    EF 48" Laser EXP

    Then again... The 14x6 gives almost no ground clearence and since my fields are both pretty bumpy, it's asking for trouble. Has anyone flown it on a 14" prop?

    EF 48" Laser EXP

    The results are in for the DM2820/750 on a Xoar 14x6: 760W WOT. A little less than I had expected, but it's not overtaxing the motor, so I'll take it. Then again, the battery was charged last weekend and has been sitting since then, so if I top it up, I may be able to squeeze out a few more...

    My wife just complained that her nail polish remover had disappeared. Again! May I be addicted to RC?

    Valuehobby Saber X 51

    The joiner sure is a pain to install, but it feels pretty sturdy. However, I had a tad of roll coupling if I slammed the elevator. It's possible that it's caused by blowback, but I just mixed it out on my radio and forgot about it. (Another reason you want a radio with a lot of mixes, BTW...)

    EF 48" Laser EXP

    Hey Steve (or anyone else it may apply to), You built your Laser with a DM2820 under the cowl, didn't you? Did you use any of the spacers supplied with the kit? Although the DM2820 is a pretty stubby motor, it seems to fit fine without the spacer. Any reason why I would still use the spacers?

    Don't forget the Sabre X, also from ValueHobby! Same basic wing design and designer as the profile Sabres, but with a full fuse. *VERY* easy to do harriers and hovers with and a lot cheaper to get in the air than the Twist.

    EF 48" Laser EXP

    It's coming together nicely! So far this is the easiest build I've ever done. Everything fits perfectly, is well thought through and well documented. No unpleasant surprises so far. Everthing hinged and glued. Now I just need to deal with tail-wheel (which seems to be intelligently designed for...

    The 3DRCForums -Discuss Anything Thread-

    Dunno... That didn't happen to me until I was in my 30s. It turns out American women LOVE the Swedish accent! I didn't see being followed around by women as a big problem, to be honest... :)

    Twisted Hobbys Owner's Thread!!

    I was hucking like a pro in the back yard for one battery. For the next one, I asked my wife to film me and I promptly hit a tree and broke the prop... :)

    3DHS 70" Velox

    Cool! I'll probably be right behind you... I'm planning on starting the build later this fall. Is that the stock motor mount our did you have to get a 3rd party one?

    Motrolfly DM2820/750kv ZTW 70A ESC Probably TGY-2216 servos. A little overkill in terms of strength, but I've been very happy with them so far and I have a set of them available. Probably a Xoar 14x6. I may prop down to an APC 13x6.5 if I pull too many amps. Should be pretty good!

    Yeah, she has many great qualities, such as being a wonderful mother and a true friend and companion through life. Apart from looking really good with a Buck Huck, that is... :) Still to this date the only Norwegian-Jamaican I've met!

    Phew! Close call! I was just able to snatch it and hide it in the boiler room before she saw it. You may have a serious addiction problem if you hide RC-planes from your significant other... :)
