    72" Extra 330SC

    Thanks to Mr Gyro, mine is well and truly back on track. All that is left on the list is: 20X10 Propeller - ordered and on its way 15mm Standoffs - ordered and on their way Maiden...

    72" Extra 330SC

    I will finish mine eventually... Today's holdup: Australia is seemingly out of electric wood 20x10 and 21x10 propellers. The closest I have found is mejzlik CF propellers at $70 a pop plus postage. Super lame.

    I usually end up using a bit of CA after an "off day"

    Spektrum Powersafe Receivers Battery Setup

    Hey, Does anyone know if I can run my 9110 in a slightly odd manor? I'm thinking of running "battery 1" as a 1300mah 2s Lipo and "Battery 2" as the BEC output of my 100A Edge ESC as a backup at say 7.4v. This is purely incase of dropping a cell or lead on the 1300mah rather than running...

    3DHS --FLY LOW-- Always OFF TOPIC

    Ouch! I snapped one side of my elevator in half flying a little too low and slow last night, nothing some thin CA and kicker couldn't fix. 48" edge with 4s 1800mah packs = epic pop-top machine. I think I'm about to make the switch to 4s permanently now.

    I just installed 7955's in mine. On 8v they are crazy fast and torquey. Now to get longer horns for a few more degrees of travel.

    Just pulled the trigger on one of these. Unloaded from the 3dhs Australia container yesterday and now on its way to me. :D

    48" Edge 540 Building, Flying, and Questions

    85mg sucks :( I now need to work out how to shoehorn more of the damn things into my plane. The 65mgs just feel like puss now. Maybe 5085 on elevator for a bit more punch

    48" Edge 540 Building, Flying, and Questions

    I pulled out the dremel and file last night and my edge is now sporting an 85mg on the rudder. I seemed to be getting quite a bit of blow back at high speed so this was my solution. If it is a vast improvement in the air, then I will do the same with the elevator.

    Nah, its how we do it at work, although we use wire braid to hold it all together there.

    48" Edge 540 Building, Flying, and Questions

    It is 4mm Sheathing from RS components. Stock code: 187-4616

    Sheathing was a test more than anything. I can happily get 3x Servo wires into it, so when I move up to something larger, it will make cable management a breeze!

    48" Edge 540 Building, Flying, and Questions

    I just did a full rebuild of my 48" Edge due to rather crap weather over the last week or so. It got a once over check for cracks, and quick CA around the motor box. The Omega 130 had a quick clean and oil of its bearings. Servos were stripped out and checked for centring, slop and...
