    3dhs 92" edge 540 !!!

    It took sticking another tool down the hole to straighten the bolt, but I got it eventually.

    Austin Texas 3D Bash

    #1 question. How far away is Salt Lick BBQ? Gotta get some of that Texas brisket while I am down there.

    St George Utah 3D Bash

    I had a H9 extra. I loved the scheme and the way it flew. Mine met a early end due to a failed BLS-156. I believe it has been resurrected by the local I sold it to. My only complaint is my usual one, not enough pitch authority. Go figure.

    3dhs 92" edge 540 !!!

    You got it. Sorry I typed that very quickly last night before I had to go to bed. 0335 wake up. @lovesxtra wants to make a kit to do this with a pre made modified bolt (he is a gunsmith with the tools to do this). I told him the easiest would be a bolt with a hole through the center of the...

    3dhs 92" edge 540 !!!

    I just had to do this. I cut a 4-40 bolt head off (m3 blindnuts I have are too big). Used a Dremel to cut a lip in the bolt. Tied string around that lip and dropped it through the wing tip. Once through I put a blind nut on the bolt and fished it back torch to the tip. Used pliers to pull the...

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

    Yes, that is another row of caps, the wire gauge is 12 guage on both sides and they appear equal in length, but I have not stuck a ruler on there yet. The Gecko is 10 gauge on the source side like Castles. Plane is in the repair shop so this might not get tested till we get to the Nall. Will...

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

    I have played with throttle curves on my A60-6XS in the past. Flew it yesterday and the throttle only bothered me on initial takeoff and wall to hover. Tried a few props and settled on the 20x12. The sbach is 12 pounds now and like that speed from what I can tell. Will go back and forth on...

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

    That is why I am going out to fly it first before condemning it. I mainly fly gassers, and I might not notice this at all. My next biggest electric I currently have is a 60 laser with a torque v2 and 85A Gecko which is insane power and response. I have a A60-6XS that was just on this plane with...

    Servo bench testing

    I will have to pull my 172 out of my slick and test it. My 157 only did low 400s. I know it was enough for my 110 yak. I have a savox 2230 in there now. If that fails, then I will have to go to a tray.

    St George Utah 3D Bash

    Events are so much fun. Looks like I will make 2 bashes this season and maybe 2 FLIs.

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

    Which motor. I read the manual today and it looks like 22 degrees or 30 degrees for high pole count motors. I switched mine to 30 as I have a 28 pole motor.

    35CC 3D Plane

    @lovesxtra runs a 19x8 carbon on his. Mejzlik or Falcon, your choice. You can use a 18x8 for break in. 20x7 is too much without the pipe, especially for the energy loving Velox.

    35CC 3D Plane

    I just went through this with my electric sbach. The included pilot-RC carbon spinner with the bolt was lighter than the EF electric 3" spinner I had on it. Look at chief's site and see if there is a red painted pilot one available. I would call them to make sure they actually have it in stock...

    Anyone running the eflite power 180?

    Is it available yet? I have been keeping my eye on that motor for reports as it seems like a good 12s 3300 candidate even though it says 10s, the kv seems more like a hot 12s.

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

    This is the one. I bought the last one they had, at least for today. http://www.helidirect.com/hobbywing-flyfun-brushless-esc-100a-hv-version-41-p-10575.hdx About the same price as the Gecko, so no bargain. I can probably pick up a 80HV at Nall from one of the vendors. I will try to...

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

    How long ago was this? The product page claims there is a new version of the software that adds compatibility to other motors. I am somewhat used to being a beta tester for things. I know the issues with the Castle. The Edge does not work with my motor, and the Ice2 looses power. It appears...

    72" Extra 330SC

    Another thing is the Hyperion or whatever rebrand battery checker. It is the only one I know of that goes to 3 decimal places and does a good job telling you how full a LiFe pack is. http://www.helidirect.com/hyperion-eos-sentry-battery-checker-p-20554.hdx

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

    You are most certainly not crazy or wrong. This is no better than what I saw from your videos and might actually be worse. I changed the timing to 30 degrees per the manual after this (this is auto) and no difference, as that is what it said for high pole count motors. I don't like loosing...
