    108 extra 330 lt 3dhs

    Does anyone have any experience with both planes to compare it to the EF 104 extra?

    The 3DRCForums -Discuss Anything Thread-

    I agree 100%! The issue we are facing now is that there are some individuals that don't have that basic foundation of morality ingrained in them. Since our founding principles were based on the assumption of some measure of individual morality, when people don't have that morality ingrained in...

    What's Up With 3DHS??

    The main thing that I don't understand is service. Most people are willing to pay for good service. So why would you not raise your prices 10% across the board and hire someone to answer the phone and pack a box every once in a while? I'm sure the service would more than justify the 10% in...

    What's Up With 3DHS??

    I've owned my own business for over 22 years. You have some very valid points.

    3DHS 70" Velox

    Actually, it was probably a cheap lesson compared to what it could have been. Changing gears - On the one flight we did get where he pushed it, I was almost surprised how well it flew from a lot of perspectives. Given that the velox is not exactly the most popular and latest and greatest...

    3DHS 70" Velox

    So I'm assuming that you guys have enough experience with the motrolfly 4325-425 that heat will not be as much of an issue? (Obviously it has a higher amp rating)

    3DHS 70" Velox

    So my follow up question would be why 3dhs would recommend a motor/prop combo that is 200-450 watts above the rating of the motor?

    3DHS 70" Velox

    NJSwede, I'm curious, what figures do you get when you plug in the 3dhs recommended A50-16S 365kv with an 18x8 or 18x10? Thanks again!

    3DHS 70" Velox

    I didn't have a temp gun with me at the field, but I wouldn't doubt the 244 degrees. :-) I had an inline watt meter that I was planning on installing after the basic setup on the maiden. Looks like I definitely got the kart before the horse.

    3DHS 70" Velox

    Well, I have a motrolfly on 4325 425kv on the way. Should have listened to begin with :-) How much different is the mounting pattern?

    3DHS 70" Velox

    3dhs recommends the Hacker A50-16S with an 18x10 so I didn't think the wattage would be that far off, even though my motor is a 425kv vs the recommended 365kv with the 18x10.

    3DHS 70" Velox

    HELP! Ok guys, we maidened the 70 Velox today and it was kind of a good news, bad news thing. Setup is with a Graupner MZ24 radio, Hobbywing 100A Platinum V3 ESC, Kingmax servos, 19x8 Xoar prop, and Hacker A50 14S V3 motor with the servos in the tail to balance it out instead of using the pull...

    Servo torque help?

    Hey guys - 2 questions. First, when a manufacturer recommends a certain minimum torque rating for a control surface on their plane, I'm assuming that they are talking about actual torque applied to the surface and not just rated servo torque? For example, if they quote a required 200 oz/in...

    3DHS 70" Velox

    :-) I guess I got a pretty good deal with mine since I got it with receiver included and a nice wing bag for less than half that!

    3DHS 70" Velox

    Well, I'm glad I decided on electric for the velox as I just got a great deal on an extreme flight 88" extra 300. It has a dl50 in it with hitec 7955tg's all around. So the extra will help to scratch my gas itch. :-)

    3DHS 70" Velox

    One more question guys - ( well, at least one more. I'm sure I can come up with more in the future. :-) ) I've got everything together and ready to mount electronics, but I haven't cut any cooling holes in the bottom of the fuse. I live in Virginia where it can get to 100 degrees at times...

    3DHS 70" Velox

    Well guys, it looks like it's going to be electric. I think we're going to go with the Hacker A50-14S V3 with a Hobby Wing Platinum Pro 100A V3 esc. We've had very good results with Hobby Wing in Helis and I want to try it out in our planes. Im going to use our Kingmax CLS 6227 HV servos that...
