ExtremeFlight Team Pilot Maidens my ExtremeFlight Plane! 78" Extra NG

ExtremeFlight attended the 2024 RCVR Fly-In and it just so happened, I had a maiden flight planned the day they arrived. So I asked Antonio to do the honors and boy was it something to see. Thanks to PCBWay for sponsoring this video.

Thank for the stick time John! Had a good time out there!

[@RCVideoReviews]

Thank you for sharing your talent with us. Truly a pleasure to watch you do your thing.

[@MrZeek101]

Oh my gosh, what an amazing pilot that's going to be a tough act to follow. John, great job. Great build Dave. Great flight. Antonio and thanks for buying it. John 😂😅🤣

[@RCVideoReviews]

I've got my work cutout, that's for sure :) Gotta step it up I guess.

[@davidpaker626]

👍🙂

[@ulfhedlund5861]

Very interesting to get the team pilots expert view and insights to trimming etc. Thanks for another great video!

[@RCVideoReviews]

You're very welcome. Thank you for the kind comment.

[@reckemroysrc3764]

Love getting a pros advice on set up. Damm he's a good pilot 👏 👌 😊

[@RCVideoReviews]

No doubt!

[@davidpaker626]

That was really Amazing flying , A great Show, The guys from extreme flight are very nice . and the airplane is gorgeous.

[@RCVideoReviews]

Amen 100% agree.

[@mhk1058]

Just great!

[@RCVideoReviews]

Right? Antonio is an amazing pilot.

[@markhaman2018]

Great video. I liked the comments on high rates and tweak expo. Trying to work into that. I will watch again to figure out how he determined it was nose heavy for him.

[@RCVideoReviews]

During knife edge he had to hold more rudder than he liked for level ke flight. Moving the batteries back would allow less rudder for level ke flight and give more tail authority--which is important to 3D guys like this.

[@Tom-wl9sx]

Nice flight and plane! That's really how all maidens should be done! 🙃

[@michaelfargnoli3501]

Awesome .. Exciting having edgetx and elrs for fixed wing!. Thanks for the great content

[@RCVideoReviews]

You're welcome. Thanks for the kind comment.

[@tap9083]

Wow very impressive. Thank you as always for a great informative video. Would you mind sharing your build, (Motor, esc, Servos) Thank you

[@cadbuildflyrc3784]

Nice airplane and flying.

[@RCVideoReviews]

Thanks. Great day all around.

[@riskninja8194]

Antonio CRUSHED it! What motor were you using?

[@RCVideoReviews]

AM780 from tmotor.

[@beonyou]

Nice flight. Really appreciate the "light acrobatics" concept ! Tell Antonio to come back for a real strong acrobatics demo !!! :-D

[@RCVideoReviews]

Watch the last video I just posted. You'll get it.

[@slange455]

Good advice I usually setup dual rates but 99% of the time I’m on high rate with lots of expo 65 to 70+

[@RCVideoReviews]

That's about where I am, but I took the plunge on my last maiden (ARS 300) and tried it without dual rates. I think I'll be switching over slowly.

[@The725Trap]

Awesome maiden

[@RCVideoReviews]

Agreed

[@garycaruso4883]

At this size is a carbon prop really lighter? I would expect they are heavier? would like to know actual weights, which most places don't post in specs.

[@FelipeCerdaBarra]

Great video! BTW what's the airplane on the back at the end of the video? The one covered with a white cloth

[@RCVideoReviews]

That's an EF 67" Extra 260 RxR under the EF Solar Shield for 60-70" planes.

[@joeheffern5118]

What motor are you running in this plane? Power looked incredible..

[@RCVideoReviews]

It's a pre-production 40cc T-Motor. Not available retail just yet.

[@jadamian75]

I would like to see a video of the Blue and cub yellow Raven. It looks like the colors will pop in the air

[@cobaltjones]

My Avian 120 forbids the use of an auxiliary battery in the manual. It has two leads for the BEC. It claims the third battery is unnecessary. What do you think about this?

[@RCVideoReviews]

I think I'd find a different ESC.

[@cobaltjones]

It's designed specifically to not require additional components. They did spark a revolution with 2.4@@RCVideoReviews

[@cobaltjones]

you were right. the ESC started smoking and I quickly disconnected it and sent it back.@@RCVideoReviews

[@trevorfurlotte]

Awesome. Is the parts list and setup in a video or posted on discord? If I wanted to assemble this exact plane has the complete list been posted? ESC, motor, servos, battery etc?

[@RCVideoReviews]

No. The motor is pre-production. The ESC is first time use (ZTW Mantis G2 130a), and since I didn't fly it, I didn't link it. Batteries are always Liperior. In this case 2x6s5000 75c. Servos are KST X20-4208. Xoar 22x10. Receiver is Radiomaster ER6 and I used a PDB from servo city.

[@trevorfurlotte]

@@RCVideoReviews thanks for the reply. I appreciate all your hard work and great content.

[@waynemiller6070]

@@RCVideoReviews thanks, I heard 6S. But I didn't know if it was one or two. Sounds like Antonio would've gone for a lighter pair of batteries.

[@waynemiller6070]

Would've liked to seen the canopy off, to see where the batteries were located.

[@cobaltjones]

Amazing plane and flying. Let me ask you how much time can I expect with two 4S 3000mah each in series? The motor is a 35cc equivalent. 73" AJ Raven

[@RCVideoReviews]

Not much. This one flies for about 6m using 2x6s4k. You're going down in both voltage and capacity, so amperage goes up while your 'gas tank' goes down. My 70" slick flies with 6s6200 and it is on the low end of acceptable to me for flight time.

[@cobaltjones]

your 70" slick uses one or two six cells?@@RCVideoReviews

[@cobaltjones]

should I go with two 5k 6 cells?

[@jaylargo5311]

SWEET AIRPLANE and yes max rates always🤨

[@RCVideoReviews]

Yeah, beautiful plane. Love it.

[@re3065]

May I ask what did he have set up for expo and rates?

[@RCVideoReviews]

No rates. 100% throw with 70% on elevator and aileron, 65% on rudder.

[@re3065]

I am sorry, I asked the question before I watched the video all the way to the end in which it was discussed 😖😉 @@RCVideoReviews

[@danmartinrc]

Did Antonio make you do a check ride before he handed it back to you? 😅

[@RCVideoReviews]

:)
