    Sport JTEC RADIOWAVE 26% Pitts Model 12

    Weight is actually foremost in my mind. That is why I was looking for alternatives on batteries. But the Pulse 3600 packs are pretty light, so they'll probably be best. Yeah, me either. I will ask my friend if he needs more smoke oil. He may be interested in buying it from you. Good input. I...

    Sport JTEC RADIOWAVE 26% Pitts Model 12

    I appreciate the suggestions. I think I'll stay the course. The twin 36's will probably be sufficient. I want all the grunt from my servos I can get, so the Life packs probably will not fit the bill. Most 55cc planes utilize total of 5 servos and throttle. I will actually be running a 100cc...

    Sport JTEC RADIOWAVE 26% Pitts Model 12

    This thing is getting to be almost too pretty to fly. I'm very happy with the scheme choice. Top of upper wing striped. Have just the bottom sides of the upper and lower wings yet to finish. I've been second guessing myself on flight packs though. In the past I've used Fromeco LiIon 5200's on my...

    Sport JTEC RADIOWAVE 26% Pitts Model 12

    Awesome! Just did a quick visual check. It appears the suggested cg range is right where it is supposed to be. In front of the rear cabane/leading edge of lower wing. 1/2" in fact. However if I understand the drawing correctly, not even close to the 25-33% range that is depicted. But it is all...

    Just a little work on the Pitts today. Got the top of the lower left wing striped. No other striping. Just didn't feel much like cutting striping today. I also got the lower wing aileron hinges glued in. I plan to finish the striping tomorrow and very likely start installing servos and...

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

    Not really my project... but will be installed on the gasserized trainer. My buddy is now making skis as we are buried in snow. Lol. These will go on the kids' trainer. He is also making me a set for the H9 Cessna. If I can't have warmth and sunshine to fly...I'll fly from the frozen desert. So...

    servo balancing

    Oh no worries. I don't feel you started a debate. Just trying to help with a little info. The '54's are an amazing servo as far as I am concerned. Granted, probably not suitable for a larger plane...installed individually. However ganged with 2 or 3 servo applications, they perform impeccably...

    servo balancing

    Lack of high torque/high speed? HS7954SH=403oz@7.4=.12 transit $70.00 HS7950TH=486oz@7.4=.14 transit $115.00 And as pointed out if you want "REALLY" top shelf...(as mentioned) HSB9380TH=472oz@7.4=.14 transit $130ish. If you can sacrifice a little speed for pure out of this world "Hulk" beasty...

    Sport JTEC RADIOWAVE 26% Pitts Model 12

    I didn't get to the striping today as planned. Unexpected visit from my sister from Utah and just wanting to take it a little easy today. But I did get some progress accomplished this evening. I started gluing in the hinges on the upper wing, elevators and rudder. I will finish gluing the lower...

    Why is it....

    In fact, 100% correct. In a simpler and more basic example, it is the mass weight at impact. Take this as an example: Put the weight of an 18 wheeler into the size of a freight train, with the strength of a Yugo....(Remember the Yugo's?).... then drive that big truck into a brick wall...

    servo balancing

    Exactly very true. Especially if the control horns being used are not of the stud configuration. It is much more difficult (but not impossible) to get a perfectly quite no bind setup. Good info Terry.

    servo balancing

    Actually, it doesn't limit e.p.a.. Hitec programmable servos allow for programming e.p.a. in the programmer. If for example the end point adjustment is altered, the subtrim feature in the radio still has full affect or useage. When programming, I typically set my direction of rotation, (if I...

    Is this prop safe to use ?

    You're just a very kind person. I on the other hand am noted for speaking my mind. Not necessarily a good trait to possess. I have no problem vocalizing the idiocy of certain "wanna be" pilots. "MANY" times I would witness the same gent doing beyond questionable flying or safety techniques. One...

    Damn you.... you're going to make me want to put smoke on the Pitts. I'm just wondering where I can put a tank. And what size? Maybe a 16 in the can tunnel???
