    Da-35

    I have run both. Sold the Pitts. We do have the noise issue and since all of our planes are now quiet, we all get annoyed with someone running a straight muffler. I cut my header and have not noticed any peak issues like I had on my RE2 setups. Also don't have a ton of time on the setup...

    3DHS and Extreme Flight Merger?

    Maybe because RC Factory is in the Czech republic and is insulated from law suits, and the EF is not. That or they don't care. Ben got whacked by Red Bull a few years ago, and they are sensitive to this topic now.

    3DHS and Extreme Flight Merger?

    It was supposed to be a turbo beaver, but they could not get the name licensing. Crazy Canucks.

    Joe Nall 2016 = QUIET!!!

    Falcon and Mejzlik are not the same. I have thousands into props and can say this with some conviction. Falcons are lighter and spool faster. They are also thinner. The Mej tend to be quieter and the evo line of props are wonderful. Mej also wins on the size selection in the bigger sizes...

    Joe Nall 2016 = QUIET!!!

    Hoffman and I had to learn way too much about noise propagation and db readings. The frequeny of the noise is as important and the loudness. The thing our complainer hated was the on/off throttle of 3D planes and prop ripping. The helis fly lower, with a higher frequency and the noise just...

    Joe Nall 2016 = QUIET!!!

    We have faced noise issues for the past few seasons and now essentially every airplane is either on pipes, cans, or is a OS GT. My issue is how are they going to enforce this. We have strict noise testing. From what I saw on the 3D line with so many stock setups, I doubt many would be able to...

    Perfered RX from Spectrum

    On the main topic, I had a ton of Spektrum RXs. I have used some orange RX, but not lemon. Since I have 2 Jeti radios now, I am going to completely phase out the Spektrum stuff even in my foamies to standardize but here was my general fleet plan. Electric 70" on down = AR8000 or 7610 with...

    IMAC learning and support using flight videos

    I am not sure the super light PA stuff will do good at IMAC. Wind is always a factor at contest, and having more mass and wing loading helps for this sort of flying. Also you could only compete with it in Basic as it does not meet the 10% rule in the higher classes.

    3DHS and Extreme Flight Merger?

    I think snowdog is right. There will be sections. Minimal seems, like top and bottom or a wrap around with just one seem. They looked nice. I am not a fan of super busy schemes that Arron loves to make. I suppose I could strip it and recover it if I needed to make a major repair.

    esc for 70" extra

    My A60-6XS had several ESCs. Started with castle ICE 100. It got smoked when trying to use the brake function. Then I used a Hobbywing 100A platinum which worked fine. The next iteration had a Gecko 155A, but the BEC failed and fried all my servos. The last iteration I went back to a castle...

    3DHS and Extreme Flight Merger?

    On the covering, maybe they will sell the whole airplane worth printed so you can just use the part you need. Certainly a high margin, small footprint sort of thing they could stock.

    3DHS and Extreme Flight Merger?

    My timing could not have worked out better. I will be hitting Nall tomorrow around 0900 to get all registered and pickup the golf cart. Things have been very quiet on the coverage for 3DHS and EF from the FG and GSN coverage of the event. Everyone knows something is up.

    Aerobeez 70″ Slick PRO Step By Step Build Guide

    You can do a Mezon 90 or 90 lite if we are talking 12s 3300. That is what I ran in my AJ laser and will recycle it to a new plane. Mezon 90 and 130 are 12s Mezon 120 and 160 are 8s These are the ones with BECs and there is a lite version of each of them. I got a 90 lite for my 60" laser. I...

    Extreme Flight 76/83" MXS

    It uses a GPS tag. GPS altitude sucks (I have been using GPS in airplanes for almost 20 years). Just the nature of the system as it was designed for lat/long to plant ordinance. I think I did not do good enough of job getting the system calibrated as it is a PIA. SleepyC did a decent video...

    Extreme Flight 76/83" MXS

    Got some video of mine today as a trial with the soloshot 2. Still need some work on the camera setup and the flight was about testing the setup so no crazy flying. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OY_OnDO4SzQ&feature=youtu.be

    Aerobeez 70″ Slick PRO Step By Step Build Guide

    The spin and the Mezon are very different ESCs. My spin 170 has a very paltry 1.5 second accelation setting. Get a Mezon 120.

    The 3DRCForums -Discuss Anything Thread-

    Yes, the Sukhoi was a mess and I sold mine pretty quickly. A buddy just put together a 60e Beast. I only got to fly it for a minute or two. No 3D. He then proceeded to get his second 120cc together and that maiden should happen in the next few days if it has not already happened. His first one...

    3DHS and Extreme Flight Merger?

    The parts I usually need are either fiberglass, plastic, or carbon fiber. I can repair balsa and ply, but making a canopy is a bit beyond my current skill level.
