    42" Vyper Bype

    I flew the byper. Impression is that it's SUPER responsive. Like, ULTRA SUPER responsive especially in roll and yaw. I did a snap and wound up doing a perfect 1 and 1/4 snap because the ailerons are so fast. Looked very cool but scared me to death. Ha ha. In harrier it was rocking a little...

    74" Edge 540

    How many rpm's steve? So us gas guys can compare. :-) Not that I would run a 20x10 prop on my DLE-30... but I have ran a 20x6 before and I think it turned around 7200? Maybe? Ok, I just multiplied 295KV * 4S * 4.2V and got 4956 rpm. So I guess that's why you need the higher pitch prop...

    3DHS New Products and General Plane Info/Help for Fanatics

    Will the sale be airframes only or will you have other goodies for sale like in past garage sales?

    My new 72" 3DHS Extra 330

    Well at least you solved half the problem. And with the added benefit of teaching us all the symptoms of a low ignition battery. :) Maybe you can find a used 7C for sale somewhere. That's what I used before getting the 8FG and its a great inexpensive radio. (No throttle curve function...

    Hmmm. Didn't realize I was posting something to the front page of the website. Is there another sub forum that I should have put this in?

    100cc Sbach repair

    Hi guys. I want to share some pictures of my Sbach. Here she is on maiden day. This picture is also from maiden day: :( The rudder servo failed and locked the rudder at full left deflection and it crashed. It sucks but I think this story will have a happy ending. Pilot RC...

    My new 72" 3DHS Extra 330

    I don't think its a radio problem any more, since it sounds like the throttle servo is working as it should. I must say though, that it is very strange to hear that the throttle pushrod is moving the throttle on the engine w/o changing engine rpm. This doesn't seem possible. If the throttle...

    I think he means check your throttle pushrod/linkage for problems.

    Also, spotting is not as easy as it sounds and some people are better at it than others. For example, I myself am a terrible spotter. Ha ha. Sad but true. :(

    My new 72" 3DHS Extra 330

    Yup, really. I have same plane, same engine, but I have the smaller fortitude tank (8oz?). I set my timer for 12 minutes and it's activated by the ignition switch so it counts the time it takes to choke/start the engine and taxi to the runway. So I'm probably flying for a solid 10 minutes. I...

    3DHS --FLY LOW-- Always OFF TOPIC

    I've had this super vyper hanging in my garage for about a year now. The other day my wife looked at it and said, "When did you get this one? I've never seen it before."

    3DHS --FLY LOW-- Always OFF TOPIC

    Pretty sure that as long as my wife isn't home when the UPS guy shows up I could get a new plane every week w/o her suspecting anything. Just like I won't notice her huge pile of shoes getting bigger unless I see a receipt or something.

    My new 72" 3DHS Extra 330

    Nice. You should be able to fly for 20 minutes with that size fuel tank. ;)

    Good luck man. If you get the arch reactor working I'll design the rest of the suit k? Hopefully the second law of thermal dynamics doesn't create too big of a stumbling block. ;-) Ha ha. Just noticed I said "arch" reactor instead of "arc" reactor. You know what? That's kinda funny. I'm...

    Inverted harrier, how do you conquer it?

    A durable, cheap balsa airplane flown about 1 foot off the ground is also a valuable tool when learning to inverted harrier. What I did was to fly an upright harrier just high enough to not drag anything on the ground and then roll it inverted. Starting with the upright harrier lets you see...

    This is the approach I took and it worked very well.

    Re: The 3DRCForums -OFF TOPIC- Thread So, what is it about the iphone that is so user friendly? Does it take fewer inputs to accomplish a given task? Or does it have more to do with layout and location of features/settings? I'm genuinely curious why everyone says it's so user friendly...
