Many of you know about and have flown the 71" Extra Extra. Since the initial plane was developed on my CNC foam cutter it was not as good a candidate for others to build especially if they didn't vacuum bag. Thus the EE V2 was born. It's a hybrid fuse that has dual tubes and is 1lb lighter than the foam prototype. This is one stiff fuse with very very little twist!
The plane as it sits is 144.9oz (9.05625lbs, 4.9 wing cube loading). This includes the fuse, wings, linkage, servos (1 HS 85 throttle servo, 4 170oz MG servos, 2.0oz per), APC 18-6W prop, Saito 180 with older heavy muffler (~33oz) , 20oz Dubro fuel tank, CF Troy built wing tube, two 1/2" 55" epoxy/GF tubes (Swany's), 7.3 oz 2700 mah NIMH 6V battery (heavy I know, LION pack in the other plane is 3oz), JW proto landing gear (Swany Aluminum gear on the way to try as well), tail wheel and gear (didn't weigh it separately), Hitec Supreme 8 channel receiver, and all HD servo extensions. Also, a plane has been built in the super light category using an OS 120AX. It came out at ~7lbs 11oz (1383 sq. in, 4.1 wing cube loading)
Current inside rail spacing/clearance is 44mm (1.73") and is sized for a Saito 125-180, YS 110-160, Roto 25 or Evo 26cc gas, or equivalent. It can be opened up from there as the inside clearance to the tubes (mounts are tied/glued into the tubes) is 82.1mm (3.23") .
The prototype plane with the YS 160 (foam sheeted plane) currently weights 9.840625lbs (157.45oz) and it flys as light as a feather. You can see there's a lot of room to play with motor weights. You just might have to move your battery rearward if you put a heavier motor up front.
Nose to tail it is 66.5" long.
Here's a few video links and pictures of finished planes. Build thread to follow....
