[NSRCA-discussion] Extreeme Flight Extra 300 (Brio 10)

[rcmaster199 at aol.com]

The electric mini brio (embrio, if you will, for short) flies pretty poorly. I bought into the hoopla also when it first came out, since a bunch of pattern folks were touting its virtues. Wing is small and too thick, with a LE radius that is too large.
 
It can be made to fly much better by building a new wing from foam, reducing wing weight to half the original, and increasing the area by 10% or so. Also, if you choose to do that, reduce the LE radius to about half the original and wing thickness at about 10% of the chord. 
 
One of these days, when this working deal slows down, I may put an article together of exactly what I am doing on it.

            Here I was—bragging on the good characteristics of the Extra and didn’t have all that much good to say about the Brio 10 a while back.  I was trying to get the stock spinner to work on it last night (it flat won’t with an APC) and when building—I neglected to seal the surfaces.  I may have a different opinion on the Brio now.  We’ll see….

Thanks for the videos.  Must be great to be young and quick fingered!

I've just started flying my own, I love it! I need a little more servo on the surfaces (S-75s). I just put a JR SM22 on the elevator, and plan on ordering some Fut3110s for everything.
 
BTW, check out the videos a friend of mine shot. I did some of the flying, but the best flying is when Chris Hinson was at the sticks!

Per Larry, got the Extra in the air with an E-flight Power 10, Tanic
2080-3s1ps, CC35, Fut3110s on ailerons and Hitec 56s on rud and elev., FMA
dual conv. Rec. on 07 with the ant. coiled around a 1 1/4 X 1/4 pc of balsa
stuck on the turtle deck for shortening. 11 X 5.5 E APC. The little bomb
flies so well, I'm thinking Hmmm, little digitals may be in its future! I'm
impressed. They are slicker than they look.

Thanks Larry,

Richard
