Status: offline 		Not sure about the specs on the arf. I built the one in the video form plans and I not sure if the plans are still available. The arf should be a good flyer. Mine weighed 9lb 13oz with the heavy motor mount, not sure now, Randy should have it lighter.

Status: offline 		Randy, I fired up the TT.39 heli with a 9-6 APC and 5% today. Let it run for about thirty minutes and it turned that prop around 16,400 so you were absolutely right....it has great potential! Will feed it some 30% heli fuel and get an 8-8 and see what it does. The exhaust system is only a mousse can set up I had laying around as well and hasn't been tuned for that engine. I have a pipe for it that I will get on there and tune it for that. Will let you know how it does. Also, it's almost vibration free compared to that darn Evolution .36

Status: offline 		Well, I finally did it!!! Put together my Big Boy completely( the last 10% of details are 90% of the time/work). Details are...26SS gasser from Brillelli, Hitec 525MGs (57oz torque) except for rudder( Hitec 645mg ,133 oz torque) and throttle ( futaba 3004 std).
6vol nmh 2400 battery for controls, and 4.8 nicad 1200 for ignition. C&H ignition plus optical kill. Servos for elevator in rear w/ carbon fiber rods and rear rudder servo with external pull/pull. Dry weight is 10lbs-7oz but might use Li-Pos later. Plan to Maiden on Sunday!
I feel pretty good about this plane. Oh Yeah 16x8 zinger for break-in with a beautiful 18-6 Bella prop waiting!

Status: offline 		What's this about me flying above my learning curve, I didn't know that I could learn anything. HA!HA! I see that you guys are bored out of your minds due to lack of good flying weather. I did a little flying Sunday with the FuntanaX, but mostly I was pulling someone out of the mud. I have gotton Randy's last mistake all rebuilt now waiting for money to buy servos and I guess some time this summer I will that the 160ZDZ off of the Edge and put on the Extra. Randy I will be glad to be the one to give you annistedic Friday. I think that I have a big rubber mallet handy.

Status: offline 		Hey guys, we flew a bit Sunday in UC. I really like that AW Extra. I am starting to get comfy with it (that's when I usually pull something stupid). The new Fromecos are working nicely. I did get tired of looking at it without a spinner, so now I have a new Pete carbon Ultimate spinner installed. It looks good, and only 3 oz. I offset this weight gain with a new carbon wing tube. I am having a blast with this one! Also got the GeeBee up again with a better CG and it flew like a missle with a malfunctioning guidance system. The straight piped YS is obnoxious. Slow speed handling is non existent. It looks cool in the air on a low knife edge though. It might last longer that the Mach Racer. Hurry up good weather!

Status: offline 		ok barnes, just because i had a little/big knee surgery does not mean you try and make a move on hot wife. your back couldn't take it anyways.
thanks for the support guys, it has been going pretty good so far. i got out and ran around with TimG this morning so now i'm back on the couch letting the swelling go back down around the knee. i should be back running marathons in a few weeks.
