Extra 300 RC

14.2k SilverStar  2.2 years ago

History of the build

One month ago, I have found the 3D Katana made by AnIndonesianpeapole, I was quite impressed while testing it, so at that moment I decided to build an RC airplane. When I started building it, I understood that it was quite a challenge, because it was quite difficult to build really small parts (for example I could'nt use resizable wheel part because the scaling doesn't work well). Flight physics were different than normal size too. But I got to the end, it works fine, the livery looks very good, I'm happy with the result. I hope you will like it too !

I was mostly inspired by the E-Flite Extra 300 3D, and for the Radio transmitter, the Spektrum DX6 (Mode 1).
Towards the end of build, I didn't know if it could be compatible with VR, because the joysticks like on the real remote controls don't exist in SimplePlanes. I tried to put hand grips, someone told me it was working fine, so you can control it with the Radio transmitter ! (which is in "Mode 1")

Flight controls

Normal flight controls
AG1/First switch "C" on the Radio: Open the battery hatch (There is also a button at the back of the hatch).

Advices:
More throttle = More agility because of the airflow created by the propeller.
Trim: -30% or more ;
Takeoff: Pull half pitch or more, liftoff ~22kts ;
3D Flying: Vertical stationary flight ~70% throttle.

    Pretty neat, however, I like Tactic radios better than Spektrum :)
