    Yup....65,536 to be exact. That is unheard of and as they put it..."jaw dropping". But I have to wonder... there is such a huge span between 4096 and 65,536 that I would think a guy could never ever in a million years "feel" the difference. At 4096, servos are absolutely silky smooth. Can you...

    IMAC Aero Tech 35% Velox Custom Build

    1.5 pounds on a 50-60cc airframe is a lot. But I don't see any way possible to remove that much weight from this 35%'er. Then again, what do I know? I have never "cored" a foam plane before. Joe tells me he saved about 3-4 ounces per wing and about half that per each stab half and fin/rudder...

    The I'm NOT going out flying thread.

    No....I won't be doing any flying anytime soon. Not unless I want to be brave and dig out the gasserized trainer and put the skies on it. Yes, we have snow. About 3" and still falling. UGH!!!! I would post a photo, but I am just so depressed, I can't bring myself to post such vulgar and...

    Talk about beautiful work. You have such a devotion to this plane and this hobby. If this plane does not win Top Gun, those judges will need their heads examined. Now make me a panel for the new 330....K??????? Hee hee

    Merry Christmas 2017

    That is one of the most outstanding Christmas greetings I have seen in some time. Brings back memories of my 50% Hemple Edge Christmas tree. LOL. Merry Christmas to all of you. No better family and friends can a guy have than his holiday family here on GSN.

    Funny you should ask that. I too wanted to know the "very" same thing a few years back when I acquired my A9x. I originally had an Aurora like my son. But then purchased my 9x and we put the two of them to the test. The Aurora is capable of 1024 resolution. The A9x is 2048 with the Optima rx's...

    Well uh, umm....., .11 transition time is pretty quick. At 4096 resolution they are smooth as melted butta!

    Yup, A9x is 4096 resolution, 7ms latency, (refresh update time) Damn, it is so hard to walk away from this radio. I just want a few more channels please Santa.

    Futaba 16sz

    So the 11ms update time is the latency. 11 is good. I think... don't quote me, my A9x is like .07. I'm gonna check that. I also want at least 2048 on the resolution. Few newer radios have 4096 resolution as does the new Hitec rx's.

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    I dunno brother. I would think a "drop" in displacement would make for an otherwise good flying airplane a real 'Bout the best you could hope for would be circle flying!

    Scale 50% Dalotel 165

    By the way, what is the time line on receiving it? They making some good progress for it? Oh and before I forget...going along with their quality and craftsmanship...(which is amazing in my opinion) was the price tag hefty? Just curious?

    OMG....trust and believe I am chopping at the bit to see that sweet heart. Hell, I would trade every red head I got for one of your new engines. Wow!

    Scale 50% Dalotel 165

    I really don't believe that! How difficult could it be to devise a little gauge that will read your telemetry input for airspeed and altitude? Head temps should be easy. GPS signal for direction should be a breeze for you. C-mon....you know you want to! Just do it! You know I am prodding you...

    We're getting close everyone. 6 days to go. And I am no closer to a front runner scheme. Oh I have plenty of favorites, just nothing set in stone. It is usually right after Christmas that we realize we didn't get something we really wanted. So here is your chance. Get those great little post...

    I've been scouting around for a new radio system also. I like the DX 20 a lot. Was also looking at the xi12. I like what I see with the 16sz. I flew Fu-ta-baa for many years trouble free until I bought my Aurora 9 then the 9x. I am curious if anyone knows what the Latency and Resolution of the...
