Yes, thats all that was holding it on anyways. The notches on the tabs help a little but not alot, more for engine box positioning. I would put a strip of thin ply on the crack, or just stop drill the crack on each end (keeps the crack from growing), and put epoxy on it, both sides. Put up a picture of the crack, there may be another way.

Hey guys, my experienced builder friend helped me get it bandaged up to fly

ONE last PROBLEM... The weather is getting BEAUTIFUL for flying, BUT, I just found out my radio (spektrum Dx6i) has a recall for the pentiontiontotnoentoneontenot...meter (whatever the hell it is). And mine is exhibiting the problem. So I sent it in. Which leave me with my Dx5e.

This is a very manual radio. No expo. Has 1 dualrate (ele, ail, rudd same swtich). SOOO I'm dialing down the mechanical throws to very safe landing posistions. What do you think I should set the ele and ail to for landing (low rate)?
Thanks

Recently I have had a chance to fly my Extra 330 Freestyle a lot,....... man I love this plane!!!! I am finally getting the bugs worked out of it and enjoying it for the great flying plane that it is. I am powering it with a Saito 82 and either a 14x6 APC or 14x6 MAS scimitar prop, have not decided which I like better. The Satio 82 is barely enough motor to hover but other than pull out is a nice fit for this plane. I have a Satio 100 that I will probably put on the Extra 330 Freestyle later this summer just to see the difference. I am by no means a 3D pilot but this plane really makes me look good! All the guys at the field have commented on how much better I am getting, truth is this plane makes me look good!! I see that many shops have the Extra 330 freestyle back in stock, maybe Fliton has not gave up on this plane yet?:D

Hi guys! im want to make my extra to electric, but i want some sugestions for the motor, esc and battery type.. some one can help me?

Thanks!

RE: Fliton Extra 330 Freestyle Who's Got One?
 
Luis ... try this:

Motor - AXI 4130/16 (many tried this combo and its good for 6S), you can also look into a Hyperion 4025-12 for 5S on a 16x10 or 16x12 or the Hackers
ESC - any 80A ESC, you can try the Turnigy if you do not wish to splurge, if not get a CC85HV
Batt - Rhino 20C 6S 3,700 for good 3D performance or Rhino 5S packs for good aerobatic performance
Prop - 16x10 E

Hey guys - for those of you still on the thread here - I ended up wrecking mine in a moment of bad judgement. Lost it in silohette on a day I was feeling sick.

Point being, I have a few parts if anyone want to pick some up.

I have a RIGHT wing in very good shape (went down on the left). I have the tail section. So if you want an extra rudder and elevator surface. I have landing gear, and canopy. Sadly, that is all :(

If you want to make an offer on any of it, I would be happy to sell it and have it go to use.

Figure someone might think it's a good idea to have a few extra pieces on hand for hangar rash or other.

pm me
Thanks
Tim

Bummer. I put mine in today also. I got a little luckier. All I need is a left wing. Bent the gear too bad to straighten, but I already have the replacement gear, just have not put them on yet. Flew about 5 flights after I realized I was wore out, bad idea. So if anybody has a left wing, I would be interested.

Yeah, I learned from it though. I had heard it suggested to keep the plane lower to the ground on my approaches so I didn't have to bleed off as much speed. I really don't have a problem with coming down and bleeding off the speed, plus it gives you the advantage of knowing what direction the plan is pointed. If it's level the whole time there is less visual indicators as to whether it's going away or coming towards.

Being sick it flipped on me visually, and I was too "off" that day to know what it was doing and it was only 15 feet or so off the ground.

well, you live and learn.

I picked up the extra from Aero-Works. Just got it 2 days ago - looks really nicely crafted. I wrecked the fliton about a month ago - so I didn't get to fly it much. FLew great. I hope this AW flies as well

I dumb thumbed in a rolling harrier 4 foot off the ground. This plane does the best slow roll rolling harriers, except when your tired.

Here is a video, if anyone is interested. I apologize for the quality, we are still learning to make videos. This is our 3rd, we are getting a tripod. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vsqfURBU9YE

is it ok if i use ASP 70 4C with this plane?
and Futaba 3001 As the servo?

Thx

RE: Fliton Extra 330 Freestyle Who's Got One?
 
I had a saito 100 on mine. It felt great, but you could probably get away with a 91 or 82. The 70 probably will not be quite enough except to just fly sport

those servos are probably too weak. I would go with a good 60oz torque at least

RE: Fliton Extra 330 Freestyle Who's Got One?
 
I'm running a super tigre .75 on mine, alternating between a 13x6 and a 14x4w prop. Plenty of power, will climb out of a hover, knife edge loop, etc, but requires a lot of throttle for that kind of stuff. The .70 will fly it fine unless you want to hover at 4 clicks of throttle... the .75 in mine will fly it around all day pattern style at 1/4 throttle.


I am running Hitec HS475 servos in mine. No complaints. They're cheap ( think they were about $16 each ).

RE: Fliton Extra 330 Freestyle Who's Got One?
 
A .75 2-stroke has WAY more power than a .70 4-stroke.

trpastor 07-14-2009 10:05 AM

RE: Fliton Extra 330 Freestyle Who's Got One?
 
That's a 2 stroke 75 vs a 4 70. That's a lot less power

huminski 07-14-2009 10:51 AM

RE: Fliton Extra 330 Freestyle Who's Got One?
 
Sorry I didn't notice the 4C designation. Yes, in that case, the .70 would be a bit too small I think. Sorry about that!

Red ... try the 15x6

trpastor 07-16-2009 09:22 AM

RE: Fliton Extra 330 Freestyle Who's Got One?
 
15x6 is what I used on my 100. It was inverted and I used an APC which is heavier and helped keep idle possibly.

RE: Fliton Extra 330 Freestyle Who's Got One?
 
I have magnum 91 4ST I run a 14x6 and a 14x4, but saito 91 may be able to handle the bigger prop. I do have a 15x6 on my saito 100 on a Fliton edge, finally going to see what she'll do this Sun. Thumbs don't fail me now:D

tIANci 07-17-2009 10:41 AM

RE: Fliton Extra 330 Freestyle Who's Got One?
