    3DHS 70" Velox

    Mine has a RCGF 26BM which is the correct size motor for this setup. A few ounces more than the 20 and it likes a 18x7 falcon prop. Only issue is that the motor is not proven as I don't know of anyone else with one and I have a gallon through mine. Just don't fly it enough. The 6s 5000...

    Extreme Flight EXP Servo Thread (60" EXP's): Poll!!!

    I am running the BKs in my laser, but for my next 60" plane I would do 7245s. Save the 2 ounces of weight and at least $100. I tried the Spektrum 5060s which were a jitter disaster.

    Why Only Big Planes?

    I know 3DHS is working on a small plane in the 40" range that Arron is working on. They talked about it on their podcast. Super durable for a balsa plane, at least in the air. EF was working on a 48" Pantera that got abandoned. I know I combed all the planes in this size for my 10cc project...

    Why Only Big Planes?

    At Jersey 2 years ago, Ben went on about how long the 47 SHP has managed to stay in production. It is many versions later. Other than the new 60" EF Yak, there is a lot of buzz about the new AJ 56" Laser 230Z. Horizon seems to be favoring foam in the smaller size, and this is being driven...

    I know I shot the maiden. Should be decent video.

    I think there is value in the average joe pilot video. I really learned that with the redwing this weekend. The CG was way off and Brian still made it look good. Maybe not a whole long 10 minute flight, but some of the maneuvers. I also saw this with my Sabre X 10cc conversion. It flew ok in...

    Why Only Big Planes?

    There have been some. In past year Extreme flight has released a 60" Laser, a 48" Yak 54, and a 60" Yak 54 is coming soon. 3DHS is working on a 60" Yak 55. Precision Aerobatics is releasing models in that size. Hangar 9 came out with a Sbach, granted it is heavy and not a 3D monster. Great...

    New Here? Introduce yourself!

    Airframes are consumables in this era of ARFs. You can fix them for a while, but at some point the weight of the repairs starts to affect performance. I loved my 71 slick electric at 10 pounds. I never fly my gasser 71 slick that is over 11.5 with a few "reinforcements".

    30cc / 76" Extra 330

    The one Mike and I assembled is going to go gas later this season. Electric just did not work on the balance front. Just have to decide on a motor. DLE-35RA is the current front runner.

    Austin Texas 3D Bash

    I am pretty sure it was a DLE-111 which ran great after he retuned it for the lower elevation. Vess 27B prop. The Pilot Edges and Yak 54s are their standout airframes.

    New 30cc Redwing Extra 330 build thread.

    There are some photos of my build with Mike we did at the Austin 3Dfest on that thread.

    The A9 programming is wonderful. The ergonomics just fit me personally better on the DX-18 and I believe Hitec has gone above and beyond on the latency issue with the A9X. I like the look of the new Laser radios and the SPC port is a wonderful thing. The voice system in the new Spektrums is...

    I had a A9 and never had any of the weird issues others had. The latency did get to me once I tried 11ms on the DX8. When the DX18 came along and the ergonomics just worked for me I sold all the hitec gear. Also model match and powersafes RXs keep me a spektrum fan. Futaba service is downright...

    My camera does not have the rapid mode actually. I just single fire as quickly as it will let me. dth7 has the chain gun camera and kick ass lense. I should have borrowed it. Also another local guy is a photography nut and has the super money equipment. His backup camera will make you drool.

    Here are a few teaser photos. I got too involved in my build to snap photos at the peak of the event. I hope others got some good ones.

    Downloaded it earlier today. Was just through it. No pictures of the magic smoke. Should be a cool video once I get it compiled. I have 2 layovers in Newark this week to get it done.

    Yes Gecko 155A made the magic smoke. I will deal with the electronics when the proverbial smoke clears. After all that one of the 7955s was not centering. Lots of gremlins with gear, nothing to do with the plane. The actual build took about 8 hours with 2 people and that is with having to...

    Help With Motor Timing and Poor Throttle Response (Gecko 120HV)

    Just put the 150A on the A60-6XS and it was pretty bad. Maybe even worse than the A60-8S.

    Not sure of the count at this point. I know it was non stop from 5 till sun down with multiple planes flying at all times it seemed. Lots of people rolled in after work.
