    3DHS 70" Velox

    I have all of the pieces that were found with the plane. I had considered getting a fuse kit, but it doesn't look like 3dhs has them offered on the website. If they did, they would probably be out of stock just like everything else. I will try and contact them and see what they say

    3DHS 70" Velox

    Need your opinion guys. Is this poor velox worth resurrecting. Wings and wing tube were not damaged. I'm looking at what all comes in the motorbox kit, it looks like I would still need to add a little bit to it. I've never attempted a repair this severe.

    Show us your bling.

    13880=7832-images.jpg My pinky ring, which gives me incredible street cred. Oh, we were talking about plane bling, how inappropriate of me.

    HI There from Tennessee

    You sound like one of those people who has a room full of airplanes that needs to be flown. Not that I would know first hand or anything. In case anybody was wondering why I'm giving gascan a hard time, I am gascan junior.

    RC Airplane Memes

    13736=7583-45358743.jpg This is how I feel every time I get a response from 3DHS about spare parts that have been out of stock for hell and ever.

    Howdy from Knoxville, TN

    Hello everybody, my name is Kris and I'm from Knoxville, TN. I'm a member on FG, 3DRCF, and Rcgroups. I fly mostly 3D, but have started caring less about flying style and just getting out there. Aside from model airplanes, I have a big interest in full scale planes/aerobatics. I've been...

    New fuel pump

    I just bit and bought one, one question though. Will this pump also empty the tank, or is it fill only?

    What really gives a plane that "locked in" feel??

    Is it mainly in the size of the plane? Or is it in the servos? CG? etc. I notice that my 3DHS 72" extra just kind of wonders around the air. It's kind of a struggle just to keep it tracking straight. I do fly with my planes just a tad nose heavy for right now because I am getting back to...

    71" AJ Slick Building, Flying, and Questions

    One thing to note about their fuel tanks. First off they are great quality. I bought one, then after I got it I wanted to go to a 3 line setup. I would have gladly bought another fitting, however I was not about to pay $6.00 in shipping for a single fitting. They could have easily sold me...

    89 slick Rebuild

    What an awesome rebuild. I went back and looked at your rebuild on the wild hare edge, and man what an inspiration. I bought a 3dhs 87" extra shp in similar condition. I'm going to try and get it to where I can fly it this summer, and then do a full rebuild over the winter.

    71" AJ Slick Building, Flying, and Questions

    Alright guys, I got an awesome deal on a 71" electric slick at a FLI. I do not have any electric setups in this size. I could buy a gas MB and put it on there, but I think I want to stay electric. Here is my question, and I know it is beating a dead horse with a stick. This is going to be a...

    72" Extra 330SC

    I love this plane, but I swear I am so sick and tired of 3dhs being out of stock on parts for it. I've been waiting for a red cowl to come in stock since before Thanksgiving last year. I don't think they will ever come back in stock. While I was looking around on their site, I saw that they...

    72" Extra 330SC

    What is the consensus on this plane? Does it fly any better as an electric or a gasser? What are most of you running yours on? I have a dle 30 on mine, but after a season full of gremlins last year I'm just about ready to swear off gas engiens. I may stick with it and just work on it over...

    What's on your bench?

    It seems as if most of the directions call for welders adhesive or ca. Does one work better than the other? I have all thicknesses of CA on hand, but I am still waiting for shipment of some welders glue. I see what you mean about the inside of the fuse, it's a little tight in there.

    What's on your bench?

    3dhs 48" EPP Extra 330sc is now on my bench. Pulling the guts from my 48" EF Yak 54 to put in it, this will hopefully help me get some stick time during the winter

    Kind of at a crossroads, need some advice/opinions/etc.

    Thanks for the replies everybody! I think I can just chalk it up to getting into a funk. We got the dle 30 that was on my 72 swapped out with a brand new one, I just need to buy another landing gear and prop. The one that was on there just had some gremlins, we believe it was the carb. The...

    Kind of at a crossroads, need some advice/opinions/etc.

    Thanks for the reply Gyro! I do fly at house mountain, and they are a great bunch of people. I honestly feel like I knock a lot of them out of flying time when I come up due to my planes having problems. They are always there to help, and I am very grateful for them. The gentleman I bought...

    Kind of at a crossroads, need some advice/opinions/etc.

    I started out flying about 2 years ago. Flew a little nitro trainer, and got it down pretty good. One of the regulars at the field let me fly his 42" slick, no buddy box. He took it off, let me fly it, then I handed it off to him to land. I was hooked at the time, flying every weekend, all...

    71" AJ Slick Building, Flying, and Questions

    I got a great deal on an electric slick. Just out of curiosity, could you put one of the newer motorbox kits in it that handle both gas/electric. I just wondered if you could do this, and then get the gas cowl/canopy and have a gas version of this plane. I have a complete setup for a 30cc...
