Oh my. Did you see how much throw he put into that plane. Jeez.
This is Maarten's setup for the Extra in the video :

Throws: all 60° except rudder= 50°
CG: +3.0 cm
eng: 12 kw, torque: 40%
prop: 31x10.6 max rpm= 8200
gross weight= 15900g

Enjoy !
Thanks for the numbers.

Question: There were three CG numbers. Which one is +3 cm? Also the units were in english units. Must be the English version. Also I wonder where he shaved off the weight. I just left the CG alone and took two lbs off the engine. I must say this is spoiling me having that much control over the models. They hover at 1/4 throttle. Unreal.

Also I made the rudder 60 percent. Tight knife edge loops for sure! Plus it's fun to harrier on your side.

Joe, chenge the 7.0 in the first column to 3.0 for the cg

As for the weight, just reduce the fuse weight by 1 kg.

Enjoy !
