    VVRC 40 Twin Props

    Extreme Flight 78 Extra, about 6850 as I remember. The prop definitely slows the plane down. But it's mostly my precision practice plane and not as capable of 3D as my 60 Laser or my 104 Extra.

    VVRC 40 Twin Props

    I am not sure what prop you are using, but I switched to a 21x8 mej this spring and told the noise police that I made a bunch of changes. It as quiet as any of the other gassers. Or at least it appears to be. It definitely keeps the prop from ripping and keeps it slow, probably perfect for the...

    VVRC 40 Twin Props

    There are a couple of guys who have put the VVRC 40 in a 3DHS bigfoot. I thought about doing it myself a few months back. I think the smaller plug version fits without cutting the cowl to clear the plugs, but I am not sure about that. I have the larger plugs in a 78" EF Extra and the holes to...

    Trailer Ideas

    I looked at a 7x14, but most of them were double axle and quite a bit heavier. I currently tow with a Jeep Rubicon and it is more limited on towing than most pickups.

    Thread Title Missing?

    Ok, after looking at my screen it appears it does show the thread title in the tab. That will work.

    Thread Title Missing?

    FYI, the full web address does not show up in Safari ver 8.0 (latest mac software). It just shows "giantscalenews.com" unless you actually click on the address bar.

    IMAC Dalton Extra 300SP KG's new Contest plane.

    Very nice looking ride. Good luck with it next year. I would love to have a plane made by Tony. How do get that done? I would guess it would start with learning how to fly well.

    Telemetry Usefullness

    On my EF 104 I have temperature of the my left cylinder with an alarm and voltage of my RX batteries. I have considered the GPS module to get airspeed and altitude etc. but have not considered it essential. I did create space for it though on my RX tray in my plane. The temp sensor does let me...

    I started picking up parts like LED lights and other goodies for mine. I plan on using it next summer to make a few trips like the huckfest.

    Full Scale and RC plane awesomeness!

    Very cool! I never would have guessed that the RC could have that kind of pace up against the full scale.

    Which Radio System Is Best?

    My first radio was a gold colored Futaba that I bought used. I quickly bought another more modern that was black and I could use with a buddy cord. They both served me well and eventually started using the setup to teach others how to fly. This was in the mid 80's. When I moved up to sport...

    Thread Title Missing?

    Yep, but sometimes when you are bouncing around you forget you are actually in a DA thread instead of an Extreme Flight one. I do try and double check that my posts are relevant, even if my brain wants wander a bit.:)

    Trailer Ideas

    Rob, my trailer is a 6x12 by Interstate/ Trailers Plus. It is the second trailer I have owned by them. It's made here in Idaho. You are welcome to take a closer look at how planes fit when we are at the field. I will be posting build details as I get to work on it this winter.

    Real Flight anyone?????

    I am a mac guy, and have been one since the begining (1984). I have been running RF 7 on my Macbook Pro 15" (2.7 ghz Intel Core i7, early 2013) since it came out. I have avoided the 7.5 "upgrade" due my resistance to send these people any more of my money. You first have to get a version of...

    3D photofest, post your good shots

    Yep, I knew it was from the last software update. On the plus side, the photo viewer is awesome. I really like the photo ribbon on the bottom that lets you select which of the photos in the post you want to see. I encourage those who have posted here to go back to your old posts and fix the...

    VVRC 40 Twin Props

    A two to one header would be nice, but only if it does not rob any power from this engine. I look forward to seeing how well it works.
