Composite-ARF Extra 330<br />

Dave Stoik<br />

Prunedale, CA<br />

This gorgeous Extra took Dave only 45 hours to assemble! With a<br />

wingspan of 118 inches and a weight of 351/2 pounds, this Extra<br />

needs quite a bit of power to get into the air, and the Desert<br />

Aircraft 150cc engine provides it. Dave souped up his model with<br />

a set of Dalton Aviation carbon-fiber exhaust canisters, an<br />

Emcotec DPSI power box, dual Fromeco 4400mAh 7.4 lithium-ion<br />

batteries, 9 JR 8611 servos, 1 Hitec 5925 high-speed digital<br />

servo for throttle control, a Fromeco 2100mAh Li-ion battery for<br />

ignition, Airmodels' 32x11 propeller and, of course, mid-grade<br />

gasoline with a 100:1 Amsoil premixed fuel. Dave's Extra is sure<br />

to keep your eyes on the sky!<br />

>Richmond RC Harvard II<br />

Jim Meagher<br />

Naperville, IL<br />

Check out all of the high-tech modifications in this ARF! Jim<br />

has dressed up his plane with scale lights, a red rotating<br />

beacon, dual-wingtip Xenon strobe lights and an LED in the<br />

cockpit. He also modified the wing to accept 2 servos instead<br />

of the recommended 1 for the model's ailerons. Jim's Harvard II<br />

even uses flaperons. He powers his model with a GMS .61<br />

engine and also outfitted the plane with a Slimline Pitts<br />

muffler, a Futaba T6XA radio, 7 Hitec RCD servos and<br />

a Hydrimax 1450mAh battery pack.<br />
