Default RE: Extreme composite Pro-Line

I understand BVM just got a shipment of ProLines in Friday. If you want one you better call quick.


I flew mine at it's first contest this weekend and let a few others fly it. The airplane does well in the wind and the few that flew it liked it. I'll let more fly it at Triple Tree D2 contest in two weeks.

The airplane did better than I could do with it. I just need to polish a bit with a good coach. Seems my idea of a 45 degree and theirs differ quite a bit, about 2-3 points per manuver.




An email I got from Akiba and he advised me to set the throws at

9mm up 9.5mm down Elev

I thought this was a bit soft but didn't have a problem in the contest. It won't spin at 9mm for me. I use 15mm for the spins and snaps

14mm up and down on the Ailerons.

This was a bit quick for me but is useable.

60mm on each side the rudder.

CG at 170mm from the leading edge of the wing.

Mines at 175 with a 2150mh Nihm behind the firewall.

Low rise Hatroi headed and 821 pipe.

I'm using a 16 oz IM tank 1/2 round, lots of room for bigger tanks

2.5 inch wheels ar the largest wheel I think one could fit the wheel pants.

I'm going to do a build thread on my second ProLine very soon. Once I figure out how to load pic's to the page instead of a link. Stay tuned.
