    Need some help

    I really was thinking each line :) To early in the morning to be thinking though :) On the sequences, are they back to back as in finish one and go straight into the second one or do you land and wait for your turn to fly the second sequence? It sounds like they are back to back by your...

    Moving up to 100cc questions

    Ok, here's my 2 cents. I know this is not the normal setup, but it brings me piece of mind when flying. I have had this setup in 30%, 36% and 42% planes. I use 2 rx with 2 5000 mah lipos and 2 Sahara regulators with dual outputs. Have a separate battery for the ignition, that is lipo ready. I...

    Went out for a bit last night and it was much more productive. Thank you IMAC FANATIC for the tip on working on just a few maneuvers at a time :) It was a bit windy so doing the upline testing wasn't real productive for the trim settings, will try that again when the wind isn't blowing so hard...

    Need some help

    If I can talk the wife into visiting her friends in Dallas, the Sherman contest is doable for me :) If she don't want to go, I may just get up early and drive down for the day. It is 290 miles, which for me is a walk in the park. Thank you for attaching the files. I had found them, but...

    36% PAU Edge 540T

    I had the same issue with elevator servos glitching, not as bad as yours is, but enough to make me not want to fly the plane. I am using Hitec 7950's, one in each elevator on a 42% Edge. After talking to Hitec, they sent me a couple of inline amplifiers and all is well. I have been flying the...

    DA60 throttle and gurgle issues

    Man, wish I would have known that before getting rid of the 60. It was an awesome engine, but just could never get rid of the gurgle in the mid range, so I sold it and went to a bigger plane :)

    Need some help

    I have a Mej 32x10 on the plane now and it works very well, quiet also. I have tried a 30x12 and it does spool up nicely, but doesn't seem to have the pull that the 32x10 does. It also doesn't provide the breaking that the 32x10 does, at least for me :)

    Need some help

    I will bet you fly from the Farm Club field I believe it is called. Just south of Little Rock, correct? I was going to get down to the last IMAC contest there, but had to shoot a wedding that weekend.

    This really gives the hobby a bad name and some clubs are alot like this

    That would take way to much thinking :-) I don't have that many brain cells left so I want to keep as many as possible.

    I think if we can work out some small solar panels to put on the planes we would be headed in the right direction :)

    Wing Bags

    I have Wing-tote bags which also have the long handles and I use a strap from the top edge on the side of my trailer, string it through the handle and hook the other end at another point on the top edge and snug it so there is no slack in the strap and let them ride :)

    We have inflight refueling at our field. You only come down if your batteries are dead and we are working on that too :)

    This really gives the hobby a bad name and some clubs are alot like this

    I am assuming that you have to take a 30 minute break between flights to let the air settle before disturbing it again :) I personally take an hour nap between each flight so the airplane can get its whits about itself before being subjected to me trying to control it again.

    This really gives the hobby a bad name and some clubs are alot like this

    That sucks! We had some bad blood between 3 clubs in my area that went on for so long that nobody knew what it was about anymore so we started making some of the other clubs fun fly's and before you know it everyone was talking again. It was a good effort on Jason's part to go in the way he did...
