I'm trying to obtain an instruction manual for this plane. I need the instructions on setting up the CG and contol rates. Since DP is no longer in business they have no website and doing a google search provides little information.

off memory the CG was 5 1/4 to 5 3/4 throws in degress are 8-10 E, 15-20 on R and A

Thank you for the information.

I recently purchased the same plane and no instructions. It seems very light so a 180 Saito will be used for power. Hope that will do it .

That's information pertaining to powerplant choice. I'm trying to find the control throw set-up for IMAC and 3D manuvers. I'm going to power mine with a Saito 220FS for 3D.

3d
A 35-40 degrees
R 40-max
E= 40-45 deg

Would it be possible to supply me with the low rate settings for IMAC.

its the same as the low rate settings as a starting point and then adjust for your needs as some things change with CG of course. I maiden my extra at 5.25 and later moved it back to 5.75 and i really like the way it flew with that setting inverted it just required a very slight push.

I really appreciate your feedback.

Man, where are you guys finding these DPs? I thought they were long gone. The last ones I saw fly had a Saito 1.50 and an early DL50. The Saito powered plane would fly well, but was somewhat limited on 3d type maneuvers. The 50cc one ripped through the sky and was terrribly overpowered without serious throttle control. Good luck.

mine came from DP back when he was in business this was the 1st batch. the batches afterwards came in lighter ailerons and a larger hatch. i did a mod on my hatch to make it closer to the 2nd and after batches.....

Does anyone know what shade of blue ultracote the strip is?
