Default RE: Pheonix Extra 330S 60-90 Size

I have the Phoenix Extra 330 .61-.91
Set up on 6000mah-6s 22.2v with a Hacker C50-16XL and 3.38:1 reduction.
It will Hover at  a Lil over 1/2 throttle with a 18 X 10 APC prop.

I Just purchased a DLE-20 and plan to put it into the EXTRA as soon as it arrives.I
will drop a 1/2-Lb off the current 3,830g however
The 700sq inch wing in it handles the 8.42-Lb quite nicelyBUT
i Did sheet the front 1/3 and cap the ribs; still
not bad for a $140 and i like the red & white monokote better
AND it lands Much easier,with 15% flap and the rudder coupled in.

Someone on post # 16  indicated that the wing had 831 sq" aria
My math indicates only 700 sq"
each wing pannel is 28" long
Tip =    8.625
Root = 16.375"

This will be my first gas airplane; my gas- XL Helli is Real sensitive
to temp. Wish i new what the operating temp of the DLE-20 was,to
ensure i don't over heat it.
