So if it is not in stock by then or I will just get another 57 extra as i loved mine. But all that is dependant on me...

    It was a sickening feeling watching 1K just fall from the sky from about 100 feet up. I had to look away before it hit the ground LOL. Thankful it landed in the runway and not in the woods. if it landed in the woods I would probably never have found it. So it could have been worse.

    Well, I lost my 3dhs 57'' extra yesterday. I did a poptop at around 90mph or more and the plane held up fine. However the battery ejected from the plane. I had it strapped down with two straps, and velcro on the bottom. 200 flights never had anything like this happen with it before. Now I really...

    That is good to know. I have had my A9 for 4 seasons now and a ton of flight time on it. So next year i will need to look into getting the new A9X LOL. I love how smooth the hitec gimbles are. And I have used my buddys futaba 8fg and the 14sg and the gimbles on both were exactly the same. They...

    My buddy has one of those. Looks nice and shiny, but it does not have all the features the hitec A9 has. Plus you will not be getting the great CS that Hitec will give you. My buddy just sent back in his Futaba 8FG super to get the throttle stick fixed. they charged him $100. I have sent my...

    I had two brownouts-lockouts when I was using spectrum a few years back. I had the DSM2 DX7. Stopped using that crap ans switched to hitec. Never looked back LOL. Spectrum is the only brand besides the off brand systems I would never trust in a plane. I heard the new DSMX is better though.

    3DHS 46'' AJ yak 55

    Can f find that motor, but a 9x6 prop is way too small. If I were you I would just get the Omega 130 or Motrolfly 2815-950KV motor. And a 13x6.5 prop.

    Same here. i was testing a FT F22 for an older guy who flies at our field. I kept feeding rudder into it only to find it did nothing LOL. There are a lot of pilots I know who also never tough there throttle. They act like it is an on and off switch LOL.

    Another thing I did was take my plane up as high as i could and do circles. that way if i hit LVC I could at least dead stick it in.

    No, he never said anything LOL. He is a great guy, but he is just getting too old I guess LOL. If it was another ten seconds I would have been in real trouble. I was right on the edge of LVC.

    It was close, another ten seconds and I would have been looking at a bad situation. I usually get along great with the guy, but he does some things like that occasionally. I guess he is just getting too old LOL.

    put about four flights on my extra today before the rain hit. Still flies great LOL. Like usual it goes where i point it to and tracks straight as an arrow. Though an older pilot in his 80's decided halfway through my flight to take up his cheap epp plane. Almost ran into me three times, then...
