    Servo advice needed Extreme Decathlon

    If running 6V set up, I would run 1283s, because you can use the same servos in a 35% airframe. If running a HV set up, 1270s all the way! Im most pleased with my recent Savox servo purchase from Brian. All my airplanes are set up on HV. To me, it doesnt matter what servo I use, as they...

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    Don't call them. The Tillitson is a more "sensitive" carb for adjustments. Get it close, and fly it for a while. 3W and Tillitsons take several gallons to get tuned up. There's nothing wrong with the Tillitson carbs that come on the 3W 100/106/110. :) Tillitsons are all I use on my 3W's...

    Share your Trailer Ideas Here

    We've had some rain here over the past few days. I did happen to find a leak around the side door. So, very fortunate that I found it now, rather than later once things commence.

    3D Rebuilding the Compy MX2.

    Yup. Won't be any switches in this fuselage. Except for the JR DMSS soft switch bind plug style. And maybe some balance plug extensions...... I set up a 33% GP 330L for a buddy last nite. Balance mode was super simple on it, since I kept the ATV's at 100%, max DR is 100%. Very little...

    da 150 prop

    Falcon 31x10W is a killer prop. But it really depends on what airframe its on.

    What is a safe temperature?

    LiOns are fine fully charged over nite. Even the lower C LiPo Rx packs are fine over nite. I charged up a pair of TDRC 3300 Rx packs in my Corvus for this weekend. Internal resistance of the packs, even in parallel showed 2.3 milliohms each cell.

    Getting started in Giant Scale RC---Tools and Supplies

    Invest in a good set of metric drivers, like the Scorpions. http://www.scorpionsystem.com/catalog/tools_1/ They are a little pricey, but well worth it, my opinion. They have just come out with a tap and die for metrics as well. The taps and dies are ubber expensive. Even sponsored pilots...

    Iron-on coverings? Opinions?

    Yes, you discovered that lower temps works well with Ultra over Mono. The airplane in my avatar has Ultra over Mono in the fuse and wings. I dont recall how low of temp I went, but Im sure it wasnt under 200. It all works! :)

    Iron-on coverings? Opinions?

    I use trim solve with monokote. Seals the edges and cleans the smears all at the same time. :)

    Futaba 18MZ/14SG/8FG Tips and Tricks

    Here's a useful tip on picking up ANY transmitter. Do not pick it up by the neckstrap that is attached to the eyelet on the Tx. Don't be that 1 guy who did that, and had to pay almost $1400 to have the screen replaced on his 18MZ. Just so you know, it was not me, as I'm a JR guy. Even still...

    3D Rebuilding the Compy MX2.

    Having to pay $2400 in taxes this year really hurt me. Since this is already paid for, Im gonna complete it and fly it some. The Dalton and the Carden both need paint work, but that will have to wait. Or Im going to have to sell off something.
