Default RE: Extra 2X2

Hi Jeff

The pics of the pipe are from Maurice's 2x2. It's the 2x2 one the German CA-site. Our rep. Florian Wigger has put them online. There's also a movie of the first testrun with this 2x2.

It's also Maurice who came up with the idea of adjusting the header. It's true that the pipe is at an angle, but i think it's acceptable. We noticed the problem when we tried to install the pipe and header so we had to work with what we had, altough we ordered them from MTW via CA....so they knew it was for the 2x2...

First flight has not been made yet, we're still waitin' for some LONGGO batteries, maybe next weekend. Checkout the German CA-site for an update....

Jeff, geuss you didn't try to 3D the 2x2 on first flight. I also hope there's enough throw in the elevator & ailerons to do some FunFly. For now i only got 30° down on the elevators. Should be enough for first flight, we'll just have to see how she flies...let us know what you think!

1 Q, did you you use some sort of silent blocks with the DA50, or did you mount it straight onto the firewall?
