well after a late night last night my 41% extra is ready to go so this morning i will be hauling it out to the field for it's maiden.
it was easy build and a great looking plane so i can't wait to see it in the air.

DA 150 on cans
2 8611a's per aileron
2 8611a's on rudder with SWB self adjusting tray
1 5955tg per elevator
Xoir 32-10 prop
true turn spinner
smartfly ignition kill switch
Fromeco batteries , switches, and regulators

i will try to get some pics today but i never seem to be able to post them.

wish me luck
randy

What's up?



randy racer -> RE: 41% extra 300 maiden today (6/25/2007 2:58:08 AM)

got out early this morning before some rain came through and got 2 great flights on the extra and then 5 or 6 more this after noon. all i can say is SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tom you have a great flying plane in the 41% extra 300.

with a little triming and adjusting i think i have found a new love.
i have the cg set on the wing tub in the front slot and i think it could be farther back. where do you guys have yours set for best all around 3D and IMAC? it only needed in click of down trim for level flight and no aileron trim needed. when inverted it needs a little down elevator, just a little more than i like but not much.

phjoker -> RE: 41% extra 300 maiden today (6/25/2007 11:50:40 AM)

congrats on the maiden glad it was a good one. now all we need are the pictures or video



Jecarte -> RE: 41% extra 300 maiden today (6/25/2007 11:51:25 AM)

With my wing on the forward tube, holding the plane for cg at the wing tips at the tube, the tail just starts to drop, thats what I use for IMAC. The landings will settle in and 3 point everytime with the cg a little further aft.

Where are the pictures???



randy racer -> RE: 41% extra 300 maiden today (6/25/2007 12:35:22 PM)

see if this works, i never seem to get the picture thing to work.
Jecarte, that is where i have my cg now so a little farther back should be good for combo 3D and Imac. i don't compete in imac but i love flying the manuvers and this plane will get er done.

i have been flying a 102 inch QQ yak for some time and it will take a great flying plane to take me away from it but the wild hare has a good chance. i think after a little triming and a few adjustment and time on the sticks this plane will do it all with style.

3 more flights tonight and started working on mixes, it won't need much. i had the covering come loose around the can tunnel exit, i must not have sealed it down good enough when i cut it out. i think i may replace the cans with stock DA mufflers due to having a hard time getting used to not being able to hear the engine at low rpms when othe planes are flying. i have sound problems in our area so a little noise won't hurt and getting the weight down to 38lbs will be a plus. it feel as light as a feather at 39lbs.

Redneck Shaun -> RE: 41% extra 300 maiden today (6/26/2007 1:12:25 PM)

Great to hear everthing went well Randy. If you loose a pound up front by going with the stock mufflers, and you already have pull-pull instead of the tail, are you going to be able to move the batteries up far enough to keep your CG position you have now?



randy racer -> RE: 41% extra 300 maiden today (6/26/2007 2:01:10 PM)

i can go back to the rear wing tube location and move batteries around a bit. i hope it works out. i will let you know in a few days.

rctom -> RE: 41% extra 300 maiden today (6/26/2007 2:17:38 PM)

Changing away from cans does not have a dramatic effect on balance. The cans are very close to the CG and removing them will change the balance very little.

I agree, you'll get used to it and have a lot more friends.

randy racer -> RE: 41% extra 300 maiden today (6/28/2007 2:47:14 AM)

to late, i switched them out today and got 6 flights on it tonight. i feel so much better being able to hear the engine when close to the ground.

my cg moved forward when i swaped the cans for the mufflers so i added a little lead on the tail at the field tonight and i am getting close to having it right for me.

sweet plane tom thanks again

How long before you knock the lead off doing a harrier landing?????? [sm=lol.gif]



randy racer -> RE: 41% extra 300 maiden today (6/28/2007 12:08:02 PM)

hey nogyro, i thought about it last night. it harriers so well i was getting it downd on the deck but still too new to bounce in a harrier landing. haha! lets get together this sunday and i will let you try the extra out. tim G has flown it and fell in love at first flight. haha!
