If you want quick info on the Pilot-RC planes you can also goto www.cerebus.co.za and check under the Products:Pilot-RC section

Nice ! Looks good !

I wanted to say thanks to Tony at Pilot-Rc. I had a TOC1 Yak that I killed the cowl on. I talked with him and he said his would work. Got it from Troy Built last week and the fit is PERFECT. Thanks Tony.

I am glad the cowl can work. I will collect more information to check what my plane can work with SD plane. so I can offer more for the SD fans.
thank you.

Hi all,
sorry about the slow build, the plane is at my father's place and now that I am back at school, it is hard to build and put up with school at the same time...

will post some pics tommorrow evening and will carry on with the build on the weekend!!!

Plane looks awesome. Hurry and get that flight video on here

Very nice lines on that EXTRA!! Seet kit!
M64, Let me forewarn you of a potential problem -your fueler position- may cause you siphoning problems. I set up my Extreme flight EXTRA similar and when the fueler is lower than the vent line- you may end up with gassy fingers at each fueling. Raise it now or later, or do as I HAVE to do; keep a wad of handi-wipe packets in the box.

Now lets review that vacant cockpit area...

JoeAirPort · 01-23-2009, 08:41 AM

Yep, fueler needs to be just a hair higher than the tank or it will be messy when you fuel.

ok thanks! will keep it mind.
the fuel dot and tank and tubing are all preinstalled!
will be changing the fuel tank to a larger one as the stock one is rather small...

My pilot had the same height and no issues with fuel. just use common sense and hold the tube upright when you pull the plug. I would however look at the velcro fasteners for the tank, I could not get mine to hold the tank very tight. while you have it all apart you might want to replace them with some fat zip ties. How is the size of that thing........Do you have anything to compare it to? 871
