    3dhs 89 slick

    Joe recommends the Hitec 5665mh for throttle on 100cc's so that's what I went with. I'm saving money for Futaba BLS175HV's in the spring...quite a bit more money, but brushless and programmable.

    3d hobby shop planes epp question

    The 3DHS EPP edge is more of a performance plane and probably not "great" for beginners. The EPP Yak is bigger and is a little less violent. I'd go with that. I've also heard GREAT stuff about the TH planes...I heard the pitts is absolutely AMAZING.

    I Need To Vent

    About Castle...I believe almost all of their products are assembled in the US...but they get some components from outside of the country. I remember hearing that in an interview. I should have ask Steve Rogers as we had him on ATTF this week...I think I'll shoot him an email...

    I Need To Vent

    So let's just cut to the chase and this is REALLY all about Hobby King, correct? Even if I didn't despise Anthony Hand...there really aren't too many things that make sense to order from them. Lipos from the American warehouse are about it...but even then HobbyPartz is always within a few...

    I Need To Vent

    This is a great point. Frank, my problem with your statement/point is that you're over-generalizing and you're playing the "America" card when it doesn't apply completely as you infer. I know you mean well and I understand you want to help local economies, but I feel your argument and...

    The Hardest Thing To Figure Out

    Frank, to be totally honest with you...you're not going to go wrong with any of the three. Here are my thoughts across the board: A9 - AWESOME radio and I love mine. Rock solid and generally not too pricey. Feels great, Easiest programming. Slightly high latency that will only hinder you if...

    104" AJ Slick Building, Flying, and Questions

    Remember, there's no specific reason to use redundant batteries in one size vs another. It's all about how much chance you want to take on a single battery. How often does a battery fail? The REAL concern is getting enough power to your servos. As long as you have appropriate connectors on...

    The Hardest Thing To Figure Out

    The A9's latency isn't really an ISSUE persay...it's just higher then other radios in it's class. Are you flying 3D and high precision and trying to improve your skills...or are you just a sport flyer? I have an A9 for my sport stuff that hasn't had a single problem in 3 seasons of flying. I...

    103" Extra 330SC Building, Flying, and Questions

    I like my old school DX7 but had a few issues with signal loss and stuff like that, so I switched to the Aurora 9. I haven't ever had one glitch on that radio in 3 seasons. However, the latency is high so I wanted something faster. I'll never use a spektrum radio in something I really care...

    3DHS New Products and General Plane Info/Help for Fanatics

    A lot of people were looking forward to her King 50 routine, but she never showed. From what I saw, she stopped flying 3DHS and got an Extreme Flight plane...was all about EF for about a week and then she disappeared. Deleted her facebook account and really hasn't been around much since...

    103" Extra 330SC Building, Flying, and Questions

    It's all good! That's why I started this thread so I welcome all input. This is my first time using ganged servos and my 2nd time using the programmer. It's also my first time with an 8FG so now I have to compensate for the difference in centers. Example: If you set the center with the hitec...

    103" Extra 330SC Building, Flying, and Questions

    Yes, using the Hitec programmer. What stinks is how it programs center for 1500us and the Futaba 8FG centers at 1520.
