- So I finally feel like the Extra is where I want it to be. I ended up moving the CG as far forward as I could without adding nose weight. I also opted to reduce my overall rates in low / sport rate in place of adding additional Expo. Expo is great at giving a soft center stick feel while retaining full range of motion at deflection but it also reduces precision dramatically around mid stick deflection.... so during a knife edge or while fine tunning a flat spin your riding at the point where the rate curve exponential really starts taking off and you end up losing alot of ability for small adjustments in that zone.
So I ended up reducing rates to 55% in low but also reducing expo from 40%to 30% and Ill probably drop that down into the 20s as I feel out where I want it to be. Additionally I may make some adjustments to my mid rates which are normally still 100% but high expo ... maybe 30-40% and high rates are 100% with almost no expo.
I picked up this plane from another club member. I also found it to be tail heavy. Added a little weight to the nose and also pushed the battery all the way forward. Great plane, now.
100g on its nose and started with 50% rates & 50% expo, flies great, have progressed to 80% rates still 50% expo but I'm getting there. Hate the wire undercarriage. My Arrows edge has symmetrical wire so can reverse it and bend it back, Extra's need the vice. plastic gear parts removed
@@patrickhoyle8357 I had the Arrows edge 540 but gave it to my neighbor, I almost think it flys better than the extra 🤣. I’ll try the nose weight this weekend, mine is still a touch tail heavy but it’s pretty close to neutral now.
Once I go over about 35% expo it starts to feel funny to me at mid stick, this thing is pretty twitchy so I can definitely understand going that high if it doesn’t bother you.
