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

[Richard Strickland]

My experiment this weekend with it is to prop it down(10/5E) to where it’ll run on a 1500 pack—flies heavy with the bigger packs.

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….
