New Extreme Flight RC 48" Extra 300 EXP Build

[mxcop]

Since the canopy will be removed removed every flight a piece of pre-cut vinal is included. Locate this in the graphics package and cut it out. Apply it over the latch area.

If you are using the SFG's you can mount them now, They mount using two large head wood screws with plastic washers, these are also included in the kit. Insert the screws through the holes in the SFG's and screw them to the wings tips. I recommend removing them just as the instructions say and wicking some thin ca into the holes, let it dry then re-install the SFG's. I have well over 100 flights on the EXP's and have flown them both with and without the SFG's, either way it's the best flying plane in the size that I've even flown.

Ok guys, that's it for the build, one thing I didn't say but is mentioned in the manual is be sure to install a velcro strap to hold your battery in place. The final step would be applying the graphics, the kit includes a full graphics kit and it really sets off the looks of this plane. Here's a picture of the inside of my plane, this is the battery location I'm using also. It flies pretty neutral at this location, yet is still very precise with flying precision. I'm using flight modes in my 12X, three rates on a single switch. First one is precision set exactly to the manual guidlines for control throw, mid rate is for regular 3D with around 55-60 degree elevator throw, and the third rate is the same as the mid but full 80 degree elevator throw. Be careful using this much throw at first as it is really only good for certain maneuvers like extreme tumbles, super tight knife edge spins, completely vertical dropping parachutes and elevators, super tight waterfalls, etc....

Mine came in today .. thanks Curtis ! I have to say that you gotta see one of these to really appreciate how nice the kit really is. I'm an engineer so I'm pretty anal and this thing has some cool features that make even the most critical happy. For instance, who hates when the plastic canopy cracks just aft of the turtle deck bulkhead ... I do. Chris has you covered. There is a small plastic doubler to beef this up and prevent that. In addition, clever uses of carbon and G10 help improve durability and save weight. Another cool thing I noticed ... who hates removing covering from the cutouts in the wing and fuselage ? I do .. and It's already done for you. It actually done very clean! Also, you gotta check out the tail structure ... pretty slick and very stiff.

Lee, I got the smaller motor (-900) with mine ... have you flown one on that power system ?

I'll post some pictures of the maiden soon !

All the videos from SEFF were with the 900 in it!

[jehjr68]

Awesome. Can't wait to fly it.

The 900 with a 4s is only about 10 watts less than the 820. I used the 820 because I had it in a Vanquish. I have seen it fly on the 900 and I cant tell much of a difference if any.

Awesome! As soon as I can "round up" the money, I really want to get one! Thanks Lee for the thread!

I got mine in last Friday. It looks great and well built. Very nice design! I'm waiting for the rest of the flight gear for it to show up anyday now so it won't be long. I haven't done anything but take it out of the box for inspection. You guys weren't kidding when you said it could be done in a couple hours. Most of the work is done! I'm saving the assembly for Friday to give me something to do that evening since my 40% is grounded and I won't be doing any flying. It is by far one of the best built arfs I've seen in a while. I can't wait to throw it around. Looks like fun. Good job to all involved on this one! I do have one question. When using the AR6200 Rx, did anyone use the satellite Rx as well or is it ok to just use the main Rx alone? Trying to keep it as light as possible.
EDIT: For anyone interested, I found the AR6200 on sale for $49.99 ($53.39shipped) .http://www.robotmarketplace.com
Also found Hitec 5065MG for $36.99 ($153.47 for 4 shipped) here http://www.toddsmodels.com

I used the satellite..however I doubt it is needed. I dont think it will add enough weight to make a difference.

Why don't you use AR6100 then ?

I just don't trust a foamie Rx in something that gets a little further away from the Tx, and I'd rather have the 6200 for future use in something else down the road.

[cjcyclesrc]

I would use the remote for sure. I'm not sure but it might be like the AR7000 and AR9000's and not work without the remote.

Here is what a 6200 looks like on asphalt.
