    Assembly: EF 110" Yak-54 V2

    Another amazing flying session with no guys and no flies. Haha No wind at all, either. Some mosquitos when I was packing up, but I wear an $8 bee keeper's hat and that pretty much takes care of that.

    Haha... my garage is cramped... you may find me taking you up on that offer... especially for the H9 Sukhoi, which never gets flown. haha

    Oh, I wanted to say about that, all the flights, from the first to the last, on the plane when it had the ZDZ-180 on it were perfect. No performance loss or anything. The plane and engine and prop and spinner and every part you can mention were cosmetically and functionally (as far as I could...

    Yes, that's so true. And, is another reason I'm holding off. VERY often a new motor has problems "out the gate." And, over time gets them resolved. This has happened to the best (3W, in my opinion) and MANY times, as well, to DA even. So, yes, I've talked to Randy and Tavis and things are going...

    Assembly: EF 110" Yak-54 V2

    I couldn't agree more. I was going to just buy another one to see if it happened again because the motor was honestly like no other I've ever experienced... as I said, reminded me of the quality and linearity of my old team 3W 150QS motors, but with just startling power. But, I've been slow to...

    Assembly: EF 110" Yak-54 V2

    I know, again I only have my experience of one. I never had a performance issue. What happened was I noticed I had drag on my prop when I would rotate it. So, I sent it in. ZDZ USA said the crank was out 29 thousands. That is clearly a problem. Whether it was pressed and not trued, or whatever...

    The ZDZ-180 was the most impressive motor I ever ran... for about 40 flights. It either came with, or developed a problem. @Tavis 's and @Spats have not had the same problem and both have over 100 flights on theirs. Eventually I might try another one to see if I just got a bad one. The ZDZ-180...

    I know, right? I wouldn't have believed it when I got back last year. I was still thinking 3W CS was cream of the crop like the old days. And, they still are the highest quality to me. But, power to weight, the DLE beats all the other 170cc motors. And, at half the cost of the DA and 3W. A...

    Another perfect evening at the field with no flies and no guys. haha 80 flights on the DLE-170 and although it was quite strong out of the box, it is a real powerhouse now. Original eight 9380s I got have over 200 flights on them now and still performing like they're brand new. And, still my all...

    Tell me about the hype pipes, Mike! :) How are they for hovering?

    Assembly: EF 110" Yak-54 V2

    I contemplated a DLE-120, a DA-120, a GP-123, and a BE-124. In the end I went with a GP-123 from http://www.aviatorplusrc.com/rcaviation/ Joe Lewis has a really good reputation.

    3W 110 XI-CS

    Yeah, I'm thinking Gerhard was just testing a 170 and just wrote down the same prop size by mistake. He probably had a 28-12 on there, I would guess.

    Nice, better green balls then blue balls, when you think about it. ;) haha

    Fun 4th of July (Jeff had on the whole stars and stripes outfit, hat, shirt, shoes. haha). It was just the two of us (and our wives) all afternoon/evening on a perfect weather day. No bugs for some reason, maybe they take the 4th off? haha The girls bbq's the best sliders on pretzel bread and...

    I think I've mentioned, but I've been really impressed with the shipping charges when ordering off the DUBRO site directly. I got some antenna tubes that were only a couple of bucks, they came in a big long box and the shipping was like $1.50 or something. haha
