RE: CARF Extra 260 2.6 CG
Thanks a lot guys for all your help, I extended my motor mount and moved all batteries to the front, but still needed 500gm to balance at 95mm, this will make the total weight 13KG, is it much?

CARF Extra 260 2.6 CG
Guys, I'm having difficulties with my CG, the plane is really tail heavy and I added around 900gm in the front to balance at 95mm as said in the catalog, I think something is wrong, because I'm using DA100 and I have 2 batteries on the CG and one in the front, please I need your help with this one, cause adding 900gm to the original weight of the plane will make it really heavy.

CARF Yak 55SP or Krill Katana 33% ?
Dears, I'm planning to buy either the [b][link=http://www.carf-models.com/public_carf/pages/shop/productModel.html?root=product&proId=2137&linkId=@6@2137&title=Yak 55SP 2.6m]CARF Yak 55SP 2.6[/link][/b] or the [b][link=http://krill-model.com/eu/en/index.php?id=kits&model=100]Krill Katana 33%[/link][/b], and I need your help to decide, I love 3d flying but I'm not an extreme 3d flyer, I need a plane that can do harriers with no wing rocking at all and is also easy to fly and land, I'm flying now the CARF Yak 55SP 2.1 and I love it, but it rocks a lot while in harrier.

Duralite 4300 Problem
Dears, I have a Duralite Li-Ion 2s2p 7.4V 4300 mah with the Duralite regulator placed on my N9 Synergy Heli, the problem is that after charging the battery it reads 8.3V with no load and goes down to 7.5V with 1amp load, is that normal or does it mean that the battery needs to be replaced? Also what is the best charging mah? do you have any charging tips?

Problems with extra330
Dears, I own a Carl Goldberg extra330 ARF with a DLE55, Hitec HS-5645MG on aileron and elavator, Hitec HS-7955TG on rudder, I've been flying the plane for like 2 months now but I'm having problems with some of the 3d manauvers specially the hovering and the harrier, it really is hard to put the plane in the harrier position it tends to stall very fast, even when entering the hovering position the wings start to flip right and left forcing me to increase the throttle to get out of the stall thus it gains altitude, I added weight to the tail (120gm) but still the plane is unstable, one of the good pilots at our feild said that the plane is bad and recommended to buy a new one, is it true? I mean the reviews for the plane were great, can anyone help me with this issue?

DLE55 needle setup
Dears, I bought a new DLE55 engine on my 27% extra 330, the engine just finished its first gallon should I start adjusting the needles as I haven't touched the needles yet it's still with its factory settings, I also hear a strange sound in the engine as if it tends to stop while runing I hear it on idle and even if I increased the throttle to a bit below half I still hear it, is it because I need to adjust the needles? cause one of the pilots at our field told me so. I use 92 octane gas and the oil mixture is 30:1.

DLE 55cc on Extra 330
Dears, I bought the GB Extra 330 ARF, and my first option for the engine is the DLE 55cc from hobby City but I really don't have any experience with gas engines and I don't know if this is a good engine or not, there's good reviews for the DL50 but this one is still new, also will this engine be so big for the plane? another thing; why this engine has a low RPM (7500) less than any other 50cc engine? My second option for the engine is the Turnigy HP50, I also I'm planing to use the Futaba S3305 High-Torque Standard Servo w/Metal Gears , are they any good? bare in mind that I do some 3d (hovering, knife edge, spins, inverted, etc..)

RE: OS 71 4S problem
I went today to one of the most experienced modelers in my area and we changed the prop to 13x6, we checked the valve clearances and timing, we checked the carburator and fuel line, then we tried the plane in the field; it was a little bit better but still not the power as it was before. He told me that he thinks its not bad, but I'm sure that power has gone much weaker than before.
