Default RE: Extra 330L-EP Extreme 3D RC Acrobatic Plane ARF

I'm using a 4S 5000mAh pack, and no I did not find it tail heavy.

Aerobatic planes typically have fairly neutral C.G.'s which will feel a bit twitchy to someone used to more forward C.G.'s.

This makes the knifeedge, and axial roll well, but increases tail sensitivity.

I maxed out my throws, but I have at 50% expo on both high and low rates for this plane.

My servo travel is set so that on low rates it is at 50% versus 125% on high rates.

So on low rates my elevator moves up fairly little compared to my high rate elevator setting.


BTW: I though you were using the same motor I pictured in mine?

If so you should be using 4S packs as the 5S may destroy the motor due to heat, especially with a 13" prop.

You'll need to step down to 11x5E or 11x6E with a 5S pack and that motor, at the least.
