    2015 Sequences

    No. It's a continuous 1 and 3/4 roll. Snaps are drawn as a triangle. Red ones are negative snaps.

    2015 Sequences

    Figure 4 is a Cuban. You exit the radius portion to a 45 up line. On the 45 degree up line there is a 2 of 8 that put you in a knife edge entering the 1 and 3/4 roll on the same line. The 1 and 3/4 roll puts you back level.

    DA #1 Customer Service

    Hmmm. Went from a DA150/RE3 to a DA170/RE3 on mine. Only difference was a big increase in power and awsomeness.

    How props are made. Cool video.

    Something a video can't give you is 'smell.' I bet it smells like heaven in that shop.

    Safety Third Lithium battery care tips thread

    In the case of A123s, there is no good reason not to balance charge them every time. I can't speak to LiPos as I have never used them.

    Jim Smith (Joe's Dad) 3DHS Youtube Videos Removed?

    IIRC Google (youtube owner) were starting a pay per view section. They may have moved them to another category.

    Still a lot of hand crafting involved. Cool.

    How did you get or come up with your user name?

    Robo was my nickname (Robert) through school. The "tech" was added when I began repairing office equipment back in the early seventies. I think "Robotech" was also some sort of Japanese cartoon or something and many times folks confuse that. I never correct them, it doesn't matter...

    Amount of space between cowl and carb

    Why are you "beginning to think that"? What symptoms led you to look at the spacing?

    Flight Pack Opinions

    I have the 3.1 Sukhoi like yours. I use two Taildragger 2500ma packs into a Wolverine switch (Deans in/JR out) with four outputs to dual Futaba HS6014 RXs. I fly three IMAC Sportsman sequences per flight and use about 250ma per pack. Those are pretty long flights though I've never actually timed...

    How many of you are running the new DA150L?

    I would stick with the 30X12. A 30x10 (assuming it's a Mejzlik) isn't near enough prop for a DA150.

    fuel tubing size

    The size of the inlet nipple on the carb will determine the best size. Anything larger is not going to improve anything.

    ATT U-Verse, Internet Service

    AT&T Uverse is at best "OK" if you live in a newer housing area. No matter how fast they get the signal to their switching stations, it's still coming through the neighborhood and to your house on their, in some cases, ancient copper lines. It seemed like mine was either slow or down all the...
