    That balance is good for 3D, it's tail heavy. If you flip it inverted going along level it will do an outside loop. haha That's with pull/pull rudder and only one servo per elevator half. Imagine if I would have went push/pull rudder and two elevator servos per half! It would have been a wild...

    If the charge wasn't an anomaly then I definitely went well below 40% remaining. I've read they should not go down below 1volt per cell, and I've read not below 2v per cell. They did not even get down to 2v per cell. But, oddly took almost their whole mah capacity in a charge. Something still...

    I was thinking this one was pretty good giving me the whole 1900mah. :) haha

    Whatever is stock on the 14SG. The wild part to me is that the battery did not die. I turned it off when the alarm sounded. It could have kept going. Presumably for another 23mah. haha I guess you can't over discharge a LiFe?

    Yes, nope, brand new, and the one from the Sukhoi never ripped the same prop even after 35 flights. I think I have a good one. ;)

    I went out to the field around 3pm today to get some gas through the new engine. Seems already broken in, though, as it is ripping the Falcon 31-12 prop. I didn't plan on video just yet, and I was out there alone, but Butch showed up and got some video from the cell phone.

    I was using this LiFe pack in my radio while I was doing plane setup. At a certain point the radio told me the battery voltage was at the warning level. I pulled it out and charged it as you can see. Is that normal for LiFe packs to still be going until their full rated mah?

    Well, until I can get some video, I thought I would list off the parts on the plane: * Pilot RC 122" Extra 330 SC ARF * DA 170 on RE3 Pipes (DA pipe mounts) * Hitec 9380 Brushless servos (thanks to ZDZ Joe... not sure I'm suppose to mention where I got them :O ) These servos are crazy good in...

    Thanks! Me too! Now I can start seeing what it's all about. I couldn't really tell much from the maiden in that tornado. haha It did seem light and floaty, but I don't know how much of that was the wind. And, it did seem to have major control surface authority. But, I am also coming off of two...

    You'll work it out with the ones you already cut, I'm certain. But, yeah, I like when I need a 3" pushrod. :epic:

    Yeah... give me those 1984 bolts any day! :sneaky: I'm down with the G-10... I've used them before on composite planes from CompARF and Krill... they just need to be in the right place and have ball link holes drilled in the right place. :too-cool:
