    PRE-FLIGHT CHECKS:...
  • Page 15: Flying The Efxtra

    Very soon after launching you will see just how rock solid the EFXTRA is in flight, but keep in mind the EFXTRA gets small quickly at full throttle!
  • Page 16 A true testament to the EFXTRA’s design however is its slow flying ability and how well it handles even without power. This is in no way more apparent than when landing. Though the EFXTRA does have a relatively high glide rate, it benefits from a very low stall speed, so you can comfortably increase elevator input at slow speeds without the risk of a stall.
  • Page 17: Efxtra Tips

    EFXTRA tips: 1. If the stock set still isn’t given you enough speed, the stock motor in the EFXTRA is the perfect motor for 6S to give you 150mph+ HOWEVER, you will need to change the prop to a 5.5x5.5 and change the ESC for one rated at 80amps. With a 1500mah 6S, you can expect flight times of not more than 3mins, but what a 3mins that will be! 2.
