RE: Pheonix Extra 330S 60-90 Size

PKa, I just had my first good trimming day last weekend for my replacement Phoenix Extra. It was raining on and off and calm. I was not snapping out of loops, but my new build sure was "wonky" at...

I had the same problem until I started using 10-15mm of spoilerons (both ailerons up, or negative flaperons) on a switch for landing. That keeps it from having that...

RE: Pheonix Extra 330S 60-90 Size

Hey Wrangler 1, just reading your post now, sorry about the delayed response. If you can find a metric nylon bolt to match the thread in the wing's blind nut, which is an M6 x 1.25mm pitch when I...

Yep, I'd guess those wingtip fences postpone stall quite well... good trick. Thanks for sharing that idea with photos. You posted that a few months ago, right?

PS, Wrangler, if that's your first covering job- you are a natural. It is a tough skill to master, especially on light (flimsy) structures like the belly of this bad boy. You pull too hard here, it...

I think that it is good for the environment to use the remaining scraps you have for repairs......even if it DOES look a little more Rusky now!

RE: Pheonix Extra 330S 60-90 Size

Ameya, it appears from the video, that you have the original version of the kit, where the removeable canopy ends at the front of the wing. On many of those, the aluminum wing tube is a little too...

RE: Pheonix Extra 330S 60-90 Size

Ameyam, if the wing is bolted to the fuse sides as when it was new, and the wing still can shift, I would suggest that you take the wing off and see if the tube can move relative to the fuselage,...

RE: Super Tigre G3250 issue

12mm sounds like the most common carb for the Big Cats (ST 2300 &up) which all sport a 12mm airflow bore. No first hand knowledge on this for the 2300 as I only have the 3250. But my experience...
