Glad you got something from the video... Appreciate you watching. The elevator mix was with down elevator. You may need to tweak your setting, but its a good start.

I think it was the power to the RX from the BEC. I noticed the connection was a little loose.

I haven't done anything with the additional setup for AS3X+ on that plane. I plan of it though. Maybe take the gear off and hand launch with launch assist.. One more thing on the list.

Thanks Larry, Appreciate your comments.

Setting up the initial throws so you can fly the plane without crashing it is super important. Then after the maiden, you start to tweak. The issue with aerobatic planes with HUGE control surfaces is when I setup with too much throw and not enough expo. Makes for an unpleasant maiden.

IKR…. Great plane. Everyone should have one

@SteffenRC thinking of getting the mini now. To keep in the car

Ha.. I have a feeling you have figured it out....

Todd, This Laser is my first EF plane. I found myself looking at the 67" planes today.. Ha... Love it.

@@SteffenRC yeah, the whole “bigger flies better” and “balsa flies better” seems to ring true. The 84” Bushmaster is about as big as I can go given storage and transport (fuselage is about as long as the Yak), but for sport/3D 60” seems to be a sweet spot. I’m betting the 49” Laser will be great but more of a handful. I think my next one will be an Edge 540, and maybe I should measure the back of the vehicle to see if the fuselage for a 67” will fit 😀

Are you saying when you take your hands off the sticks, the plane rolls right? Have you trimmed the plane? Almost every plane will need some trimming on that maiden flight. The Reflex gyro shouldn't change the roll...

@ thanks for the reply. Believe we found the issue. Gyro was mounted wrong. That will cause some issues! I will also double check the trims!

Good point. Thanks for the tip. Will

Thanks for the comments about my videos.. Appreciate it. Yes, the 3700 will fit in the battery bay, but I fear it may make it nose heavy.. You'll need to push the battery as far back as possible. Will

As I've upgraded many planes to the larger size, I really appreciate being able to see whats going on with the plane and I can respond accordingly. The smaller planes are fun for sure. But now, I prefer the bigger planes. My eyes aren't what they used to be either.... Thanks for commenting. Will

Thanks. This plane is wonderful and looks fantastic. I practice the heck out of landings. Nothing better than the perfect landing. Appreciate the comment. Will

Very true. I try and stress to new pilots to keep the plane close. Also, don't try to do aerobatic stunts far away. That spells orientation disaster... Thanks for the comment. Will

Its always a pilot problem....

The T-motor AM600 was a perfect fit for the existing holes and blind nuts installed in the firewall. I didn't need to mess with a thing. Except solder an XT90 to the included ESC. I didn't get the program module, but since the motor/esc were already setup for my need. (timing and 7.4v) that wasn't an issue either.

@SteffenRC yes but did you know the T. Motor back plate would fit straight on or were you lucky? Doesn't the esc come with a connector, or just the wrong one? Great ideas by the way :-)

Yes, per the comments from EF and other reviewers I knew the T-Motor would fit. The T-Motor ESC didn't have a connector installed. Had to solder that. The Bullets connectors were installed though.

Thanks Adam. I'm getting used to her. Just need to learn some cool tricks to really show her off.

Thanks Michael, Super happy I went with this plane. The assembly was great, she looks outstanding and flies better than I could ever.. Love to see her in your capable hands. If I plan a trip to West MI, I'll bring it..😎

No doubt. The combo is amazing.. T-Motor is the only way to go for these plane.. (in my humble opinion)

Appreciate the info/tips. When I buy my 67", its all epoxy.... Thanks.

Very good chance... Flew it a bit this am before the wind it. She's very nice flying.

Thanks for the suggestion. Appreciate the insight and advice. Will

Thanks.. The power is off the charts.. Lots of fun. Now, I need to learn to fly the heck out of it.

Thanks. I look forward to your first solo flight on your Extra...

Thanks. She's a sweet plane with crazy power and performance.. Whats not to like.

Scotty, Thats a pop top. Your glider probably can't do that type of maneuver. However, I'll try to describe it. Full power straight up, aileron left, cut power and apply full rt rudder and full down and center the ail. Its a tumbling thing. Need a lot of throw to make it happen.

@@SteffenRC cool ! I WILL be trying that ! Thanks for the great info !

Yep, I need to get used to her and start expanding my aerobatic skills for sure. This plane can do anything I may want to do... Thanks

Thanks.. Yep, the weather was good enough and I just had to get her in the air. Wonderful plane for sure.

Can't wait to get her hovering off the deck.

Thanks. I really enjoy flying it.

I agree 👍🏻

I already mentioned that last video, but to be fair I believe EF does mention CA for a plane this size.

The reason for CA is weight. They count grams at EF, which is why they make the best 3D/XA planes on the planet. On a 60" CA is fine, bigger than that epoxy all the way.

@@ModelAV8RChannel Respectfully I disagree you could remotely tell the difference. The delta is insignificant unless you’re an absolute clown with the amount of Epoxy you’re using. There is likely more variation in the balsa LOL.

@5280Recreation So call and ask them. I'm friends with Ben Fisher from EF and we've talked at length about the design of their planes. That's the reason they gave me on the smaller planes (60 and below). There are a lot of little things that individually are insignificant but together make a difference I suppose. Hell, they compare and weigh different tail wheel types to save a few grams. Lol. Bottom line is it doesn't matter if you get one you can put it together with anything you want to. Will will tell you that while that is what they recommend... I told him that if it were me, I'd have used epoxy on the control horns for the elevator and rudder, but that he'd probably be fine with CA on a 60. EF has tested the crap out of these things with Pilots that stress them more than you or I do.

Yep.. Almost every day I fly. Outstanding investment.

No manscaping here my friend... This is a pretty cool piece of kit for sure. Very handy.

Hmmm. Not a chance... V8 all the way..

Right?!

@ very cool 👍🏼 👍🏼

Its a very impressive setup. I use it more than I thought. You're right. Others find it handy too. While its not ideal for 5000mah 6s, its perfect for the 2200's 3&4s..

Nice video Will. By the way I have a rake I can lend you.😊

Ha.. Does your labor come with the rake.. I could pay you $20.

Wow, That was a while ago. Its a wonderful club and flying location.

@@charlesrestivo870 it is melting a little. But works for several lens. Then I make another if needed.

I do. I take off the right wing, so it fits in the back of my truck with ease and speeds up the assembly a little. Its one of the best planes out there. Simply amazing and easy to fly/land.

@@ThomasBrock74 probably. I just followed the Extreme Flight directions. They use CA for their 60”.

Adam, It was a hardy group of pilots for sure. But we all had a blast. The Air Boat in the pits was the highlight for me too...

Thats stinks.. Sorry you gotta go through that.. The FlySky stuff isn't top shelf. Its on the cheap end. So, you can either buy a new flysky TX or if you really like this Hobby, I'd look for a new or slightly used Spektrum NX8. Also, this time of year Swap meets are common. Great place to get a gently used TX. You'll need a new rx too. Good idea for a video. Will

Its a fun hobby for sure. I've been in and out of it several times. Hope you grab one of those planes, take it to your shop and start messing with it. Next thing, you'll order some new gear and start up again... Maybe??? Thanks for the comments and watching. Will

I pull the pins.

Creative clamping is the name of the game sometimes....

Thomas, Thanks for the kind words. Really appreciate it. I remember spending hours on my buddies Atari in the early 80's. What a great time to be a kid. Thanks for the flashback. My understanding is this Integral and the Futura were both designed by Tomahawk. Interesting designs that fly very well. This plane is no longer in my hanger. (a buddy is enjoying it now...). I'm with you, NOT a fan of adapters. Especially in AMP hungry EDFs. I've used them, but usually on review planes I'm not going to keep. You comments about Intelligence would be strongly debated against by my wife..... Thanks Will

We sure did, it was a blast. A bit cold.. But so much fun..
