I'm using the factory-supplied LiIon (2000mA) pack... it is not LiPo.
The DX9 is correctly set for the LiIon pack.
It's now more than 36 hrs on charge and the blue LED is still on.

This is one FANTASTIC airplane!
I maiden'd my Fliton Extra back in November 2006 and have flown it almost every single weekend since then... literally hundreds of flights. I've never had a crash or...

RE: Fliton Extra 330 Freestyle Who's Got One?

The canopy turned out to be easier than expected. I just screwed it in place around the perimiter with #2x7/16 servo screws from RTL Fasteners. Along the front edge (where's there is no room to fit a...

I just got back from the field... the maiden flight went perfectly. The Extra trimmed out nicely and flies GREAT! It was a real show stopper with the other pilots too, most had never seen a Fliton...

RE: Fliton Extra 330 Freestyle Who's Got One?

Whew, I finally finished the Extra last night... I wouldn't call this a difficult build, but it certainly was time consuming considering this is an ARF.

RE: Fliton Extra 330 Freestyle Who's Got One?

I'm using a TruTurn 2-1/4" Ultimate Wide Blade.
Since you don't like the Ultimate style you could try their 2-1/2 Standard Wide Blade, but it will be a little big for your cowl.

RE: Fliton Extra 330 Freestyle Who's Got One?
