    35CC 3D Plane

    I only run tech aero IBECs in gassers. They work off a RX channel. Forget about having a ignition battery. It is the same weight as a optokill. I would for sure run the rudder servo in the tail. My 68 had 3 servos in the tail, but I think you will see that 2 is all that is needed. Since tail...

    42" Vyper Bype

    It clearly has not been a good seller. They give one away at all the FLIs in the raffle. I am personally waiting for the new AJ Extra 260 to find a home for my 51 slick gear.

    Check out the DLE-35RA

    Yes, the Falcon 20x7 is a wonderful prop. The Mej 20x7 is very similar. My GT33s don't spin it with enough authority so I use the 19x8. Bigfoot has a Biela 20x6 as it just plain looks cool.

    Check out the DLE-35RA

    I buy mine from http://www.justmodelprops.com Falcon does not make a 19x10. Mejzlik does. I usually get those from Desert Aircraft as they are the importer. PT makes one as well. I will be trying a few of their props soon as they make some of the sizes Falcon does not and are supposed to be...

    Discussion Choosing an air frame----frustrations!

    What day are you going? I will be there most of the day on Friday. It looks like 3DHS is not going as I don't see them on the vendor list. I think they are going to SEFF instead as they as so close together. That means that the 3D vendors will be Precision Aerobatics and AJ Aircraft, Redwing...

    I currently have 7 3DHS planes and 5 EFs. 3DHS is the leader in the 30cc category. The 78 extra is more like a 40cc plane. I think EF is better in the 60" and 48" classes. They are about equal in the 60cc class with each having their strengths. The EF 104" extra is the current state of the art...

    35CC 3D Plane

    It has the same landing gear as the 71 slick. The airframe will handle the extra weight. Tons of DLE-30 ones around and the 35 is just a little more weight. You might loose some harrier performance with the weight over the 20cc offerings. That is why I tried this little 26cc motor. I want to...

    3DHS 70" Velox

    True red I am pretty sure. That seems to be the standard ARF red.

    I was all 3DHS and Horizon for a long time. I was running 8s 4000s in my 30cc planes just so I could eventually run 1 4s 4000 in smaller stuff. Right about this time the EF 60" Edge came out and I bought the yellow and blue one (Michigan colors). I was impressed with how quick it built, how...

    12S power systems ideas and options

    You can add RPM telemetry to your setup if you choose to. I have one that I use in my 60 laser. http://www.horizonhobby.com/products/aircraft-telemetry-brushless-rpm-sensor-SPMA9558 I wonder if you can mod the hobbywing sensor to do this as it is a bit cheaper. I am using it in my heli for...

    EG 120cc Slick By Aztech Aeromodels

    I ordered a intelliswitch and wallaby the other day. I looked real hard at that hidden one, but I think I will like a push button better than a pin with a flag. I have a few Emcotec switches for my electrics and that flag switch is just one more thing for me to fiddle around with in my pockets.

    The EXTRA 300 EXT Build Thread

    I think the majority of the strength in SFGs comes from the covering. Cover one and see how it compares to your MXS ones.

    Bavarian Demon Cortex

    I found these at Walmart the other day. Both the thick and thin dual lock.

    12S power systems ideas and options

    Playing with the calculator I think the 21x10 will be a more appropriate prop for the A60-8S. The 22x10 pushes it to over 4000 watts in and 90A. Considering I am shaving a pound of that 13.6 weight with less motor and batteries I think I will be OK. A little over 2:1 thrust to weight with...

    We can have lots of ARs and pretty liberal gun laws for New England. Looking at all of our local clubs, none of them yet can be developed into a first class facility for one reason or another. Daren's club has the most promise, both in location, noise tolerance, and area. Within 30 miles of...

    We need a facility large enough to support a big club. Pavement, club house, charging, maybe crossing runways like I have seen at a few clubs so you can always fly into the wind. Something like the field of dreams. Build it and they will come.

    12S power systems ideas and options

    Very cool data. I will plug in some comparisons to the a60-8s setup in you calculator when I get off the work merry go round. The hacker or 4330 setup looks like around 12oz lighter. I would think the 8s will spin the 21x10 and maybe the 22x10 as well and I would use 3300s probably. It will not...

    Hot off the truck! DLE-61's are here!!!

    Nordlocks can be acquired at Fastenal. They come in a bag of 25 for under $20. They have a ton of locations through out the country. I use them on the standoff mounting, the muffler, and the prop. Only place I have had a issue is with the muffler. Best to run it up to temp, then tighten the...

    Cool. I hope it builds out light. What other improvements are there over the V1?

    The 24x10TH data is what I am most interested in as I ran that on my Q80 and all my 60cc gassers as well as Hoffman's. Gyro has my magic mejzlik prop at the moment so maybe he can get data off his GP. I think it may be too much for his wind.
