    3DHS Planes Picture Thread

    Nice job Ashleigh. Did you ad much weight? I found that after a similar repair on a 48 MXS the plane actually liked the added weight. Good luck. Hope it has a long second life.

    Welcome Duluth! You are definitely entering into indoor flying season. Check out the "Marketplace" link from the home page for items for sale. Just checked out some f3p competitions on YouTube! I wasn't familiar. Looks like indoor freestyle. Mainly lite weight EPP and depron. Maybe you could...

    Wow! Great before and after. I bowed out and got a new fuse for my Extra that nosed in from 50' after a solder joint went in the ESC! Doo. Great job girl!

    Changing the subject. What do any I you do for indoor flying? I'm trying to get into my daughters school and talking to AMA about a student club, anyone done that? Thanks

    IMAC learning and support using flight videos

    Great question and sorry we weren't more clear. Basically what you want to set up (and it depends on your flying style, plane, Tx and feel so I can't give you specific numbers) is that you are not over controlling and working too hard to maneuver the plane. So start with the basic setup (which...

    Well it's 31 and calm at home. I would be out breaking in my "Transmit" for the season. But this boy has three layovers in "New York City". Good news is the 60" extra should be resurrected soon. All parts on the way. I think the yellow skis will be going on the yellow n blue Laser this year...

    Pretty much ditto here. Once you guys who don't vary rates and expo during a flight try it you will see how nice and controlled your flying will become. The fine tuning takes some time but its worth it. Once complete on one plane you can use that as a jumping off point for the others.

    Ditto. I'm all for multi-purposing as much as possible. I agree with Scott on a little practice of all your chosen disciplines each flight. Three position flight mode switches are great for multi use planes.

    I don't know why THAT slipped my mind! I've been "selling" the Laser to everyone I know. Absolutely the 60" Laser will be a fantastic airframe for all around and IMAC and with the bigger batt the iMac "rounds" will be no issue at all. You must get 10+ mins of iMac flying out of the 5000! I guess...

    IMAC learning and support using flight videos

    Absolutely. This should give you a starting point. Low rates to a "hucker" are "insane rates" to an IMAC pilot. Three position rate switches are a great help here. Of course rates and expo and gimbal tension are all very personal things. But a general start that I have found to help is setting...

    Precision Flight Tutorials Episode 6!

    Brian when you do cover any spins and since we have an IMAC type the thread now please emphasize the "clean break" and not "helping" the spin. Seems like a simple maneuver but it is easy to zero! Just like the snaps! Thanks for the heads up on the computer power and recording. My laptop...

    Thanks Brian. Snowdog started a great thread at a good time IMO. I've seen it really work for myself and others in my short two years back in the hobby. Really having fun with IMac and XA. Great motivators up here in the Northeast.
