    Why Only Big Planes?

    I've been on this forum for just over a year and a half, and into 3D flying for about two years now. From almost ritualistic forum surfing, it has struck me that the amount of new 40-60 inch balsa 3D planes to come out in that time from the big names is, well, 0. Or pretty close to that. I see...

    Hobbyking Slick 360 3D

    Does anybody have experience or know anything about this plane? http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__20134__Hobbyking_Slick_360_3D_Blue_1300mm_ARF_.html It looks to be pretty well built, fantastic price, flight videos look great. I tried to get info on RCGroups, but of course it...

    Rewinding a Brushless Motor

    I recently bought a motor from some really cheap Chinese web shop, hoping that it would have enough power for the job. Unfortunately, it doesn't. I looked at some similar motors from more reputable manufacturers (Omega 103g and Hacker A30-28S V3) and it's about 100W down in power from them. Can...

    What Airframe For My Electronics?

    My Telink 47" Extra 330SC is getting a bit worn out, so I think it might be time to upgrade, but the question is: to what? There doesn't look to be that many planes out there in the 40-48 inch size range, and even fewer which will use my electronics. I have: 1x 3536 910Kv motor w/ 12x6 prop...

    What Airfoil?

    I know it's not 3D related, but this site is full of people who design R/C planes for a living, so it's worth asking. I'm planning to scratch build a 70"-ish size model of a Just Aircraft SuperSTOL, sort of taking after the 3DHS BigFoot. I have 3-views that I'll use to make plans, but what...

    Hobbyking 1400mm SBach 300

    Just saw this over on RCG. Looks really nice, but the fact that it's from HobbyKing may reveal otherwise... http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__45296__Sbach_300_EP_3D_Balsa_1400mm_ARF_.html

    Best 3s 2200mAh?

    I want to get some more 3s 2200mAh batteries, because that's what my entire fleet runs on. I've been using the HobbyKing Zippy 3s 2200mAh 20C packs because they're dirt cheap (I like cheap :p), but I haven't really been impressed with them. After a few flights, maybe 5 at most, some of them have...

    Who makes small balsa 3D planes?

    I fly 40-48 inch 3D planes. I'd love to get a bigger plane someday, but the 48" size works well for me, in terms of cost, practicality and comfort level. The trouble is, there isn't that many people who make balsa 3D planes in this size, especially Extras, which I love. I already have the 3DHS...

    60" Extra 330SC

    Does anyone have experience with this plane? I'm in the market for a reasonably priced (for me that's <$200) ~60" 3D plane and this looks to fit the bill perfectly.

    Hobbyking Donkey ST4010-820

    I have a Hobbyking Donkey ST4010-820 motor lying around from a plane I built (and subsequently destroyed) earlier this year. Now I'm interested in buying an Extreme Flight 48" Edge 540T EXP and I want to know if this motor will work in this plane. The statistics seem close enough to the Torque...
