Default DP Extra new version!!!!!

It`s HERE!!!!
Didn`t think it would ever come, but it did. Simply beautifull. Have
2 questions... For power, I have a nib Fox 2.4 gas, or a OS 160fx
with the Jett in-cowl muffler. Also, they now suggest using 1 servo with pull-pull for the elevator. I would like to utilise the
removable stab, so would 2 clevises on each side tolerate disconnecting from their respective elevator horn each time I removed the stab? Also got a new Duralite sytem, nice and light!
All I can say so far, is the Extar was worth the wait.

i have a brison 3.2 swinging a 22 x 8 on mine for power i never take my stabs off so i am of no help there. I think those 2 motors will let you fly around as long you are not looking to be doing the t-rolling and unlimted verticle stuff.

I am thinking about getting one of these guys. What about a BME 44 for power, too much?

The engine is VERY light.

The BME44 isn't too much power... That's what I had on mine.

Well guys I just had to tell someone, about two weeks ago I couldn't decide witch one to get the DP 330 or the 540 so I ended up ordering the 540 I knew it would be a while before I got it but today I called them and just so happens a hobby shop sent a 330 back :stupid: so of course I changed my order to a 330 and it got sent out the same day was that luck or what and it is the new version still can't get the smile off my face and best of all the better half thinks it's cause of her.

So far as I can tell...

1. Wing moved back

2. Two Servos Per Aileron option built in.

3. New Canopy Style/ Deck is easily removable with 4-40 bolts.

4. Laser Cut- lighter. (Maybe I'll weigh it Dry unless somebody already has)

5. ?????


anybody know what else.

Is it better suited for gas or glow? Any noticable difference in the flight characteristics?
