    Resurrecting an Old Favorite - 3DHS 87" Extra SHP

    This was my first giant scale (actually my 2nd as I crashed my first one of these on its 2nd flight...duh). Bought her in '08 and flew it for four years. Got my feet wet in IMAC with it. Great flying plane....but sadly strained her thru some trees :mad:. Anyway....I hung on to all the...

    Scale 50% Dalotel 165

    Know anyone with experience with these props? Prices seem a bit steep, plus don't include shipping and 5% PayPal fee. Alos noted the minimum order quantities!

    Scale 50% Dalotel 165

    Thanks Roger....that'd be great. I didn't see the 3-blade prop on their site. It does imply more to come in Dec of this year.

    What props are they? Falcon, Mej...??? Or does one send their prop to him?

    Scale 50% Dalotel 165

    Really like that shiny one! Chrome baby.....always did like a polished aluminum prop. Chrome doesn't quite have the beautiful "soft" look of aluminum, but that one would still look great on anything!!! I'm guessing it's hydro-dipped. :cheers:

    Scale 50% Dalotel 165

    Exactly. That should provide power from both servos to the cable being pulled. Now...what to do about the cable being pushed....:lol2:

    Scale 50% Dalotel 165

    Roger, you can still mount them side by side, but with L shaped arms. The legs pointing forward would be linked together.

    Scale 50% Dalotel 165

    Mounting the servos side by side....one driving each cable seems like you lose the combined power of both servos if ganged together in the common fore & aft arrangement???

    Roger....I'm guessing that in this pic, the yellow one is the original (full scale). Looks like it had electric trim....????

    Couple more shots.....a good flyer although I wasn't :confused:. As I remember it was very neutral and tracked nicely. Little Rimfire outrunner and small 2s lipos.
