    How many members use Tapatak during the day?

    It worked well at 3DRC, but when I transferred over it was too hard to subscribe to threads, and was also told that the mobile site was good enough not to use tapatalk so I stopped using it on GSN. Needless to say I haven't used tapatalk since, but I used it a ton at 3DRC

    Thoughts on MKS HV777 and Savox SV-1270TG

    You can get the Savox SV-1270TG's for $89 or so. I have them in a 35cc aircraft am really like them so far.

    GSN Podcasts

    I personally wouldn't think it would be necessary. I enjoy looking at new product exclusives, but don't think I'd take the time to listen to a podcast. six one way, half a dozen the other.

    Anyone have a good source for Radio set-up

    Another Throttle curve tip is to leave the menu open, and do full stop touch and gos to manipulate the graph/expo to create a good feel on the sticks in between the breaks... also you can leave a small plateau/ridge line where the model likes to hover so it's less touchy when maintaining a...

    Motrolfly DM4315=500Kv vs Extreme Flight Torque 4016T-500Kv

    I realize this is an old thread but it's a good place to post this. I purchased a Extreme Flight 4016T-500kv for my Extra 300EXP, for that I bought a ZTW Gecko 85A ESC... what I didn't realize is that for the motorfly and torque motors this ESC has a timing issue that cannot be programed out...

    Need some advice on a new 30cc 3D plane.

    Thanks @Snoopy1 I'm pretty nervous to bring her up again. Changed the Rx with a new one, going to add ferrite rings by the Opto Kill and Batt connections. I should put the old receiver in another plane to see if the symptom follows.

    Need some advice on a new 30cc 3D plane.

    Thanks man! @Snoopy1 here is the link to the 73" Laser Thread: http://giantscalenews.com/threads/aj-laser-230z-73-build-thread.7705/page-21 I noticed you haven't considered a 3DHS 71" Slick either...? That was my first 3D gasser, still love it. I'm anxious to wring out the AJ Laser.... I like...

    Need some advice on a new 30cc 3D plane.

    Hey @Snoopy1 I have a thread on the AJ Laser from 3dRC you should check out. I have Savox 1270's, DA35 w/standard JTec Pitts. The plane flies great! Tracks on rails. Just getting through my break in flights so I haven't done much 3D yet. It puts a smile to my face everytime I take it up. I did...

    New Here? Introduce yourself!

    Funny! I have flown with a black bear on the ground before... he could have cared less! Had a porcupine waddle over and look at my planes... have a picture of that somewhere as well as the bear. I have had an eagle on multiple occasions divebomb attack my planes out of nowhere before... good...

    I must agree! I've been eyeing aerobeez for a while, and have seen them do nothing but improve their products. I'm really looking into the raiden, digging the original green/wht/blue scheme they had because the contrasts that it gave, and now I'm curious how the new one looks... I very much...

    Way cool! I would personally like to see the 78" Typhoon & 78" Extra 330SC (R?) under the canopy. overhead shot, and one looking fwd towards the firewall and one aft towards the empennage. The Firewall box up front. Wing Root chord looking into the ribs and tube support. Horiz Stab attach...

    he he he I'm pretty tempted to try an Aerobeez airframe. It's kinda tricky getting models to Alaska. The website does not have any photos of what any of the new aircraft look like inside. So my solution was to swing by while I was visiting the area and seeing for myself. (last minute I know!!)...
