Now that looked like a great day of flying. Such a awesome plane. Like the bloopers at the end, had to laugh along with you and Freddie. Great camera work Freddie.
Nice flying, beautiful Plain, flies great, very visible. Good job monkeying around on the maiden flight. I like Monkeying around on maiden flights. And Freddy stole the show with his Bloopers. good job, guys.
Nice maiden of that super sweet plane. I have really enjoyed your experiences with the Extreme Flight planes and led me to get one from a friend that quit flying his 48" Extra 300V2.
It's just a great sized plane. Even with a little wind like we saw today, the plane just doesn't really care that much. A real pleasure to fly this size.
@@RCVideoReviews I took your advice on the 60” (and agree it is terrific - am using it at the Basic IMAC competition level), now also the 67”. Already ordered (to my wife’s chagrin).
I'm currently in communication with Extreme Flight regarding a wing warp in the 67" Skywing Laser. Didn't you have a similar experience and how did you resolve it? Thanks
I didn't resolve it. I left it alone and live with a slight amount of aileron. It could probably be fixed with a heat gun and a little bit of torque on the wing tip to get it in line.
@@RCVideoReviews yeah I think Futaba, JR and Spektrum are slowly on their way out like cable tv, I still use Futaba and Spektrum but I am transitioning out slowly. The fact that you can now buy a radio like the pocket and have better signal over long distance is amazing.
@@samuellp1146 - Just a FYI tidbit - Spektrum is the original application of 2.4 GHz spread spectrum radio systems to radio control models. It was originally developed by Paul Beard. Insider's scoop: Spektum is working on the NEXT innovation which will match and surpass the present systems by all manufactures, including themselves AND FCC accepted and regulated. It will have a similar effect to the RC community just like when 2.4 GHz did to 27, 72 and etc. where we could not fly at the same time when some one else was flying on our frequency - remember the "clothes pins" on the frequency board 🤔😊😉
I have the same plane. Hopefully going up next weekend. Couple of questions, where was your initial cg and do you have a link to the battery? I couldnt find it. or do you happen to know the weight of it? Thanks
IMHO, ELECTRIC is the NEW GASSER - I love the NO tuning, NO mess, etc AND with the AUTOMATIC SMART charge and discharge batteries and charger you can't get much easier - just plug in and fly!! - IMHO 😉😊👍
Def looks like a big winner and my next plane
You won't regret it. Awesome plane. I love this one.
The flying was great. The clouds were next level, man. They look almost unreal.
Thank you! Nice comment.

Thanks for the nice comment Jeff. Glad you enjoyed the video.
OMG! That plane is gorgeous! Great scheme!
It really is a beautiful plane. Couldn't be happier with it.
@@RCVideoReviews Awesome! Id get one if I had the money.

Thanks Dave. I'm glad I have an Orange White and Blue Extra again.
That plane is sick! The roll rate is insane
It is a special plane. I believe it is probably one of the best models you can get.
Nice maiden of that super sweet plane. I have really enjoyed your experiences with the Extreme Flight planes and led me to get one from a friend that quit flying his 48" Extra 300V2.
I'm sure that's an awesome plane too. I have a couple 48" EF planes and love 'em. Thanks for the nice comment.
Definitely correct those decals are not needed at all , great flight nice skills 👍👍
Thank you!
What a nice plane. Looks like a dream to fly. Keep up the good work John and Freddie.
Thank you Mr. Bill.
I love your maiden routine.
Thank you.
Nice plane! That’s what happens when it’s not sunny. I would have loved to see that crankshaft instead of a shadow silhouette. Nice flying!
love the out takes!!!
:) I put those in now and then to reward people who watch to the end. So thanks for watching the whole video! Appreciate you.
I have had a Hangar Nine 67" Extra 330SC for about 6 years and it is my go to plane. Easy to transport, easy to see, and fly. I use a 5500mah battery.
It's just a great sized plane. Even with a little wind like we saw today, the plane just doesn't really care that much. A real pleasure to fly this size.
I envy how easy you make it look.
I know he says he doesn’t have the 3d skills but I think he secretly does , he flies them so well
I appreciate it, but I still consider myself a novice and aspiring 3D pilot. There's a lot to learn and I need to move all of it closer to the ground.
just ordered one , imho need ot fly a little harder man shows us what its got
I'm doing what I can do.
Nice maiden too btw!
Thanks!
What battery packs are you using and what do your flight times usually look like? Thanks.
6s4000's work well in these planes for about 6-7m depending on how hard I fly it.
@@RCVideoReviews Thank you.
Very nice plane and good test flight. Do yo know the wing loading on the plane?
860sq in on an estimated 8lb auw is about 1.3395 lb/ftsq
Nice review. When will you do more of this but with the latest RM newest elrs receivers and betafpv?
This plane has RM ER6 in it right now. So the next time you see it on a video, that's what it'll have.
Which do you prefer this 260 or the 67” Laser? And why? I am having trouble making a choice. Thanks.
I prefer the Laser. I like the way it lands better and I have better success conducting the maneuvers I know how to do.
@@RCVideoReviews I took your advice on the 60” (and agree it is terrific - am using it at the Basic IMAC competition level), now also the 67”. Already ordered (to my wife’s chagrin).
Nice vid. Does the 67" Extra 260 seem easier to hover than say, your 60" laser?
Boy that's a hard call. Let's just say it hovers quite well. Makes me look better than I am.
Sounds like you gave the T-Motor a 👍.
I thought you would like it.
Oh no doubt. This motor pulled like a freight train on this plane. Wow--I'm a poet. Definitely good power.
Nice video and flight. I'm a gas and glow man but this plane looks really great. Extreme flight makes quality planes so maybe buy one next time. 🙃
It's a beautiful plane for sure.
Camera man has gotten really good.
Thank you! I'm sure he'll appreciate the kind comment.
You does this plane compare to the Skywing Laser 67?
They're both excellent. You won't go wrong with either one.
Did you find out why it wasnt reporting low voltage? gonna guess it might have something to do with the ELRS.
I added the logic but forgot to add the special function to activate the alert. ELRS was pretty much flawless. I even posted my RF logs on discord.
Have you tried HRB batteries? Amazon has them for 50 bucks for a 6s 5000 mah I’m tempted to give a try. What batteries do you recommend?
I have. I use HRBs on my smaller helis. Right now I'm a big fan of Liperiors. Decent performance to price equation.

they're sending me a new left wing. was that the wing you perceived as warped?@@RCVideoReviews
you have many planes. I, only a few. If you could bolster my account with extreme flight I would greatly appreciate it. why did your first one wreck?
What 6s batteries are you using? Thx
Liperior from rcbattery.com
Sorry meant to ask what mah?
Why use wing-tip fences?
"Side force generators" - they help decrease wing rocking at stall speeds when flying 3D.
I like to fly them with and without to see if they help make certain maneuvers easier as @flipfpv pointed out.
what kind of radio and receiver are you using for this plane? I am assuming Radiomaster tx 16s and Elrs?
Correct on both counts.
@@RCVideoReviews yeah I think Futaba, JR and Spektrum are slowly on their way out like cable tv, I still use Futaba and Spektrum but I am transitioning out slowly. The fact that you can now buy a radio like the pocket and have better signal over long distance is amazing.
Yup. Agreed. Dollar for dollar, I wouldn't trade my Radiomaster or ELRS for any other tech available at this point in time.

@@re3065 alright I am going to have to look into this now👍
More Freddie bloopers!
Freddie is a hoot isn't he?
I have the same plane. Hopefully going up next weekend. Couple of questions, where was your initial cg and do you have a link to the battery? I couldnt find it. or do you happen to know the weight of it? Thanks
I used Liperior 6s5000's and they weigh 795g. CG was over the spar tube.
My bad I mistakenly called Oliver
Owen sorry Oliver
I heard you say it and though...uhhh, ok.
Is Fred your Dad he sounds like my grandpa kind of
No he is not. Just a good friend.
Still not a gasser.... but not too shabby... lol
Not too shabby. Beautiful plane. I'm happy I got it.
@@RCVideoReviews oh yeah. Can't go wrong with any Extreme Flight planes.

@@re3065 mmmmm...... agree to disagree...
Don't like the side force generators on it , just my opinion.
You can see why they sold out in 12 hours😅
Yup, you gotta jump on EF planes when they're available. This one sells out fast.
