Summer and good wethers are almost here so its time for outdoor flying, my first outdoor project for 2008 season is Extreme Flight 58 inch Extra 300.
Few words about my electric Extra setup;
Battery; Flight power EVO25 3700mah 5S packs, each of them is about 480-490g with connectors.
Motor; Torque Revolution.
Prop; APC-E 15x8.
Servos, Hitec 225mg on wings, Airtronic 94751 and HS 5245mg on elevator.
RTF weight is 2564g.
Such setup have crazy power! I never had plane outdoor plane with such performance! Flight Power lypos are amazing, i set my thr curve on radio to 90 percents, and still i don't need to move stick all way up! Affter 5 cycles of brake in lypo batteries i set timer to 7;30min flying time. After 7;30 quite hard 3D flight i have to charge packS about 3000mah, and packs affter flight are just little warm.
Good idea is to put white tape on side of battery to start marking (with marker short line on side of pack) each charging, so i will be able to know and share with you real numbers of cycles/flights i can make with top brand product. My first EF Extra video. Quite windy day, but plane handle wind well.
Music in video is Drop kick Murphys - Rocky Road To Dublin and Dire Straits - Brothers In Arms.
Most interesting/usseful threads about EF Extra on big forums; RCgroups , RCUniverse, Flying Giants . My own thread on Flying Giants . Great building review on RCgroup.
Also don't forget to visit thread on RCUniverse about big 50CC Extra.
