    AJ Laser 230z 73" Build Thread

    That's what I did, with the exception of 3" pull pull for the rudder.

    AJ Laser 230z 73" Build Thread

    I ended up using Pull-Pull, but the build is not complete yet. I'm probably going to add a battery tray under the turtle deck, or may just split the elevator halves and add another servo if need be.

    AJ Laser 230z 73" Build Thread

    I just realized how long it's been since I did anything to this build thread... :eek: I've been busy flying, fishing, and whatever else is involved with enjoying an Alaskan summer before winter strikes back... again @dcraft do you have anymore flying reports on how your bird has been...

    AJ 73 laser help?

    As far as the cowl mounting, I always re-glue the four tabs with thin CA then add a healthy filet of 30min epoxy (I mixed in micro-balloons to get it thicker), and coated the attaching area being careful not to place any on the outboard side where the cowling slides on top of them. I also use a...

    AJ 73 laser help?

    I would agree with being careful in that price range. It's not worth having a servo lock up and destroy your aircraft with compromising the safety of those around you. Those XQ's do seem to have a good reputation. Heard of people using Solar D770's or D771's but they have about a 20% failure...

    BRICO 43A Pin Flag Switch

    So the question remains... would you guys trust it in a 30cc bird? Is it a better choice than a slider switch or toggle switch (like miracle)? I was trying to find a single switch for one Rx battery while using a IBEC for the IGN.

    BRICO 43A Pin Flag Switch

    I have always wondered how these pin-flags work. Couldn't seem to find a whole lot of info, so I took this one apart - as you can see from the pictures. This one is pretty simple really. They used a Cliff DC power plug-in FC-681473 that has a 2.1mm Pin socket. They machined a piece of...

    BRICO 43A Pin Flag Switch

    Aerobeez 64" 20% Scale Electric Conversion MXS-R At Joe Nall 2015

    Aerobeez 64" 20% Scale Electric Conversion MXS-R At Joe Nall 2015

    Could have just been the 5525's or similar 5 series then. Can't say anything on the 5565's. I have the 7955's in a 71" sick and they have been rock solid, they are not HV servos, wheras the 5565's are.

    Aerobeez 64" 20% Scale Electric Conversion MXS-R At Joe Nall 2015

    I've heard that the 5XXX servos do not have the best centering, especially when compared to a 7XXX series on the *larger birds with bigger surfaces. I had some 5525's in a 65-68" bird, and I didn't like the centering. Don't know if anybody else here can confirm the sub-par centering on the 5...

    Aerobeez 2015 Father's Day Sale Has Started!

    Hard to guess a type of plane when wikipedia says a: "banshee is a fairy woman who begins to wail if someone is about to die"... ha!!! So it has to be something fast? maybe a delta wing like EF's Outlaw?
