I flew my Extra 500 for the first time on Nov 5. I powered it with a Turnigy 50-65 outrunner, 16x10 prop, ICE 75 esc, Turnigy 3000mh 6S batt, controlled by a 2.4gh Futaba 7c. I was shocked and thrilled at the acceleration and power of this set-up. The plane flew like a glider needing only 1/4 to 1/2 throttle. It needed approx. 10 deg of down trim to fly level without climbing. It sounds like a turboprop when flown overhead. The motor came with a 10mm prop shaft so I had to buy a prop reamer and drill and tap the shaft to accept the spinner bolt. The plane got a lot of attention at the field and I like having a standoff scale airplane that is different and interesting. Anyone wanting additional info, just reply with e-mail and I'll get back to you as soon as I get the notification. It took a lot of work to convert this plane to elec, but it was worth it.
