RE: 35% Scale Electric Foam Extra 300LX!
Well guys,
Just picked up the new Hacker C-50 12XL and Hacker 90 ESC. Now I will patiently wait, odorless in hand, for the parts to arrive.
Well, somewhat patiently.
As soon as the parts come, I'll order the battery packs.

RE: 35% Scale Electric Foam Extra 300LX!
Great news guys.... I've finally unburied mysefl from back orders of Kits. I had to shut the website shopping cart down for 3 weeks to get everything out. Family life, Customer support, and sleep were all starting to suffer.
I blew the dust off the files for this project and made a couple changes to the whole thing.... Right now I'm sitting on all the CAD files for a fuselage that is all done, wings that are done, and stabs that are almost done.
KEN>>> Sould like your ready for some foam??? I'm cutting the real deal tonight sometime and I'll post the build pictures of it after that.

Forgot to add that I bumped up the size to 37%!!!!! The weight penality was minimal for the additional wing area gained.
Anyone know anything about that large Mega Motors outrunner???? just saw a picture and it looks big....

You got it, Levi!!! The build pics will be awesome to see, and a great reference during the build.
I think I hear my building table calling me

actually levi after this quarter of college im out and done, i might have to drive up there and check this thing out. i might even build one, i think it would be absolutly ausome to fly freestlye with....so long as the wind is not too bad. i have to figure the high alpha and stall 3d would be insane.... im recovering my 35% extra right now, i could make a carbon copy of it only in foam, that would be sweet maybe kody would wana build one with me eh kody?

Levi,
I am also interested in one of these monster foamies! I have an actro 60-175/hacker 90 acro ESC that i think might work after you announced the 37% size increase! The motor is capable of putting out in excess of 3000 watts with 27" props.. could be overkill, but who knows! Let me know if ya have any updates..

Well, well, WELL??? C'mon guys, cool it.
As long as he's out for a while, has anyone put, say a .46 FX in a foamy? I've got an extra one lying around. Just a thought... Might I be able to use it in this size beast?

RE: 35% Scale Electric Foam Extra 300LX!
heres an idea on light foam wings. Cut a core out of core ,honeycomb it and slide it back in with a small amount of glue on the honycombed core (gorilla glue) Put it back in the shieths (to keep gorrilla glue from expanding to far) THe picture is of wing W/ spars on outside If you are going to use an internal spar you could completely hollow out in one piece.
