RE: I need your help with my Extra 260

I got some more flights on the extra. Moved the CG to 3" and it made a big difference. It's a totally different plane. Inverted now needs only slight down elevator. I'm very happy with my set up...

RE: I need your help with my Extra 260

My CG is about 2.75 inches back from leading edge at the fuse. Seems to fly ok, needs a bit of down elevator when inverted as the nose falls quickly. I thinking of going back another 1/4" but I...

RE: I need your help with my Extra 260

How does the plane fly? I have the same plane except I have the G Force G10 motor. It came out to 34oz, a bit heavy I think. It likes to fly fast but tends to get mushy at slower speeds, I fly...

RE: phoenix models yak 54

The apc props seem to be more efficient so yes I would try a apc 13-6. My dad has an os 70 on a stick type plane, it seems pretty powerful to me, not sure what brand of prop he’s running but a...

RE: phoenix models yak 54

Ayrton,
The verticals are quite good but not unlimited. I sure it would improve dramatically with a lower pitch prop but I’m not into 3D. I like the 13-8 as it gives me plenty of speed without...

RE: phoenix models yak 54

Second day out with the Yak and what a blast!

I spent time trimming the split elevators and tweaking the Saito, also spent some time on stalls. With the plane laterally balanced and the split...

RE: phoenix models yak 54

I wouldn’t worry about the weight much, if flies very light.

RE: quick aileron question

I’ve always set them between A and B. I think setting them either up or down can add additional lift on cretin aircraft. The 4* 40 is a great airplane with plenty of lift already. I have the...

RE: phoenix models yak 54

The wing area is not listed from Phoenix. I also have the Nitro Planes Yak 52 the old version which is 616sq in. The wings are basically the same size except the Phoenix has smaller ailerons and is...

RE: phoenix models yak 54

Thanks for the replies, I decided to keep it. I started working on it today and got the stabs glued in. I’m going to but a Saito 82 in it, I’m not much of a 3D person, thought I might try basic...
