    3DHS 58" Edge 540

    That's probably the route I'll eventually take with this plane. 6s and one of the lower kv winds of the Motrolfly 4315 should be pretty nice!

    That was fun. Aronph gave me a few pointers on how to master rolling maneuvers. I'll try them again when I haven't been drinking wine... :)

    Cool Predator drone crash....fail

    Not yet! I still have a bit of a queue of planes to be built. But I'll give it a shot when I have a chance!

    Cool Predator drone crash....fail

    And I wouldn't call it a complete "fail" BTW. It looked plenty cool while it lasted. Fix and post new video! :)

    3DHS 58" Edge 540

    I just got back from the field and my maiden of a very similar setup. Here's my setup: Leopard 5055 720kv. Land Power 85A OTPO ESC Gens Ace 4000mAh 4s with maybe 50 flights on them. APC 15x7E 1096W @ 72A Impressions: Definitely not a rocket ship, but adequate power for 3D flying. Good...

    3DHS --FLY LOW-- Always OFF TOPIC

    I just got a 72" Extra as my first gasser (but with a PTE36). If you get it, let's start a thread here and compare notes. The pros can chime in and others can learn from our... ehm... mistakes.

    Gotta love Linda's Hobby Hut in Pompton Plains, NJ! She's not a sponsor of the site or anything like that. but she deserves a honorary mention tonight! It's so rare to walk into a hobby store that 1) has stuff in stock, 2) has staff who know what they're talking about and 3) doesn't have rotten...

    That's what I've always said: "A good day at the field beats a bad day at the impound lot"... No, but seriously, that sucks. :grumpy:

    74" Edge 540

    Watts = Amps * Volts, so if you will pull more amps for the same power if you reduce the voltage. If you go from 8s to 6s, your amp draw (assuming you pull the same power) will increase by one third.
