    48" Edge 540 Building, Flying, and Questions

    Good call on that...mine only has 12 landings, and I'm already seeing evidence of my landing skills. I also left off the leg fairings as well...figured I'd put them on later on once I'm used to it. Kinda glad I did too because that wire gear definitely gives :rolleyes:

    Futaba 14SG

    That's awesome that you got to handle one, and great feedback! I know there was speculation that it is essentially the same case as the 8FG, but I really liked the way that one felt anyway (one of its selling points for me), so that wasn't a deterrent for me. I read about the switch placement...

    Wow...it always amazed me living in AZ how phx can be like summer, and less than 2hrs away its snow.... You're right, 3D guys usually go in the evenings. Random workdays and sometimes on weekends. Weekend mornings are avoided since the field is usually packed and 3D flying gets: :cursing...

    Finally got my maiden in today :ecstatic: This thing is so awesome to fly. Needed one click of right aileron and one click down elevator and it was perfect. Unfortunately, only got one pack through and I started loosing light...but that was a FUN 6 minutes! I am the farthest thing from being...

    DX8 or not?

    In my opinion, its worth the upgrade...especially since you plan on sticking with Spektrum, I think you will feel the jump, and then be able to justify and feel better about the extra cash you spent. I've heard/known of a few folks that were on DX6i's or DX7's that upgraded to DX8 and felt a...

    The Hardest Thing To Figure Out

    Very nice....Congrats! :thumbup: That's a spectacular deal! I'm sure you'll enjoy it for years to come. I bet it feels awesome to have that one knocked out... I'm pretty decided on the Futaba 14SG, which isn't coming out for at least another month. Although my spreadsheet is not that...

    What's on your bench?

    I've thought about that Mintor 22 for my Jug as well! LOVE the way it looks, and the numbers look right. I'd be curious to see how that would perform in the P-47...I bet it would scream :D :D

    What's on your bench?

    I plan on picking up the Futaba 14SG when its available, or shortly after. I have a DX6i now, which has been great, but after a long process, I decided to switch to Futaba for my upgraded tx (nothing against Spektrum, none of their equipment has ever failed me). This way I'll have my "nice"...

    What's on your bench?

    Ha ha...thanks! Hey...newborns are supposed to sleep 20 hrs a day right??? That's a lot of building! :D I'll make an update with what "really" happens when the little guy arrives! BTW...After my big holiday purchase (new tx), I plan on saving up for a 50cc set up...I'm digging the slicks and...

    Futaba 14SG

    +1. I was strongly leaning towards the 8FG before I found out about this one, but I'm pretty sure I'll be picking up the 14SG instead. It addresses just about every "con" I had about my upgrade to Futaba and the 8FG...although I'll have to deal with a decent jump in price. Since I don't...

    The Hardest Thing To Figure Out

    I agree with the Orange RX's being excellent. I have never had one fail and I've thrown them in a bunch of my models. I still can't bring myself to put one in a really expensive model. At that point, the cost/benefit is well worth it for my peace of mind, but in reality I still have no...

    Futaba 14SG

    This looks like the one I've been waiting for. Price is supposed to be around $599...it uses all the current protocols, has some improvements over the 8FG, and of course...telemetry. Seems like its "just right," and a solid winner. It just so happens I'm currently looking to upgrade, so...

    The Hardest Thing To Figure Out

    Another wrench just got thrown in to my decision...Futaba's new 14SG. Supposed to go for $599. If TH gets this one on Easy Pay, this one will probably be a no brainer for me...
