I have the EF 48 300 Extra and I flew it for the first time last week. Been flying the Eratix before this plane. The EF is a little different. A few trims and it will be flying like a champ.
@crookedtool : Tons of fun. I get spoiled with those side force tabs on my other edge. It really helps keep the plane much more stable by adding additional wing surface, vertically (horizontally in Knife Edge), and it keeps the air from rolling off the edge of the wing. The red edge (with side force) is much more stable than this one without. But this one will tumble and spin much easier. No resistance from side force tabs. Thanks again for watching and commenting!
@RCRedBaron Oh yeah, that makes sense. The side-force generators also act as air dams and would help a lot in a crosswind landing like that by allowing a lower stall-out speed. I didn't install them on my Typhoon 2 because I thought it would only help for knife edge. Thanks for the info!
@justlostagain : Thanks Man. It is very wild. I only went that crazy on 1st take off because I've seen it fly, although it flew with someone elses electronics, and not mine. Thanks again
nice bird.

Sweet plane, looks like fun!
How would the side-force generators help you with a harrier landing?

Good stuff ...
