I use Kirbys Kustom Graphics since he belongs to my club and lives 6 minutes from my house. just take whatever im working on over there measure and cut everything to fit on the spot. and get a pretty good deal on it

Haha. That was just a joke btw. I'm sure that Kirby's has some great stuff too.

Danielph, might be saying BandEgraphix.com because he has the exact measurements from mine.

do you know how much weight the vinyl graphics added compared to that of the stock graphics?

danielph · 11-04-2009, 10:20 PM

Can't be more than a few grams if the graphics aren't layered.

At least 2-3 lbs. Brandon. Your's will not fly anywhere near a well as mine.

danielph · 11-05-2009, 01:26 AM

Um,... ok. lol

brandonduley · 11-05-2009, 05:48 AM

nice al, thats kind of what i was figuring but i guess you beat me to it.

BR289 · 11-05-2009, 10:51 AM

Seriously probably not much but I know some people will do just about anything to save a 1/2 ounce....and spend alot doing it....
Personal preference I guess....

i know what you mean

I have quite a few flights on mine and really couldn't be happier ! My first couple of flights I stubbed it on a landing and I had to re glue the one fuse former that's just behind the gear plate. I could flex the gear and see the whole former came loose,really my fault not EF's!!

I'm using Turnigy 4s 2200 and getting 8min. tops just floating it around. Doing multiple climb outs for spins and such I'm getting 6-7min. The 20c seems to be plenty --I don't think 30c would make much of a difference the vertical is insane! This is the best Harrier plane I've ever had zero wingrock --first plane to give me confidence to harrier land and hover on the deck!!

If the 78" is anything like the smaller brother,it's going to be a great midsize plane for banging around!

brandonduley · 11-20-2009, 09:36 AM

very nice

vtcornercarver · 12-01-2009, 06:03 PM

Hi, I have always flown pattern with YS 4 strokes. this will be my first electric project. I don't see any mention of a power off switch for safety purposes. Do these ESC/elextric motor components have a safety switch to prevent accidents? Also, do you have to program the ESC? Lastly, does a 4s lipo pack in the 2500 range need to be a 20 or 30C or doesn't it really matter? Sorry to be so uneducated but any info would be really appreciated..........Pete

EXTREME FLIGHT · 12-01-2009, 06:11 PM

Pete, yes there is an arming switch on the ESC and a laser cut hole in the forward side of the fuselage to mount it.
No programming required for the Airboss Elite 45 ESC, it is auto-detect as well which means it automatically adjusts for the number of cells you are using. 4S 20-30 C 2500 mah Lipos will work great. Glad to help with any questions you have.
