    Extreme Flight 125" Extra 300 V2 w/DLE-222 Build

    Ahhhhh. I finally understand how this works. I was thinking the same thing as @thrumma, that air passed from front to back when in fact air is passing from top to bottom. It has been confusing me for months now! BJ Swope

    EF 60 Laser

    I know it's an el-cheapo motor but @Yak Attack turned me on to it. He's running this in his 60" laser and I'm running it in my 60" Yak. http://www.nitroplanes.com/86mc451-4120-515kv.html At our field we've had a spate of bad luck with the Airboss ESCs so we're all moving away from them. He's...

    DLG's Anyone?

    @SleepyC was playing with one at Joe Nall, iirc. He enjoyed the hell out of it. I think it was the Hobbico one. BJ Swope

    Powerbox Servo Throw Problems

    On high rates, if you move them slowly throughout the range of motion, do you see the same behavior, i.e. different deflection at different points of the range? I expect you will see that. If you do then you can use your radio to program that out using the balance feature, at least I think...

    What size spinner?

    That's the exact setup I was using and what prompted my 2.5" assertion above. You're going to love that combo! If you ever want to sell it, please let me know. I loved mine until it got to comfortable with it... BJ Swope
