Default RE: Extreme Flight Extra 58"

I've had mine for a while now.
saito .72
4 5245's
1 225 mg (throttle)

I used the elevator joiner so I could use the second elevator cut-out for a push-pull rudder.
kind of a waste putting 2 $50 servos on the elevator. 5245 on the rudder is plenty also. KE loops no problem.
also frees up the rudder servo pull-pull area for room to mount the battery and rx.
be careful of the canopy/ hatch paint. it chips easily. I took some hinge tape and ran it along the edge of the hatch that goes beneath the cowl.
don't over tighten the spinner screws. It will split the plastic.
when mounting the wheel pants. a bit of 2 sided sand paper in between the landing gear and wheel pant will hold it on a little better. I fly off rough grass and had 1 fly off till I used some sand paper and really tightened them down well.
balanced fine no added weight. just moved my rx battery.
I usually use a apc 13 x 6 propeller on my 72 but came across master airscrew 13x6 S2 series glass filled nylon propeller on tower. I have a new favorate prop for this engine. spins just over 11 grand on the ground and really jumps out of a hover.
