    The 3DRCForums -Discuss Anything Thread-

    Definitely high. there is a place west of Hot Springs, AR that has pallets of them, you just go pick out the ones you want and they are about $4/each. Of course these have sat in the rain, and not all look in perfect shape, but most are in good condition. I bought a bunch of them for geocaching...

    Which Radio System Is Best?

    Hoosier, so far my DMSS has been great. Only been using it about 6 weeks or so, and with the weather lately I haven't flown as much as I would have liked. But I've got about 10 models converted over to it, and have about 100 flights on DMSS with my XG11 and all have been excellent. I love the rx...

    RG611B 6ch DMSS Park Flyer Rx

    Good to know, I've got a few 611's that I was debating whether or not to put into a pylon plane, and I stuck another in a glider recently too. JR really needs something full range with a small footprint like those. No satellite telemetry unit... just a main rx.

    Generators?

    I have the Yamaha 2000 watt one similar to the Honda. Love that thing. Quiet and easy to start. Picked mine up used on ebay for about 500 bucks. Had it for about 4 years now.

    JR 14 XG changing model

    That makes perfect sense then, the rx is bound to the model slot of your tx. So when changing models, you are changing model slots as well. And thus causing the rebind. Have you considered using flight modes? Configure it with flight modes, and then within each flight mode you will still have...

    3DHS 42" slick

    Keep in mind the 72g was the original recommendation for the older v1 42" Slick, which had transparent covering on the bottom of the wing, a weaker landing gear block area, and thinner carbon fiber landing gear. Overall it made a different of around 2 oz in the weight. And by today's standards...

    JR 14 XG changing model

    I may have misunderstood based on what Eric wrote, Tazmanian Devil, are you moving the rx from plane to plane to fly each time? Or do you have two different rx's, one in each plane?

    JR 14 XG changing model

    You shouldn't have to do that. As long each of your models is in it's own slot, and you aren't changing or copying to/from an SD card, or copying from one slot to another you shouldn't have to do that. As I understand it, the binding is to a model slot, so as long as the slots don't change, then...

    Extreme Flight Owners Thread

    I own a DLE-35 and two DA-35's. The DA-35 will put out a bit more power than the DLE, it's also a lot more responsive. DA worked long and hard on a new ignition system for the 35, and it shows. It's a snappy responsive engine that starts very reliably. Those are good things for gas planes! I...

    Black Friday Sales?

    I've never seen a black friday (or any other holiday) sale from them. They have stated several times that they are already selling them as cheap as they can and still make a profit. Best bet for a deal is to try and catch them at an event as mentioned earlier. Of course if you don't live in the...

    Extreme Flight Owners Thread

    SR175 - what are you looking for in a 7x" plane? What's your primary flying style? All out 3d pilot, lots of down on the deck rollers, hovers, harriers, etc? XA type flying? Smoother precision with some 3d mixed in? Something else? The choices from 3dhs and EF in this size all lend themselves...

    Extreme Flight Owners Thread

    Sounds to me like one possibility is that a freight order costs about 120 bucks. And doesn't cost significantly more if the order is larger. So he wound up paying the same price for one plane as for two. Here again I really fail to see the problem... the shipping from 3dhs, EF, or many...

    Which Radio System Is Best?

    Story I heard on the spektrum/JR split is this. Back when 2.4 was starting out JR had good hardware, Spektrum didn't. So they partnered up on a 3 year deal. JR developed their own solution for use in Japan as their regulations required a full frequency hopping system, and DSM2 only picks 2...

    Which Radio System Is Best?

    Spats, I had similar things happen with a DX9, and also with a JR9503. Over the last year I had about five spektrum planes fall out of the sky. I have been flying Spektrum for about 5 years now with no problems until this last year. After the first three on my 9503 happened I switched to a DX9...

    Looking for 60"ish precision/3D electric airframe

    Look at the Extreme Flight 60" planes. Doesn't get much better than those. Extra 300 is a good precision with 3d capable plane. Laser is a bit better at 3d, and gives up a tiny bit in precision probably. The MXS slants a little more towards 3d, aggressive 3d especially. Still good at...
