    The 3DRCForums -Discuss Anything Thread-

    Hey Gyro I've just been at the "new here" thread and man this place has grown. Curious (not that it matters a whole bunch) but do we have any demographics stats on age ranges here at 3DRCF? More as a "how's it going" for the hobby at large than anything else. I know our club is still in the late...

    What Nate said. Welcome all and yes the forum has had a "growth spirt" in the past month or two- awesome! I think one (there are plenty) of the best things about this forum is the fact that you can post a question and usually within minutes you are getting an answer or be directed to the right...

    Welcome Aaron, Nice story so far. Good luck with the gasser, I've really been enjoying my first. Thanks also for instructing. Enjoy the forum.

    Puts a whole new twist on "lurker" doesn't it? Eweeeeew!

    Lipo vs Li-Ion

    Especially at the cost of the TP. The Glaciers have been great and I'm looking forward to trying the yellow jackets.

    Lipo vs Li-Ion

    Earnie, I'm not being a LIPO cheerleader but am curious about "puffed". Some Lipos can "puff" slightly and be usable. Were these TPs unusable? IR extremely high with bad cells? Also sounds rare from what I've heard of, especially with TP. Were they pre-cycled?. Just curious. I've been using...

    "Props" out to Ashleigh RC Girl for the spot in March MA. Great job.

    Maybe those twins can get a "group" discount on a nose job? Don't like seeing "lost" Lasers.

    Sorry. I didn't see that this was the DLE data! RTFP!

    Matt, I assume the DLE 35 on the ES is very similar to the DA numbers. Yes?

    It may not be an Edge! But it will be awesome I'm sure.

    Speaking of mixes (what's VP power mix? A premix? How much?). Some guys up here have been using 100 LL mixed with Coleman white gas to bring the octane down to about 90-93 then do a standard oil mix. Any thoughts. Maybe a separate thread- "fuel mixes"? I used high test w/ ethanol until I...

    When setup correctly and kept clean you'd be surprised how little the gassers smell. They ain't no "slimmers" (glow). I don't think I'd store mine in the living room but its not too stinky.

    I didn't see this before. As others said and will confirm. Any of the "classic" designs, GP, Sig, etc are in a different league. The (what I like to call) "next generation" airframes; EF, 3dhs and others will provide you with performance that will eclipse the classics. It would be like Mike...

    Extreme Flight Owners Thread

    Awesome and more awesome! Seriously, the obvious for me is one is electric and the other a gasser (many electric 78s out there). I made the 78 my first gasser and I love gas- fill, flip, fly- Fun! The flying performance of both are very similar. I like the 78 more since the extra weight gives...

    Roger, excellent advice. It's hard to resist all the "candy" out there. Having a "training/ backup" airframe is nice. I have a 60" and 78" extra. However I do like breaking it up with some other frames- 60" Laser, a glider and a couple edfs. I think there is a 9x" in my future!
