    Brand New PAU........Viper-ST Announced!!!!!!!!

    Terry, what's the height of the rudder on this plane? I've seen some 100cc planes with rudders smaller than some of the 50cc stuff out there now. Curious what the height is from the ground to the top of the rudder? I'm hoping it's too tall to fit in my vehicle, will help take some temptation...

    Help me get excited about the hobby again!

    my advice? Wait until your son is 4-5 and came come out with you to the field and then get him into it too... I'm in about the same boat. Been hot and heavy with it for about 13 years now. Then we had kids, I have a 6 year old girl, and a 3 year old son. And I find it very hard to find time to...

    3D EF 94" MXS

    Really nice looking! This plane makes me want to sell my current 50cc plane (that I'm perfectly happy with) and get it! Especially if it looked like that! I don't think I would spend that much on a graphics package personally, but it sure looks nice.

    Generators?

    Honda makes a 1000 watt unit that weighs 37 lb. The Yamaha 2000 watt unit is 44 lb according to their site, so the honda little one isn't much lighter. Nor is the harbor freight one that was posted, it's also 37lb. But... Yamaha makes a 1000 watt unit too, and it's only 27 lb. Might be just...

    Which Radio System Is Best?

    camss69, that's why you get the XG11MV, then you can swap the module in the back and have Spektrum for the BNF, and DMSS for all the rest!

    VVRC 40cc Twin

    Is VVRC still selling this motor? I didn't see it up on their site.

    JR DMSS Temp Sensor

    I think that depends on a variety of things... primarily exactly where you have your sensor. I've got another thread I started on here asking about temps and what was normal or too high. On the plane I have temp telemetry on I was/am seeing fairly high temps I used to think. Prior to getting...

    DA-70 Alternatives

    I agree that random rpm comparisons that weren't taken on pretty much the same day at the same location are very hard to get any meaningful comparison with! But something is better than nothing... If a DA-70 could turn that same prop to say 7500 rpm, then clearly it would make more power! I also...

    DA-70 Alternatives

    What kind of performance numbers does a DA-70 get, or better asked, what kind of RPM would one get on say a Falcon 24x9 carbon prop? I have an EME-70, have about 3 gallons through it now, and am happy with it. I've got it mounted on a 3dhs 91" Yak 55 that weighs in at 21lb. The motor will spin...

    Speak up and win!! We're turning ONE, time to celebrate!!

    Favorite: The helpful and friendly attitude display by everybody here. Unlike some other sites that seem bent on trying to tear everybody down, the community here is friendly and helpful. Least Favorite: I don't use the homepage at all. I use the "active threads" exclusively. Suggestion for...

    Extreme Flight/3DHS New Website

    Unless you want a black/yellow Extra 330 LT in the 75" or 61" size. Those didn't seem to make it. And I was very eager for one of each. Tired of waiting, I think I'll buy something different. Waited for that 61" Extra for the last nine months. Sold my other 60" planes in anticipation, but will...

    JR Xport Duo

    I was always told that an xbux/sbus type system had to have servos that supported the technology as well as the rx in order to work. Can you use standard servos and still have it all work? It's one of the reasons I've never tried to use the technology...

    Stupidest thing you have ever done RC related.

    Watched a guy takeoff without putting the wing bolt in last year on a 50cc Slick. It died after about a minute :)

    New 78" Carbon-Z® T-28 BNF Basic with AS3X® Technology

    They do. Two versions offered, one is a BNF version that includes the AS3X rx, the other is the PNP version I think that is receiver ready and costs about 40-50 less.

    Kennett Mo 2nd Annual 3dBash Sept 10-13th

    Bigger isn't always better! What I liked the most about last year was the size... just big enough, but not so large that the airspace is constantly crowded. I have no interest in really large events, like Rolla, Joe Nall, SEFF, and others. Even Cape Girardeau is too big for my tastes, or was...

    I guess he didn't like it, WOAH....

    I've stomped a few planes in my time. Extremely gratifying to do! One was an old .40 sized Long-EZ. Plane was extremely hard to land without cartwheeling and after repairing the front canard 6-7 times I had finally had enough. Stomped. And enjoyed thoroughly doing it! Sometimes it's just gotta...

    Amazing rebates on magnificent flying machines!

    Sleepy, I assume this is the Tower promotion: http://www.towerhobbies.com/products/promos/big_plane_rebate_2015.html ???

    Greetings from Southern Colorado

    How is the flying there in Pueblo? I grew up mostly in Colorado Springs, but there doesn't seem to be much RC action there. A glider club, and that's about it. Have thought about moving back to the area, but with no fellow fliers in that area that's a bit sad. perhaps Pueblo is an option... any...
