    74" Edge 540

    Almost perfect! :) What I don't like is that he seems to have a single wire from the battery to the receiver. Each servo wire can only handle a couple of amps and if you max out the current on all your servos (think "KE spin" or "tumble") you'll get a lot more current than that. There are two...

    Extra 330 EPP Full Fuse Coming soon to Aerobeez! Pics!

    Pretty good so far! I smashed it into a small tree ans all that broke was the prop. If it's anything like the Sbach, it's awesome!

    Look what was under the tree for me!

    Thank you, Santa! :)

    Look what was under the tree for me!

    Not technically under the tree, but I spoke to Santa and according to him there's a DA-50 and a AeroBeez 88" Slick v2 on his sleigh en route to me. Christmas joy!!!

    72" Extra 330SC

    You're hard core! :) Are you using a transmitter glove? My fingers turn to ice after a minute of flying and flying with gloves doesn't work for me...

    New Slick 540 30cc and 50cc

    Looks like I'll be getting the 50cc version of this Slick! :banana: :tomcruise: :pompom:

    The 3DRCForums -Discuss Anything Thread-

    Not 3D related (but aviation related). Time lapse of the air traffic in the US over Thanksgiving. Pretty fascinating! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2iEhvrI3FWI

    Kind of at a crossroads, need some advice/opinions/etc.

    Wade, You may just be trying to progress too fast as you said. You don't HAVE to fly big gassers! My all time favorite plane is the 51" AJ Slick. It does everything exceptionally well, handles almost any weather, it fits in any car, takes a minute to set up and is inexpensive enough that I can...

    Crack Turbo Beaver proto

    As I said, i does KE with very little rudder input. And one wheel is more than enough. :)

    Sh*t! That hurts to watch. :( My condolences!

    Building of the 30cc Slick 540 from Redwing RC!!!

    FWIW, I'm amazed the airframes hold up to the abuse we subject them to. My favorite trick with my 58" Edge is to put it into a dive, pull up and corner the sticks to produce a violent "crankshaft" spinning the plane 4-5 times around the wing tube. I can't even begin to imagine the G-forces I put...

    Crack Turbo Beaver proto

    Yeah, I think I'm a bit tail heavy, actually.

    Aerobeez 48" Sbach 342 Full Fuselage Video Review!

    Yeah, I love it too! It does, by far, the crispest and easiest KE-spin of all the planes I own. And it's sturdy enough to go crazy with... This for example looked really cool when the picture was taken, but ended badly a few seconds later. Result: No damage. A few weeks ago, I flew it straight...

    3DHS Planes Picture Thread

    Is that the same Slick that you smashed into the ground about a year ago? Amazing in that case! That was pretty much full bore into the ground the way I remember it.

    My 71" is making a comeback after its recent injuries. Worsening slickness is in the forecast! http://www.3drcforums.com/entry.php?176-3DHS-71-quot-Slick-Repair-Log-part-1

    Crack Turbo Beaver proto

    Just got back from some park huckin'. One of the many awesome aspects of this plane is the KE flight. I've never flown a plane that truly required ZERO rudder input for knife edge flight. The first couple of times I tried it, I completely botched it and I was wondering what I was doing wrong...

    Looks like the canopies for the Electric 71" are back in stock! And there was much rejoicing!

    IMAC learning and support using flight videos

    Subscribing to this thread. I talked to my friend Tim (AeroheadTW) yesterday and we decided to try to learn at least the basic pattern next season. I don't think I'll be flying any big IMAC competitions, but I do believe it would help me fly a bit more controlled instead of just banging the...
