    Yippee! What the postman brought

    Thanks Paul but not necessary. I be hitting up my buddy who has one plus some 4cell packs he wants to get rid of. I did find a cool 2" CF spinner for it that will look great with the CF landing gear I put on it.

    Yippee! What the postman brought

    Thanks for the dealer info. I have some charging / balance boards from them. Good stuff. I don't have the prop I want for it yet but I did get a chance to run it on my wattmeter with a 65C 3S pack and APC 14x7 prop. WOT Burst produced 72 amps and 790 watts with hurricane force winds :on_the_go...

    Scale Don Smith P-51 Mustang

    It's been challenging for you but something tells me you like nothing better than a good challenge ;). Keep up the fantastic work buddy. Looking like it is going to have a HUGE pay off....pun intended :).

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    Got my "SunnySky" motor all mounted up to the "Not your mothers QQ300" :D. Just need to find me 12x6 prop and 54mm electric spinner. The 2.25" aluminum spinner shown is too big and heavy. A 4S 3000mah pack will do the power up of this HV hybrid. Will need to make some adjustments to the Aura 8...

    These new 3 line tanks have become very popular. I'm with you. I will never use a bung stopper type tank for gas again.

    Yippee! What the postman brought

    This is my first. I normally turn to the turnigy SK3 series motors for an after market purchase. I saw the Sunny Sky on ebay and watched youtube vids of it spooling up. Compared to some turnigy motors (NTM Aero Drive) its balance is superior. Was impressed so I bought one. The one I have is 3-5S...

    Yippee! What the postman brought

    Well the Singapore Post and USPS tried their best to dampen my "Sunny Sky" but it came out of its box and tested great :geek:. Should get a bit more ZIP from my QQ300 now :).

    Discussion Onboard On/Off Switches

    I can think of only one occasion when a switch failed causing me a crash....It was a Futaba Acrostar 60 and Supplied Futaba Switch that came with the 7UAP radio I purchased new. Gosh! :eek: That was almost 30 years ago. I have also used, and still do on some models, the single and dual toggles...

    Optical Kill Switch as On/Off?

    I have run the Smart-Fly, Tech Aero, Rcexel, and even my own I made. All with great success. I have found the simplest and easiest way keeping things light is running everything from the battery or batteries. Personally I like the Rcexel the best for economy and reliability. Any ignition noise...

    Don't know if you want to spend the funds but when I was flying Futaba's 14 channel Rx's I always matched up a Smart-Fly power expander with them. They have a "compact" micro that the Rx plugs into. Has dual battery inputs and is or can be turned on and off with a pin / flag failsafe switch.....

    Scale 35% Krill Extra 330SC....CUSTOM-ARF!!!

    Not all that expensive. Under 150.00 for some and about 225.00 for all four wheels on a 1/5th scale car or truck.
