    I just can't seem to catch a break . Glad this is the last official day of summer. Hopefully Autumn will bring plenty of great flying weather. SUCKS.....

    F-4D Phantom II (Freewing EDF jet)

    For a foam plane it sure does look "mean" and ready to sortie. I may just get the basic kit with out fan and speed control and put a 10s 90mm JP fan unit in it like this guy did.....Awesome performance. He put the electric brakes on it too.

    Alien Extra is all charged up! My buddy coming to get me with his trailer tomorrow so hopefully will finally get the DJ72 in the air and see what it will do :).

    Here's the longest and shortest vids of the Avanti. You can see at the end of the longer vid a shadow of his hand with a cig in it lol. Guess it was burning a bit short and he had to put it down lol. I agree though that the bigger 90mm fans like in the F-4 I want are only getting 3 to 3 and a...

    From the time I flip the throttle up switch (timer is also on this switch), taxi out, take off run, in the air, land, taxi back and then flip the switch to shut off the fan and timer is how I record a flight. I have not recharged or touched the batteries since I last flew them. Here is the level...

    I got 5 min 11seconds first flight and 5 min 32 seconds second flight with lots of full throttle with the Avanti. 6S 5000 50C packs. I think the new metal 12 blade 80mm fan and 1850kv motor have a lot to do with it . Had 56% remaining on first pack 52% second pack.

    Yea the 6S or 8S version only gets you 5-6 minute flights but boy what a thrilling time it is :on_the_go:. Best part is that all the wiring and lights are pre installed and the electric retracts work flawless and look real. I am so glad I got the Avanti S to learn with. And the Aura 8 or any...

    I'd say that's a "Best Buy" . The "alternative" for a "swing wing" Free Wing F-14 would require a second mortgage o_O. Now that I got the "hang" of these speed demons I'm really looking forward to the phantom. I was actually on the flight deck when the RIO of plane 202 snapped this picture...

    Yippee! What the postman brought

    Can you tell us a bit about the "hardware" in the radio too like gimbals? They all aluminum? Have hall sensors? How many brgs? And how about signal strength? Wonder if that other "power lead" powers the amplifier and radio electronics whilst the other powers the cpu?

    Yippee! What the postman brought

    Had a "gut" feeling it would be that radio but was not certain. Didn't you have a MZ24 once and return it??? and go back to your HiTech X9??? Careful! The radio wizards are watching so HiTech has a release just around the corner to "blow away" the competition I bet LOL

    Right on Bro..:yesss:.. And I am now thinking how I can fit 84" of foam chunks on the WALL. Thing is 78 inches and 90mm got to come first. Going to need another WALL. You know exactly what I mean :sneaky: hehe.

    Your Mig and my "soon to be" Phantom II ( got to get the Pilot Extra done first) would be a blast to go up together :yesss:. Have that "dog fight" smoke system installed that activates by your opponent if it gets a "lock" on your plane! Hmn....I wonder who makes that and if it is a reasonable...

    I still dabble with the biggins though. Helped solve a carb issue on a DA120. We ran it and I have to say the DA120 is AWESOME engine

    Ya see fellas.......it's like this.......I simply add the wingspans of all three and therefore I have the equivalent of a 42center :banana-dance:. Besides......My "alternate" plane hauler does quite a good job getting that massive wingspan to the field :rolleyes:.

    FINALLY got to the field today and broke my "cabin fever" :woohoo!:. Took my "Chunk 'O' Foams" squad to my club field and had 40 minutes of wheels up! Of course my first flight was with the Avanti S. Had to have something that would blow all the dust and rust off :big-grin:. Two packs each for...
