    IMAC Delro 2.5M Raven Build

    This really depends on several factors. Speed, how nose heavy you want the plane to be and ultimately to remove pitch coupling. I have positive in my dalton. For my Delro 3.1m Raven, it's set where Delro set it up, and can tell you that it is the truest flying Giant Scale planes I've flown...

    Scale MattyMatt's Exclusiv Modellbau 50% Challenger II

    Package came today from Scott at SWB MFG... It's a 5" straight arm two servo tray, with solid links. Two JR MPH83T's, boasting 1126 oz/in will drive the rudder.

    Scale MattyMatt's Exclusiv Modellbau 50% Challenger II

    Hey Terry... Yes, they are rounded now and will sit on the surface as the servos are as wide as the stab. There's really no room to make them flush. They are 1/16" ply. Probably could go to 1/64th, but I didn't have any and I'll need the tail weight.

    JR Loyalty Trade In Program for DSM2/DSMX Radios to new DMSS Systems

    It depends on what you want/need. Being that IMAC, F3S, are my focus and the programming in the XG11 had more to support it.... I fly the XG11. If your setups are good with the 12x and want to have insanely smooth gimbals... The XG14 would be a better choice. The XG11 case is basically the...

    F3S - Jet Precision Aerobatics

    I hear ya Earle! Time to buy a jet my friend. You'll look at your IMAC plane like you look at the horse and buggy vs a modern car! Lol

    JR Loyalty Trade In Program for DSM2/DSMX Radios to new DMSS Systems

    There is no way to transfer over. I can tell you though that the numbers and % are extremely close. So, you'll have to just manually copy the program from your 12x over. I did this from my 12x to my XG11 initially, and was almost dead on. Then I realized all the additional features theses have...

    F3S - Jet Precision Aerobatics

    Earle, F3s is in a 75 degree box, flown at 500-700 ft out. 400 ft? Only if you're within 5 miles of an airport. Lol

    Also, I don't understand the term "list price". My dad says this, and there is no such thing in the hobby industry. There is suggested retail, and there is MAP (Manufacturers Advertised Price) These prices are off of MAP. MAP is what JR Americas charges via the online store.

    I'm not understanding your math... Here's the chart of what you would pay. Also, there are three different receiver options with the XG11 that effect pricing. Here's the chart below. -The first option is with the RG1131B, which is the regular 11 channel receiver - it would be $599 -The second...

    IMAC Delro 2.5M Raven Build

    Looks great. I'm not sure if you've worked much with the composites, but make sure you really skuff up the surface of the parts you're going to Hysol together. Also, you may want to wash the fuse in a shower/bathtub before you try to glue much in it. I'm sure the PVA is still on the fuse and...

    On XBus, you can run 4 servos per main ID, so assuming that all 28 channels are avaliable in the same way... that would be 112 servos. Lol, that's a lot of servos. I will say that the XG11 and XG14 are extremely capable TX's as well. Intact, i'm running the XG11, and the programming is WAY...

    Yes, all the horns are included and are G10.

    Throttle servo?

    Without the spring attached, there should be no load... and the nylon will not wear like a metal geared servo.

    Throttle servo?

    I've been running the JR8911's since they were released and really like them. I had them in my 3.1m Sukhoi and Dalton Extra 300ML. DA15o in the suk, and da200 in the dalton... 500 or so flights on the Dalton and 350 or so on the suk. For throttle, I'm using the JR821HV with no issues and...

    IMAC Delro 2.5M Raven Build

    I'd go for the 100l. For a few reasons. 1. More power 2. Nose weight, you'll probably need the nose weight. I think the 100L is about 5 lbs, the 70 is only 3.5 lbs. 3. More airplanes available in the 35% class than the 70

    IMAC Delro 2.5M Raven Build

    There are a lot of things they do that doesn't work well in RC and there are a lot of things we do that don't scale up well. It's physics. You probably aren't aware, but many prototypes have been made with the pocket hinges, and we're not put into production because they didn't work well. It...

    10x... Those are really old. Late 1990's? Lol. 2.4 based systems only.
