    so, regarding wing flex... take a look at this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amgUea0kCFU it's of a 64" MXS by Extreme Flight. Shot with a 'keychain camera' mounted to the vertical stab in the back. Mainly just watch the wing flexing... they flex in flight quite a bit!

    not me, I'm over my previous love of Edges... now a 50-60cc Velox - I would jump all over that one.

    ahh dx7's for 150 bucks come up all the time on rcgroups classifieds. At least once a week. The good deals that go really fast are the occasional ones for 135-145 or ones than include a lipo battery and/or case or other extras. When you get ready there will be one available!

    Discussion Twist 60 ARF

    I see him post most often on theprofilebrotherhood.com. A bit on rcgroups as spastic. Never seen him here though.

    Good choice too! I've been half tempted to get one of those SabreX's. I built two kits of the Sabre 56 profile versions and loved them both. Spaz designs some nice planes.

    Discussion Twist 60 ARF

    The Twist would be a bit of a crossover plane to be sure. For pure full on 3d I would go with something else, but to start playing with more acrobatic/aggressive planes, it will do. It should be capable of hovers and harriers, which are a solid building block for all other 3d moves. It is very...

    Discussion Twist 60 ARF

    Prop size is best done by examining the manual for the motor and selecting one of the recommended sizes. On a glow motor you want the prop to be large enough to keep the motor from over-revving. And not so large that it keeps it from being able to spin up to the proper/needed rpm. The numbers...

    How do you figure? There are 80 channels in the band. 6 people flying, probably another 4-5 in the pits working on their planes, your radio will be fine. In the testing that was done when dsm2 first came out they had over 30 transmitters on simultaneously and had zero problems. The only times...

    I'm in for a fly-in! Happy to offer our club for a site, We are right on I-40 (literally... we have to be careful not to overfly the freeway!) Have AC power at the field, about 8 dedicated circuits so far with plans to add about 6 more on the other side of the field. Plenty for a good...

    Trunk Monkey... there are about 4-5 of us fanatics/addicts in the Little Rock area that might well come up for an event if you organize one. I'd love a test flight on a bigfoot :) I saw in fly in Cape Girardeau, but no pony rides were offered then. I'd even be happy to do it buddy boxed just so...

    71" AJ Slick Building, Flying, and Questions

    I subscribe to the second one as well! If it ain't obviously broke, take back off and give it hell and find out in the air. It's a more spectacular crash that way :D well done :)

    DM-4325 motor.

    I've had a few different 4325's, couple of 380's, and a 310 when I tried 8s briefly. Went back to 6s, but wanted more speed out of it. Talked to Ken and have now purchased 2 425kv ones. LOVE the 425kv. Much more speed and plenty of power on 6s with an 18x10 prop. nothing special on the flying...
