RE: Balance Point for Extra 330LX
Tom:
Just wanted to let y'all know that I finished up my 36% Extra.
3W-106, Johnson mufflers, Hitech 5945 servos for ailerons and elevators, 5735 on pull-pull for the rudder, HD 46 inch wing tube, Dubro wheels, pilot + instrument panel, Dave Brown spinner, Menz-S prop, two 2700 NiMH 5-cell packs for the receiver and one 2700 NiMH 4-cell pack for the ignition, 3 JR charge jack switches, B&B fuel tank and fuselage filler.
28.5 lbs on a calibrated scale....without wheel pants, but otherwise totally stock.
I'm very happy it came out this light considering the size of the airplane. I'm sure someone could remove 1.5 lb by throwing carbon fiber and Li batteries at it.
