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

    I''l do that, I posted in here as I thought they looked in here from time to time, I must admit I was surprised as I've had no issues with any of my other 3dhs models.

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

    A bit of feedback for 3DHS if they're reading this forum, its a bad idea to send out an Osiris with the shorter motor mounting bolts loose inside the fuselage, mine arrived in the UK everything was perfectly packaged, all of the parts were in plastic bags and taped up so I'm assuming that they...

    3DHS 62" Osiris

    Thanks for the pointer mazjag, I've just had a read of that thread, nasty I usually go for velcro on the battery tray and a thinner strip of velcro along the battery length, together with 2 velcro straps, I'm pretty paranoid about that sort of thing.

    3DHS 62" Osiris

    I'm going to use a A50-16s and will be running it on 5000 mAh 6 cell batteries, I was going to have a go at pattern flying, at my level though I may not notice the difference with the brake on down lines, I just thought it would be handy to programme it in when I'm setting up, I know when I've...

    3DHS 62" Osiris

    Its arrived and I've just stated the build :) Does anyone know the best settings for an IceLite 100, with the slick I had to alter the LVC and other settings, also I've read that something needs to be done with the brake settings.

    3DHS 62" Osiris

    Thanks for the warning, but I've been lucky with mine, I use the 4s2700 on my 51 slick , 3s2200 on my 42 slick and no puffing and no cells dropped, nanotechs are not so good, they last ok, but they puff up after a few flights so I've stopped using them, I only charge at 1.5 amps so maybe that...

    3DHS 62" Osiris

    I thought I'd get one of these as I'd like to work on my precision skills, after reading the 200+ pages over at the other place I decided to go for the following set up; Hacker A50-16S V2 Ice Lite 100 Amp Hitec HS-5245MG Digital Mini Servos (Ailerons and elevator) Hitec HS-7985MG Digital...

    The Official Precision Aerobatics Katana MX Thread

    I was looking at this as I wanted something to do pattern stuff and also 3d, from the write up it sounds great, I mostly fly my 3dhs 51 slick, has anyone flown both, I'd be interested to know how they compare. Also I have a Torque 4016T/500 MKII motor and Airboss 80A esc I could use, would they...

    Converting RF6 recordings for youtube

    If anyone else needs to do this try Fraps, someone pointed me to it and I ended up purchasing it, it works just fine.

    The Blender

    Excellent tutorial thanks for putting it together, I've been practising on my sim, now all I need is some decent weather to have a go with my Slick; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OdEgSU6cKHo

    Converting RF6 recordings for youtube

    I've seen a few realflight 6 videos on YouTube, does anyone know of a good way to convert the .recording files as I'd like to upload a couple :confused:

    3DHS 58" Edge 540

    With regard to the waterfalls maybe its my set up, I started off with a Hacker A40-14S, 6 cell lipo, 15x7 prop and JP 85A esc, halfway through the second flight it died, I'd been taking things easy as well, I managed to get it down in one piece, I had a burnt out esc and the motor was really...

    3DHS 58" Edge 540

    Well it was nice while it lasted, I made a stupid mistake and put it in :cursing: The front end of the fuselage is smashed and one of the wings is bent, I'm sure it can be fixed with a replacement motor box and a bit of time, I've emailed Rob at ADC to see if he can get hold of one for me, I...

    3DHobbyShop 51" AJ Slick

    I had a few flights with the new set up on Friday and some more today, no more esc cut outs :) Thanks for the advice on the best settings.

    3DHobbyShop 51" AJ Slick

    Thanks for all of the advice, its all programmed and ready to go, now all I need is some good weather :) I'd not used the Castle Link Adapter before and didn't realise how much info the esc had logged. looking at the graphs there was a low voltage cutoff, it had dropped to 12.8V (42.6A) so I'm...

    I've had them about 3 months, I've not used them on anything else, I'd say 10 flights per battery at most, they're ZIPPY Compact 2700mAh 4S 25C Constant / 35C Burst

    No worries, I should have made it clearer in my first post :)

    3DHobbyShop 51" AJ Slick

    Everything still works, its just the power to the motor that I lose. I'll have a try with those settings ryan_m, it may be that I'm hitting one of those limits.

    3DHobbyShop 51" AJ Slick

    I've been having a lot of fun with mine, however everyonce in a while I lose all power so I have to back off the throttle for a while and then the power comes back. I'm thinking that I need to alter the esc settings, its an ICE-75Lite set up at the moment as it arrived to me, so factory...
