    78'' Extra

    I have owned both and the 78 is a better machine. The 70" just does not have enough pitch authority for me. I ordered a second set of stabs and I get MAX possible deflection. I have the 70 on a 6S setup with the A60-6XS and is very light and flies very very nice. Just not aggressive enough...

    78'' Extra

    I did all that testing on the 60 on Thursday and after the first start I hand flipped it every time and it started the correct way. I have only had the 22 go backwards once, but I don't hand flip it too much and it has the least amount of time on it. It is going into the Velox this week I...

    10cc 3D gasser --- An exercise with a VH Sabre-X 51" and a Evolution 10GX

    Muffler problems are common for some reason on this motor. If you look on the RCG and RCU threads on this motor you will see all sort of people having problems with the stock one. In my particular case, I look back and I remember not feeling I got a tight fit on this particular bolt. The...

    10cc 3D gasser --- An exercise with a VH Sabre-X 51" and a Evolution 10GX

    I put the airplane on the bench last night and pulled the gear out to rebend it. In the process I noticed the muffler was loose and it turns out the front bolt stripped the thread so I will have to do a repair on the muffler before I can fly it again. Ordered the heli coil to do this, but that...

    3DHS 60cc Yak-55

    Sounds like someone wants to put a DA-70 in it. I am on the pre-order list for it, but I think I am going sideways and putting it in a plane made for the DA-85 and have it be light and floaty.

    Here is an entire thread basically about the the GT33 on a pipe. http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_10773134/anchors_10773134/mpage_1/key_/anchor/tm.htm#10773134 I love my GT33, and I am going to maiden my second one this weekend on a Pilot-RC Yak 54. I am very interested in your results as...

    60" Laser-EXP

    7245s probably for me. This might be the subject of my 15cc project. I think I will build an electric one first though. One of the locals has the Torque V2 he is trying to sell to me.

    10cc 3D gasser --- An exercise with a VH Sabre-X 51" and a Evolution 10GX

    These are normal issues when out in the "experimental" category. I don't have a ton of glow experience so some things that a old glow guy would know I don't about vibration issues at this size and tuning. I do like the way this plane flies and I feel I picked a good platform for this trial. I...

    10cc 3D gasser --- An exercise with a VH Sabre-X 51" and a Evolution 10GX

    I did end up ordering the Spektrum/Savox servos for this plane today. UPS says it will take them a whole week to move them from IL. I will refrain for a discourse on said subject. Got a few flights today on her. Engine is running much better now and it is not stupid rich anyore. Flight 1 I...

    10cc 3D gasser --- An exercise with a VH Sabre-X 51" and a Evolution 10GX

    I already have some 7245s for the 15cc project already. I had a 59 slick and EF 60 edge and the EF plane clearly handled extra weight much better. I know in the 60 edge I can put at least one standard size servo in the tail to help with balance. The servos were just a trial and were...

    Need help with OS33 Setup: Pipes & Without

    I would normally say check out this site. http://pure-gas.org/ But I see that the closest is over 2 hours from you. I also checked airnav and the closest airport is a seaplane base over a hour away. Check local Marinas as they also sometimes have ethanol free gas as boats sit a lot too.

    10cc 3D gasser --- An exercise with a VH Sabre-X 51" and a Evolution 10GX

    I think that was the flight with the APC 14x4. Later on we tried a Xoar 13x4 wood that was a lot better, but the "arrival" broke the prop. Got a new one and the weather has conspired since then. I tried to get both flights with hat cam, but the footage is pretty bad. Cody tuned the engine...

    Need help with OS33 Setup: Pipes & Without

    Avgas (100LL) has a ton of lead in it to get the octane up that high. These type of engines will eventually foul the plug using that fuel. I used to own a full scale plane that eas designed for 80 octane Avgas which has 1/4 the lead of 100LL and I mixed it with pump fuel (pre ethanol) to get a...

    3DHS 70" Velox

    4320-400 seems like a good choice. I wonder if there will be any spacing issues. Probably not, but something to look into.

    3DHS 70" Velox

    Did some flying on my Mintor 22 Velox this past week and tried a few props. I managed to get 8100 RPM out of a Falcon 18x6 which works out to 14 lbs of thrust which is pretty darn good for this class of motor. I also ran the 17x6.5 and was over 8600 which is close to the same number. I have...

    I wonder if they tumble better without all the fuse area. Need SFGs for knife edge. One of the locals has the 46".

    10cc 3D gasser --- An exercise with a VH Sabre-X 51" and a Evolution 10GX

    I ordered it and the APC 14x4W along with some parts for the upcoming 15cc project which I believe will be more successful as the weights are closer. In that plane I think I will see a excellent flying model that will be a little underpowered at slow speed, but goes a bit faster than the...

    10cc 3D gasser --- An exercise with a VH Sabre-X 51" and a Evolution 10GX

    I own 8 other gassers, 3 glow, and numerous electrics so I am familiar with the various power systems. The draw to me of this engine is the ability to spin larger prop compared to glow. The plane flew much better on the 14x4 and I hope to get more video in the coming week to demonstrate this...

    10cc 3D gasser --- An exercise with a VH Sabre-X 51" and a Evolution 10GX

    Yesterday was the day of CA hinges. After this flight I reglued the aileron back on and flew a few more times. The last flight I put on the Xoar 14x4 and what a difference that made. It flew so much slower and stable it had to be seen to be believed. Right around 10k on the RPM. I forgot to...
