well it all arived pefect at my door . It was missing nothing in the kit !
The pros on this plane is that it is super balance and well built and the craftsmanship is awsome . also the best plane I ever flown!!!

The only bad is I pulled the threads off the axle bolt and baught titanium ones through TBM,The tail wheel swivel locked up on me and I had to fab my own,and thats it !!!

The plane was perfect when i got it no wrinkles and no holes perfect ultracoat job and super tight frame and everything was easy to get too!

razor1974 · 09-08-2009, 11:08 PM

Any questions and i will try to help .
It has 7955tg hitec servos
one 24" extension in each wing.
2 48" extensions for the elevator servos
and a 12" extension for the throttle.

Power suply is smart fly EQ6 with built in regulator ,servo matcher, and fiber optic kill switch.
It has a heavy duty kill switch and charging jacks for the ignition also , plus charging jacks for each battery for the power supply.
All three batteries are formeco 2600 7.4 voly lthium ion . 2 for power board and one for ign.
I also have a 6 volt reg for my DA ignition.
All from smart fly and what a big help BOB was!!!!!

DA 100 with KS cans and headers and mounts from them. The mounts are great and i'll never have and vibration or issues with them.

I also baught a bigger 32 oz sulivan fuel tank for reliablility and a fuel filter with a large fuel clunk.

razor1974 · 09-08-2009, 11:15 PM

This kit had the awsome carbon fiber hardware and aluminium wheels . No need to upgrade here!
The only thing other that I can think of is that it was 102 degrees the first day I flew it . It was so HOT that it warped the pilot canopy and that really sucked . I have prderd a new one and when it gets here I will have a custom sheme on the canopy and the cowel to help things cool down and keep it from warping! I didnt even think about the heat !!! So if it's hot where you live get the yellow wone or other color sheme. If it's aboput 85 or below it shoud be fine!

Thanks I'm having a blast!

Razor you might be pushing it on 15 min flights on that DA- 100. If you use throttle managment then you should be ok. I have the Pilot 35% Yak with the DLE-111 and I am using a 32 ounce soda bottle tank and and 12 min flight I have less than 1/4 tank left. I would fly it 12 mins and land and ck the tank level and go from there. JMO

OH ok sure thanks for the note. I have mainly been flying around at low throttle levels so it will break in and ocasionly a short burst of throttle . Probably willl use a lot more fuel in the future..

greg e · 09-09-2009, 11:14 AM

Razor if you need a new canopy for your plane let me know I have a new one from Tony I can sale you.

razor1974 · 09-09-2009, 10:10 PM

Guys she bit the dust today and I lost the landing gear . My Da hasnt ran right and I was constantly tuning it . It loaded up on the take of and I landed it dead stick and it was smooth but the hole bottom side and landing gear was ripped off. I could patch it up but thats what is will be . I am a perfectionist so When I can afford another airframe in 3 weeks I will start another build . The plane flies to nice for me to think about another.....Tony can you sponsor me at this rate I will keep your buisness busy all year!!! LOL
