  • Thrust offset help with an EFXtra

    Ok....I motor slammed my efxtra into the earth (as well as my havok, I've only been flying 3 months or so very new new ie mistakes made 😦)

    I fixed my efxtra today, mounted it all back into place, is the thrust offset on these supposed to look like this? I am told it's normal by our AI Friends but they are not always correct with what they say...I know the offset is there but can anyone give me a little information please if this looks correct?

    Ps: plane is upside down obviously, also I made my plane stand homemade out of a rollable laptop tray...please don't laugh lol...and it's on the box's so it dries

    Thanks anyone

      Do you have an efxtra? The plane has some serious tork like it's twists in your hand at full throttle allot...I'm very new to this hobby

        One doesn't have to have an EFXtra to know when something is not right. Thrust line deflection is a fairly typical concept but if you want a more difinitive answer, just Google it ....................

        (built-in offset to counteract propeller torque), the HobbyKing (Durafly) EFXtra typically comes with approximately 2° to 3° of down-thrust and 2° to 3° of right-thrust built into the motor mount and firewall at the factory.
        (And YES, I used to have one. Actually, I had 2.)
