    3D printer from Dremel

    Throttle servo?

    So, you don't need torque, or speed, but you have plenty of both :)

    Throttle servo?

    Speed isn't a big deal when you think about it, most any servo under .2 or so can yank a throttle arm around faster than an IC engine can react to throttle changes.

    3D to iBEc or not to iBEc that is my question

    I run 2500 A123 in my Corvus with an IBEC, but they charge so fast I do 3 flights and charge, though it consumes about 350mah per flight so I have a few more before I'd worry. Thats with all Savox digitals and a GP61

    3D to iBEc or not to iBEc that is my question

    Yea, I see this a lot, you're talking about this from 515-A Thats from 515-A which is the Safety Standards for Giant Scale RACING That only applies to racing competition, there's no requirements in the AMA safety code for a kill switch which applies to the rest of us. Even 520-A that says...

    What AMA regulation are you referring to?

    3D to iBEc or not to iBEc that is my question

    Interesting question. On legislating common sense, in Florida, seat belts are required, motor cycle helmets are not; go figure. I think they are a really good idea. They kill an engine despite any mechanical failures of the throttle servo, throttle pushrod, loss of signal, and loss of rx...

    3D to iBEc or not to iBEc that is my question

    @Rooman Its a good idea, but the AMA does not require a transmitter activated kill switch on a gas plane. It's a common misconception. The only place it's addressed is Giant Scale Racing rules, where it IS required.

    LiFe questions

    Listen to Terry. You need a charger for LiFe/A123 Also, get real A123 cells from Wrongway or Tail Dragger I run one 2500 A123 in a 60CC Corvus that feeds 6x Savox digitals plus the ignition, I burn about 350 mah per flight. You have some wiggle room under 50% but its best not to push your...

    Secraft Wire Tensioners

    They are THE only way to setup a P/P system, once you use a set you'll never go back to crimping brass sleeves
