I had one of these years ago and as I understand it there is an updated design now. Back then I used a Saito 125 with the stock mount and it reall flew pretty well best I remember and from my own...

RE: Phoenix Extra 330S 60-90 Size

Also you could have too much elevator throw that would cause a high speed stall that would drop a wing. For normal flying and aerobatics you won't need much elevator, if you cg is where you don't...

RE: Phoenix Extra 330S 60-90 Size

A "scale" extra is not going to turn as tight as a sport design. Are you sure you just aren't trying to turn to tight? You just don't have the wing to support tight turns.

RE: Phoenix Extra 330S 60-90 Size

I have had a chance to fly mine a few times. The plane flies pattern stuff great. Rolling manuvers, like circle, and loops are good, and it rolls axial. Rudder does induce some coupling to the...

RE: Phoenix Extra 330S 60-90 Size

Finished! 7lbs 2 ozs. That is with a heavy MA paint stirrer for a prop. A good wood one will save me an oz. but if I add a spinner that will cost me 1.5 ozs. Who needs a stinking spinner? :D ...

RE: Phoenix Extra 330S 60-90 Size

Got a little more done today. Also threw just about everything in the fuse that was not yet installed and put her together for a weigh in. Right now on my digital fish scales she weighs 6lbs 12.5...

RE: Phoenix Extra 330S 60-90 Size

I was originally going to run a OS 91FX on this plane, but picked up s good deal on the Saito 125. So I am going to have a low time good running 91FX for sale cheap!


I think I will move the...

RE: Phoenix Extra 330S 60-90 Size

I think I am going to try a 15-4 wide to begin with. I usually only fly profiles, and 35% planes so this plane is a step down, and I am not sure just what prop I will end up with as I have not had a...

RE: Phoenix Extra 330S 60-90 Size

I am also planning on not using the wheel pants or gear fairings, (which are really nice) and will most likely cut out most of the bottom of the cowling. I don't see much else that can really be...

RE: Phoenix Extra 330S 60-90 Size

The Tower 75, and an OS91 fx weigh within an oz of each other, according to Tower's Website. I have done some lightning too. Removing the pilot, and canopy floor was worth almost 1.75 ozs, and...

RE: Phoenix Extra 330S 60-90 Size

Can you measure the tip, root and length of each wing panel? Also need to know how wide the fuse is to calculate the wing area? Thanks!
