    Skip Stewart's P3 Revolution, 60cc, Horizon Hobby, NEW!

    It is nearly identical layout to a 2 meter pattern biplane. Right down to the wing planform. Which is why I bet it will fly awesomely!! Here is one of the hottest designs out there. Look how similar they are

    Radio brownout - Lost another pair of underwear (and confidence in the plane)

    I have never seen that on any airplane. I have tested a number of Futaba receivers with 3S lipo unregulated pulling 10 amp loads through the RX, never failed to work. This was bench testing only.

    Radio brownout - Lost another pair of underwear (and confidence in the plane)

    The other parts of the RX never see either the voltage or load applied by the servos. Most RXs have a voltage regulator that sets the voltage the internal circuits see so what the servos are seeing/doing will have little effect on the rest of the RX. Yep, that is how they most all work. The...

    Radio brownout - Lost another pair of underwear (and confidence in the plane)

    Heat is one of the prime enemies of electronics. My Garmin GPS will stop working if it sits in the sun on a hot day. And Futaba had an issue with the 6014 (first batch) several years ago where they got a batch of chips that were slightly out of spec which made they RX sensitive to high heat.

    Radio brownout - Lost another pair of underwear (and confidence in the plane)

    Couple of comments. I have never seen a "power rating" for a receiver, or a "limit" published , for any brand. I have asked people who would know if either one of the 2 major brands have ever seen a receiver in their service center that was cooked due to being "over amped". Neither one has. I...

    Radio brownout - Lost another pair of underwear (and confidence in the plane)

    Plus one on this point. I am amazed at how popular they have become. I have always seen them as an eloquent solution to a non-existent problem. Why introduce another potential failure point, added weight and complication to solve a "problem" that exists only in the minds of the people who market...

    Deadstick and close call

    It's the hardest thing to do in this hobby, believing that pushing DOWN will help you make the field. The strong urge is to pull UP, which only guarantees you will be well short. Easy to type, a real Mo'Fo' to do in a high stress deadstick!!! THere's a reason they call it "DEAD" stick!!
