Status: offline 		Well, I finally did it, I ordered up the 75cc Extra 260. Not from Aero Works directly, but through the (somewhat) local hobby shop. I've been humming and ha-ing about it for a while now. I've had the ZDZ Super-80 sitting in a box for almost a year waiting for a plane to show up and I figured the best way to tidy it up off the shelf was to mount it to something . It likely won't fly until spring though, as it will be getting very cold here quickly. That's ok, I think I prefer the building part over the flying (even if it is an ARF). I have most, if not all, the servos for it already, just need the battery setup and spinner pretty much. Once I maiden it I will be looking at a 100cc size likely next with the possibility of a turbo-prop .

It´s a rocket with the rv, the super will be monster power for this plane!!

Juanes - I am planning to buy the 75cc for an 80RV I have. I am planning on using a JBM header and cannister. Do you have any idea of the drop required for the header?
Many thanks.

Yes four will fit, I have three HD switches; two on the left side for Rx and one on the right side for IGN.

I too ordered one through Great Hobbies last week, I can,t wait for it to arrive.
I,ve got a 3W-80xi engine arriving this week as well and am glad to see its a recommended power plant as per the manual.

Status: offline 		So, Im assuming that since they mention 1.25 arms on the ailerons, that they are the same on the Elevator's? I started mine last night, so far so good. Starting the elevators tonight, but it doesnt mention on this part the size of the arm to use? I have some 1.5's from my sukhoi, but they look to be really misaligned with the horns.

Can anyone chime in?

Status: offline 		I haven't checked my control throws yet, so I can't comment right now. I might get to that tonight. I just used the stock jr arms for now until I know where i stand. for high rate or 3D i'm assuming you will need at least 1.5" arms all around
