Re: Extreme Flight Extra 300 60"

I should add I don't do half the stuff Will can and not at that speed so that's probably why mine work ok with no mod. Lol!!

I use these same idea but the spring keeps them level. They have worked well for me. Yes Will weathers gone to heck up here too. Plus side get to leave early and get some ski flying in on my twist 40.

I use these:

The only mod I do is to insert a collar (for the axle)with a 3/4" long Allen bolt inside the triangular mount and put another one like that on the farther end of the axle so the ski doesn't flex or move. Other wise on first knife spin, the skies would be upside down.

Hi Daryll, once you put them in, let me know how it works for you. I know it is time consuming but is worth it at the end

Sure thing Ryan! I will look forward to hear how it feels once you put them in. I was hoping to be able to do some flying this weekend but the weather just went south here..yikes!

Do you run yours on a switch or all the time? I think I'm way light because my 2650 packs are 2 1/4" from the wing tube and the 3000 are 1 3/4" of course I'm still a bit nose heavy (just a bit) cause I'm still learning the plane. I will slowly start to adjust. The fun of a new build!! As for the next fun fly I'm there!!
Yeah, don't lawn dart this one lol, that was funny.
When I first tried the plane was on a 5S setup and I had the battery pretty forward to get the CG where I wanted but I found the plane to be a bit too light for me, it just didn't locked in, then when I switched to the 6S setup it was way better, the extra little bit of weight was great.

I don't run my mixes on a switch, I have them permanently on, so all you have to do is roll, hold rudder and power and ta-da! lol

Cheers,

Will
