Hey
Can I ask the experts on best electronics load out for the 88'' EF Extra ?
I currently have 4x HS5945MG for aileron and elevator set aside, and a 5955TG for rudder.
I also have a set of 4 8611 I could use on A/E, but wanted to hold those for another project if possible.
Are 5945MG enough for solid 3D control on aileron and rudder?




Absolutely. The 5945 on the Ailerons and Elevators will be fine. The 5955 is perfect for the rudder. I ran 5985's on the ailerons and elevators of my 88" Yak and never had any trouble.

IMO the best set up now is 5) 7955's if purchasing new, but If you already have the 5945's I would use them.

Status: offline 		Well along time ago on this thread I said I was going to get one of these and despite not going that route it looks as if I might in the end, because my Aeroworks Extra is definatly done http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGOETNdHSZ8 , can you fit this plane in the back of a half ton truck with a regular box with out the gate down? I wasn't all that impressed with the flight characteristics of the aeroworks, so I may go this route.

Any details on the cause of your lock-out? What was the aircraft power set-up?

I was going to recommend the EF Extra when I saw your video. It's probably the best one out there. If you remove your spinner and turn your rudder that will buy you some space. It'll probably fit though. Do you need some measurements from me? Just say the word.

PS: It's a harrier monster. I'm doing them all the time on this Extra . Incredible harriers. No wing rock.

Status: offline 		I want to get it after jake ruddys review and he still thinks its the best 50cc out there, and I would like a plane that can harrier like my funtana or at least close, because the aeroworks sure wasn't stable enough. I was going to go imac as well so I'm not sure about getting the edge 540 from ef. The power setup was a smart fly sport plus with 2 fromeco 2600 batteries, and they weren't plugged into the batter/bind port because I already knew about that. I think there's something wrong with the radio, anyways I'm sending all my receivers and the radio back to spectrum to get checked up. Whats the total length with no spinner, I'm wondering if I can go diagonally in the truck.

Status: offline 		Just measured 84" without the spinner. This is the plane for IMAC. It really presents well in the air and flies a very precise line. Thanks for the info on the radio failure and sorry about the loss of the plane.

Status: offline 		Mine's 86" with True Turn 4" P51 spinner. Without the spinner it looks right about what propchief said (I didn't remove the spinner). You can also turn the rudder and push the elevators down to buy yourself 2-4". I do this on my Yak and Extra . There are always little tricks that can save some space. You can remove stab's too.

I'm still loving this plane! I've only used the Xoar 22x10. Has anyone used the 22 3DA? (I'm flying DLE 55)

Status: offline 		Its a standard box so only 6', I was using a Vess 23B in that video I posted of the now old Extra and It pulled much better than the xoar 22x10 I had on before. Also what were you guys getting for weight on this plane?

Status: offline 		This Extra is larger than the Aeroworks so it's not really in the same size class. I would call them "over-sized" class of 50cc air frames. My EF 88" Yak is huge. Most people ask if I have an 80cc in it. When I say 50cc they stand there dumbfounded. :-)

The covling I am going to repair it, i think that this shouldnt be any problem. I already order the new one for just in case.

Status: offline 		I had a little accident too a couple months ago. I pan caked it in doing a "too low" knife edge loop. It could have been so much worse had I not leveled the wings in time and kept them "almost" level. Hence the busted wing tip. The repair was a LOT of little things. It took me a week to get it back in the air. The last picture is the repaired plane.
