    PowerHD Storm 4 HV BRUSHLESS servo from Redwing!!!

    Hey y'all! I know it's been a long time, but this was a busy fire season out here on the west coast. Anyway, I wanted to give an update on the servo. I've been able to get quite a few flights on it now and there really isn't much to say except it's been great. No problems and operation is still...

    RedwingRC 50cc 330sc Build Log!

    Nice. My Futaba 7c and 617 receiver is a bit of a hindrance for me. The power box is a cheaper way around my channel restrictions and HV issues, but comes at the cost of weight and space. I'd like to upgrade my radio, but damn, good Futaba gear is expensive. I've actually considered...

    RedwingRC 50cc 330sc Build Log!

    Question for Tim...I was originally thinking of trying an EME 70 twin in the Extra 330 because it should easily fit in the cowl and reduce vibration (as well as have some good "get up and go"). Now that you guys are now selling the PTE 72 I'm considering that as an option. The EME has angled...

    RedwingRC 50cc 330sc Build Log!

    Hey Mike, what did you do as far as the radio equipment install? It doesn't look like there is a tray for a receiver or a power box. I want both the Redwing Slick and Extra. I've noticed the slick doesn't have much space in the fuse area. I currently have Futaba 7c radio and I'm using a Redwing...

    PowerHD Storm 4 HV BRUSHLESS servo from Redwing!!!

    Sorry I forgot to let you know about the start up when I got home. It does not have a soft start. It snaps to center when powered up.

    PowerHD Storm 4 HV BRUSHLESS servo from Redwing!!!

    You know what, that's a good question. I don't know. When I did my tests I had the servo powered before I put the arm on then never really moved it off center. Then I had it centered when I mounted it in the plane and since its on the rudder (which is usually centered when I power up the...

    PowerHD Storm 4 HV BRUSHLESS servo from Redwing!!!

    They are hooked to the same receiver in all tests except for the last one where the Storm is on 7.4v and the XQ is on 6.6v. But in that test they are on identical receivers. Both were the Futaba 617. And I did do the test again without expo in the radio. No changes in function to note, so I...

    PowerHD Storm 4 HV BRUSHLESS servo from Redwing!!!

    There is expo programmed into channel 1 on my radio as it's my Aileron channel, but they were on the same channel so they should be moving together. It kind of does look like expo except it's it's only in the first 1/3 or so of the movement (well the biggest deviation at least), then catches...

    PowerHD Storm 4 HV BRUSHLESS servo from Redwing!!!

    Yes. They were on the same channel. There was absolutely no way the comparison was not an exact "apple's to apple's" test. The Redwing power box has two outputs for each channel, so I plugged them both into my Aileron channel (channel number 1). However, In the last speed test I wanted to...

    PowerHD Storm 4 HV BRUSHLESS servo from Redwing!!!

    I'm nervous about breaking one of them. I bet Tim at Redwing will end up doing a torque test. He's done some before. I did do another speed test with the Storm running on 7.4v and the XQ on 6.6v. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wd597DEUTIY Jeremy

    PowerHD Storm 4 HV BRUSHLESS servo from Redwing!!!

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEwZkggtstE Hey guys, I got my hands on an amazing new servo. I'm going to be putting it on the rudder of my 50cc Extra 300. I'm using the Redwing Pro Series red powerbox which is perfect for running high voltage servos because it keeps the voltage to the RX...

    30% Pilot Carbon EDGE Build & Discussion

    Great man. Thanks! The only thing that keeps the Pilot Edge from being an easy #1 choice in my lineup is that is has a shorter wing (and less area) than some other available. Krill 330sc is 90.6", 3DHS Edge is 92", Aeroplus Edge is 92". With the EME 70 and even my RCGF 60 having so much power...

    30% Pilot Carbon EDGE Build & Discussion

    Also, Chief's site says that this plane comes with a carbon spinner. Is it the blue one you are using? That's pretty slick if they include a matching spinner at no extra cost!

    30% Pilot Carbon EDGE Build & Discussion

    This is definitely one pimped out Edge! Is there any video footage from the 3D Bash? I've got a question about the cowl dimensions (width and distance from firewall to front of cowl). I can't find dimensions anywhere for it. I'm really wanting to use an EME 70 twin on my next plane. I've got an...
