    DA120 and 3 blade prop

    Due to a new club regulation anything over 100CC needs to have a 3 blade prop. So here is my question, anyone try a 3 blade prop on a 35%er with a DA120. DA's website says to use a 27-12 3 blade. Right now my exhaust is Planebender 3D canisters but that could change to his smooth pipes this...

    Lipo Rx Pack

    I originally thought the same thing last year but playing with different C rated batteries on my electrics did change flight performance even though I was not maxing out the lowest C rated batteries I had. My current thought is and I will find out this summer is the higher C rated batteries can...

    GP Evo 176

    FINALLY got to do a quick tune on my GP176 EVO with the Planebender smooth pipes. HOLY COW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 This engine I have a feeling is going to be a beast. The transition on this brand new engine with less than 60oz of fuel through it is...

    Lipo Rx Pack

    This year I am going to experiment with some other receiver packs with a higher discharge C rating. The reason for this is on my 40% IMAC plane with a power safe receiver and all deans connections I would see over a 1V drop during snaps. I was using Pulse 5000mah batteries. I also tested my...

    What is an expected motor temperature and too hot temperature?

    Ideally you would like to see under 300F but under a heavy load you may see just over 300F. I expect to see my normal temps between 250F-300F. My DA170 had reached 350F a few times while I was testing new baffling. I disassembled the jugs for inspection and found no over heat issues at all...

    Logic mixes with JR XG14

    Page 40 in the manual shows you how to set up your snaps. It is already in the radio for stick positions. You can preset up to 4 snaps.

    The how do you setup your IMAC radio thread

    I try not to use any switch's. My snaps are based on stick position so when the sticks are in predermined points at the same time the snap rate kicks in. I do have to flip a switch for my spins and I have an ultra low rate for aileron for rollers. I was using a switch for high rate rudder but...

    Header tape

    I have always had good success with http://cleanfit.com/blue_monster_ptfe_thread_seal_tape_70885.shtml Especially if you have new headers and wrap this over the white Teflon tape.

    Fail Safe Question

    Put me down for idle failsafe. My line of thinking is if I went into a fail safe condition it would be due to signal loss some how. The chances of reconnection to me would have to be really good once the plane got into another attitude where connection could be reestablished. My understanding of...

    AJ 93" Laser on Q80

    Always figure a few extra minutes of air time waiting to enter the box and holding to land. Ive seen electric setups and while they are very quite and cool the sequences always looked rushed to me.

    Hangar 9 3.1M Sukhoi

    So, there is a thread on this forum about header tanks or vent tanks (maybe both). And it was brought up about having a smaller tank to catch fuel from the vent line. I for one get irritated about fuel getting on the fuse after every flight. Tried different methods with the vent line but it...

    JR XG11 and RG1131B Receiver

    I try to position the antennas as far away from each other and in different directions, AKA antenna pointed up or down and the other pointed left/right/forward/backward. Here is a pic of my install. I made a bracket to keep one antenna pointed up and the other is pointed forward and it is...

    DA 50 Fuel Tank Size?

    properly tuned a 16oz tank should be more than enough. the maneuvers you mentioned don't require full throttle a lot. so that engine should use minimal fuel.

    I received an email from "Mitchell Randall" artefero10@gmail.com. It started off normal but then came this "Sounds good, would you accept Certified Check as payment then after it clears your Bank my mover will come for pick up. $900" since this is a common phrase of scammers I questioned him and...
