    3DHS and ExtremeFlightRC to merge?

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    Thank you. I can't say they look picture perfect, (YET) but they are round and rolling the full circumference, and actually pretty close to the same altitude throughout the complete circle. Which to me, is a huge thrill. That's what we're after right? Odd as it may seem, I watched a buddy of...

    How big before multiple servos on a control?

    This is a really good thread. Lots of useful information. Snappy mentioned quite few posts back that most guys over equip their rides with servos, batteries and such. Which is not a bad thing. I suppose I do the same to some degree. I used Hitec HS 7954's in my 30% Pilot Edge. Will it ever...

    Would love to. It always seems though that no one is around to capture some of this stuff. I will try the next time I take it out. I was surprised at just how much the RF 7.5 has helped me gain an understanding of what needs to be done. Granted, I will probably never be as good as most of the...

    "WOW" is all I can say. 80 degrees Friday with about 8 mph winds. By noon, it dropped to a slight breeze. I put six rockin' flights on the 260. I have to offer my thanks once again to @Terryscustom. He forced me...lol, to get the 260 down on the deck for the awesome hover a couple of weeks ago...

    Why do you use HV and / or why don't you?

    As it was explained to me once. Take a Nimh.... Smack it as hard as you can with a sledge hammer. Nothing happens. Now take that same sledge hammer and smack a Li-Ion.... Probably a puff of smoke and that is about it. Taking the same hammer, smack the Lipo and see what happens. You'll be lucky...

    Why do you use HV and / or why don't you?

    Good thread..... Though I am not much of an authority of batteries or chemistries and such, I can honestly speak from my own experience. Putting all the horror stories of Lipo's on the side lines, I can from my own experience say I am cautious of them. I have four 5000mah 4s batteries and a...

    I am sure yours will be arriving soon. I snagged a huge chunk of it and put it in a really big airplane box and sent it your way. Open it slowly so it doesn't get all used up too soon.

    Your Opinion-This is not a "Which radio is best" thread!!!

    Got six 13 minute flights with the PAU today. By the time I shut the radio off for the last time, it was showing 95%. So glad I upgraded to the Lipo.

    Got six flights on the PAU today plus a maiden for a friend and a subsequent flight with a little nose up huckin'! That lil 27% Hangar 9 260 is just too small for me to fly. No wonder I sold it. Lol. Awesome weather and loads of fun with GREAT friends. Yup...gonna do it again tomorrow...

    The weather is so beautiful today. Sun shinning, clear blue skies. I was informed by my son that I should load my trailer and go flying. Hmm, Now what kind of a Dad would I be if I were to disappoint my son?

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    That strap is similar to the one I use. I bought a 12 foot length of 2" strap material from the local D and B here. I had "D" rings sewn onto the ends and also purchased two steel stakes that are 12" long to secure it all down. Most generally there are friends at the field when I take the big...

    You'll probably find that with cans or tuned exhaust, that 32x10 will be shreaded to fiberglass slivers. Thankfully though my 157 and 176 are doing the same with the props mounted up front, I don't have to worry about any noise restrictions. But I still throttle them back in all out level flight.

    two 7980's on the 260, two 7950's on the Sukhoi, two 7954's on the PAU. The Hemp will get the 7980's from the 260 and the 260 will get new 7950's.
