<DIV>The best place to get the BME is from Jeff at <A
href="http://www.e-flightline.com/">http://www.e-flightline.com/</A></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I also highly recommend his Cobri gear box and himax 2025-5300 motor
combo. Although I think a 5.7/1 ratio used with a 12x6 E (NOT the
slowfly) prop is better than the ratio they were recommending. There are
some awesome videos on his site of Kyle W. flying the plane.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The Cobri/Himax inrunner is better than the outrunner setups in my mind for
two reasons - throttle response is much crisper and you can fine tune gear
ratios to suit any plane/prop combo over a much wider range of
speed/thrust/power ranges. Lots more options.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The outrunners are of course much simpler and run quieter. I like the
way the inrunner fly much better.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>In the beginning of that RC Groups thread I posted are pictures of how to
do the motor mounting and some recommended mods.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>On the BME I recommend the following mods - </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Power system: Cobri 5.7/1 box/Himax 2025-5300, 12x6 APC E, TP 2100
prolites</DIV>
<DIV>I like the Futaba S3110 servos. Lots of torque and fast and center well. On
the down side - they strip kind of easily and have short leads and come with no
mounting screws - but they are a very good price. Definitely better than HS55's
or S75's.</DIV>
<DIV>Glue the wings on permanently</DIV>
<DIV>Reinforce the cowl with some tape on the inside edge.</DIV>
<DIV>Up-Grade landing gear to the first ones shown here at the top of the page
listed for the mini Funtana. They fit great and are 5 times as strong.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>

<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I always add a stearable tailwheel - the Dubro 40 size works
well. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Jeff also caries the Extreemflight extra, but doesn't show it on his page
yet.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>3D Hobby shop carries the Extra and <A
href="http://www.atlantahobby.com/shopexd.asp?id=6017">http://www.atlantahobby.com/shopexd.asp?id=6017</A> is
the distributor I believe. All are good people to deal with.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>On my Extra I'm running a Hacker A30-16M with APC 12x6 E and TP 2100
prolites. Its got tons of power but I'm pushing motor and batts to the upper
edges of their limits. Lots of throttle management needed. Next version will
have an inrunner on a Cobri gear box - probably the small Neu - haven't decided
which wind yet. The Torque power system recommended by Atlanta hobby has gotten
consistent good reviews too.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The best servos for the Extra seem to be the Hitec HS65's. A tad heavier
than the Futabas and a good bit slower and twice the price, but the gear train
has <STRONG>zero slop</STRONG> and they don't strip out as easily. They work
very well on 6 volts with a seperate BEC.</DIV>
