is the only wood 40%er ARF that I am interested in right now. I am really looking forward to the release of this plane.

I doubt the cowling being one or two pieces will slow down sales.....they're all sold anyway.

Also is the cowl gonna be the same type as the 50CC bird or is it gonna be a split cowl like on a Carden ?

Yea this is what i want to do,,on a 100cc version (if one comes out) we done this on a CA extra ,,But i reckon i would do it all again on a EF

From Australia mate...wow..I thought you was a southern Georgia boy....we done this ...and reckon...you must be from southern Australia......anyway...great looking scheme...I like it.

[Mithrandir]

if you are running a 3W, you need more effective baff'ling... a 2 piece cowl makes that job easier....

[3d "kid"]

didnt someone say NO 2 PIECE COWLING

Whats with the ....full stops....Ya right ,,the very southern tip,,thanks Dude

I dont see the benefit of a 2 piece cowl at all. I mean after initial setup, how often is the cowl coming off it, if at all?

As for the cooling on a 3W, easy enough.. get a DA

[cjcyclesrc]

Does the production model have a brace at the front like the 110" Yak?

[BR289]

The single cowl is ALOT easier than the two peice...It has nothing to do with my affiliation with Extreme Flight...its preferance. I have seen more than one two piece cowl come apart in flight.
The less screws the better...and the look is much cleaner....

We had an Aeroworks Yak blow off its cowling mid flight because of the two pieces splitting. Broke the canopy and part of the wing. I don't really want that happening on my brand new 40%. I will take my time and enjoy the one piece cowl. KISS Method works for me.
