    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    Negative David, Baby stayed home snuggled up under her drop cloth sheet snuggled up next to the big ass Yak. I needed some serious therapy today, so it was all about the 100cc Purple Mahem Machine. A little hovering here, a little rudder "bumpin" there...and a whole lot of rolling circles. Dang...

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    Home for the weekend. Skies have been raining, It's a chilly 54 out...but the wind is not blowing and the rains have stopped. (For now) I'm going flying and nothin's gonna stop me today. :banana-dance::banana-dance::banana-dance:

    Sport Restoring The Laser

    Totally agree... just pokin' a little fun. As for wheel size for the Lazer. When I had my Lanier 1/3 scale Extra 300 back in '97, I want to say I used 4" for that one. I think I also used 4" for the Lazer I built for a guy the same year. But don't quote me. I can't remember 100% for sure. Most...

    Sport Restoring The Laser

    Oh well, I tried. Yes, I do have an idea of what my 70 twin is going on. But whether it actually makes it or not is yet another saga. I am still waiting on covering, cowl and spats for the big Yak. I really want to get it going but am half afraid to start it until all my material shows up. Plus...

    Peak Models 32% Extra 330 SC

    That's actually really cool..... I am curious though "Dimes", is the diameter of your "baffle plates" large enough that they fit snuggly into the Teflon coupler? Or have you waved your magicians wand and in your own crafty and wizardry way created a way to keep it in place??? I would love to...

    Hangar 9 3.1M Sukhoi

    Hmm.....have I misunderstood info. Robert? I thought A123's are 6.6 volt. LiIon's are 7.2. Peak capacity at 8.4, A123's at 7.2? Wanting to know if I missed something.

    Hangar 9 3.1M Sukhoi

    Yup.... and fwiw, imo....easier to maintain. The best of all worlds. More power than A123, last longer and light in weight. I'll stay with them until "The Force" powers my planes.

    Pilot RC 122" Extra 330SC

    Definitely hope the meaning or point here was not misplaced. Absolutely Terry didn't mean for it to sound as though you shave corners. Just meant... (and I'm sure we've all seen it) how many out there will just toss in a servo, screw it down and hook up a linkage then call it good. They never...

    Pilot RC 122" Extra 330SC

    I remember about 18 years ago, I had a Goldberg Sukhoi. Powered with an O.S. Gemini 160 twin. Nylon geared servos, (cuz that's about all we had before all the new metal geared servos started becoming mainstream) The plane flew well and was lots of fun for my skill level then. Fast forward to...

    Pilot RC 122" Extra 330SC

    The most frustrating step in assembling or setting up a new plane usually is the radio system. Having a H-9 Sukhoi, I totally get your drift on what you encountered with it as well as what you're delimna is now. Personally I don't think it's possible to get the best or "perfect" setup of all...

    Hangar 9 3.1M Sukhoi

    Yup... either A123 or regulate a LiIon or Lipo. I'm sure whatever you decide, you won't be disappointed.

    Hangar 9 3.1M Sukhoi

    If the DA ignition is only good to 6 volts, then it should be regulated. If it can handle the higher voltage such as the new 3dub ignitions, DLE and like...then no, you will not need a regulator. DA should be able to answer whether it needs regulated or not.

    Hangar 9 3.1M Sukhoi

    I prefer the relions. Fully charged they also give you approximately 8.4 volts. However the fall off of LiIon is different than other batteries. I've noticed on all my Fromeco packs, the fall off is so negligible that I don't even have to worry. All HV servos are now designed to take whatever 2S...

    Pilot RC 122" Extra 330SC

    Definitely will be the 100cc Purple and orange 330 for me. Agreed...very good idea. Thanks for that Randy.

    Hangar 9 3.1M Sukhoi

    Most all 40% will use roughly 300 or a little more mah per pack per flight. Multiple this times 3 and you're at 900 to 1000 mah per pack. That puts your safety threshold down around 60 or so percent with only 10 to 20 percent in reserve. My 260 is running 2 611 ounce 7980's on the rudder, 1 7954...

    Pilot RC 122" Extra 330SC

    Oh I do like what I see! I have to imagine since the 100cc Pilot Edge construction is a carbon copy of the 50cc Pilot Edge, (only larger) then certainly the 100cc 330 Pilot would be carbon copy of the big one you're building...right?!?!? I really have been holding off ordering the 100cc 330 as a...
