see what i mean. the fist glider was running 15 s 5amp batts. wing tips sounded like a jet.

hmmmm... cant see any EF's in that line up.... better change that next year!!

Ok Fchris.
What are the cut out on the fuse. and how do you control roll, didnt see any ailerons..

I think Ill agree with you Chris on the camera..A high speed Micro SD card.

The cam has a better pic quality, The latex cover stops the USB from plugging in properly, just cut it a bit more. It must be turned on to down load, Thats where I get my fllat batteries. The mode LED can be a bit hard to see in the sun..It fitts in the FCO2 head pouch..I guess time will tell..

Cut outs for ventilation, basicially just bent flutes out to make scoops, and no ailerons. i have cut control surfaces back to about 3/4 stock size and low rate are set for very small deflection. i reckon the fins on the end of the wings help it to bank coz it flys like its on rails. here`s the big bonus............NO wing flex that i could see. Mind you i did a few rolls and loops at low speed but i was just doin circuits at flat knacker

Can you just imagine us rocking up with the EFDF, twin, bipe, pylon, EF38, DFstik and the Thrasher...would we make it past the front gate??

Mate you got no idea how laid back those guys are............ there were bugger all rules.(obvously the basics) AND I reckon th ef forum boys would be a huge part of gig with our LIGAF attitude. However we would have to find a club to join for insurance purposes. But i got that covered for the boys coz my bro an his mates a puttin together a club just for sole purpose of gettin insurance. so 100 bucks a year and ya can fly any where ya want almost.
and the fly in is free to go to

Mmmm send me the details...The airport here is getting controlled air space starting the end of the year..So We might have to make it all legal..

will do

Well out of pure frustration i braved 15 k winds and some nasty turbulence to have a crack at pylon v2. Damn camera has lost it`s sound. (maybe smacking into the ground from height/spending the day in my pocket/rolling around battery box, is not good for it[sm=confused.gif])

anyway all went well, plane is exactly what i want just need some more air time on it so i get fast and low.

Damn fchris... that little brid sure looks fast!! hmmmm... I think I may have a old wing that needs to go into the chop shop!

No joke, that was a lil more than 3/4 throttle but mostly half. i`d be lying if i said that it did't scare me a bit on that little oval. i`m running 6x4 nitro prop...........can`t wait for the apc e to arrive

Fixed the Twin. The Ex speed racer fuse is now the twin with metal servos and OS tail feathers.

I fitted a new motor (same as Jewys 2350) just kept on crushing the fuse at WOT, so it was time to scrap it..

Flying tomorrow is the thrasher, twin and a another modification to the Ex Dart..
It now has the Ex Speed Air UC in the wings and removed the Vtail..Had to fit a OVER size vert stab as the flex in the fuse ( no strenght) was going to cause problems so it has a stab back to 3/4 of the fuse...UGLY YEP

Hey i just got my electra fun and i was using it and it crashed and took about  a 2cm by 1 cm chip out of the wing. Will this affect my flight preformance 

Hi sporefan, welcome aboard. A chunk like that would probably have some effect but it's fixable. Small chunks can be sorted out by covering the gap with some fibre tape. Bigger chunks might need some filling with a foam cutout. Cardboard might do at a pinch. Try to keep the curve profile.

Can you post a pic of the damaged area? Also it's best to strengthen the wing first to prevent damage. If you search this thread you will find some good tips. If you don't find them just ask and we'll point you in the right direction.

Hi Sporefan.

Welcome to the madhatters EF fourm......Well some of us are mad, So I'm told..
You ask and we'll try and deliver....

The wing on the Twin has a huge chunk missing, Fiber tape is you best friend. Like Jewy said do some mods on the wing before the next flight....

Jewy did you have a problem with the fuse crushing? or did you beef it it up??

I have the ultimate ef mount now. A 28 or 40mm gws stick mount ground down. i just to took the bit where stick goes in off and glued it in place. Rigid and light

Fchris, is the motor in or out side of the fuse?

I've noticed the fuse near the motor gets real floppy when the motor gets hot. So far its only pushed in when I nose in hard but I'm sure it moves around while in the air. I did wrap some tape around the motor area to try strengthen it. Maybe wrapping the back end of the fuse in fibreglass sheet or epoxy would do the trick.

inside mate, great thing is ya just glue it to suit ya motor. (front or rear shaft.) I used a 28mm but i reckon a 40mm would be better to fill out the cavity a bit, i had to pack the sides on the 28 to get it firm in there. a bit but no dramea on the pylon which is a 2600kv

By the way jaav watch this space for my ultra stick spad coming soon.

I should send you the pics of the 61 powered twin boom Spad in progress..FN huge.

yes pleeeze

Crashed the Twin slight damage...Engine thrust was uneven or wing problem all she wanted to do is drop the left wing..
then I heard the note of the engines change out of sync, then lost control...One of the ECS battery plugs came off and that was the one for the RX....In to the wet mud.

The Spad EX dart was very diferent after upgrade 6.3.4. Was'nt taking the wind to good. did some hard turns and loops then a hard landing had to drive it to the ground as it would float. Missed the vid footage, pressed the wrong FCO button..The 2nd flight was out of control it would roll over and was very unstable untill she did a perfect nose dive at speed in to the ground..Just as well the mud was wet.....Nice imprint of the nose cone and leading edge of the wing, gives you an idea how far she crushed.....Cause of the crash main spar was broken. Must have cracked it in the loops and the hard landing..Most of the landing on this are bellys or flex UC..This had steel struts.MMMMMM.

So I fired up the sons SPA3D. this is the 1st time Ive had fun with it. The bloody landings! with very strong winds it would just float..After the 3rd try I put her down on its tail in a semi hover...

The Thrasher came out speed sensor fitted, with diferent props then an all out with a 3 cell uncontrolable, all on vid.
