    Knife Edge tips.

    I wonder if you will make the same argument about expo? Radio induced false sense of flying? Why not have 60 degree throws and have everything linear. Train the thumbs, no cheating! I don't think the old radios had the sort of expo we have now? I wonder if they built in expo in linkages...

    My T-28 will look like you flying Bigfoot after about 2 minutes! I did mod one with full ailerons, maxed out to the max everything else. You could probably work with that one. But lost it when a servo locked up.

    Knife Edge tips.

    So if this works for beta flight, why not alpha flight? throw the trims out of wack where you have to hold up elevator, right aileron, and some rudder just to keep it straight and level. To me KE mixing/trimming is the same as trimming for level flight. If I'm flying level and the...

    What motor would you use in a 50cc size?

    dle55 with a 23a working out fine in my 87. About $350 complete from tower with discounts. I was angling toward a da60 until I flew an 87 with a 55 at Shreveport. Da60 was going to be about $750 complete. The 55 bolted right up. Maybe Ray will let me fly his one day!

    Knife Edge tips.

    Then when you get into KE circles, figure 8's ,etc, when the plane is across the field from you, belly at you, lay it over a bit to make it easier to see(reflection off the belly) and easier to control with the elevator. When I say lay it over the top wing tip will be a point more away...

    Discussion Wow, a plane can do that?

    Plenty of.....how much, did you build it, where can I get it, can i fly it from my club guys(circle flyers).....what kind of gyro are you using to hover. Looks like it's hard to control. Best one recently(a nice one) I did a couple quick flights with the 74 at a local park and there...

    Dual rates

    Welcome shoe! I've had a few of those and if you are just starting out stick with a low rate and no expo. You'll probably quickly move to high rates(high rates on a T-28 are not the same as high rates on an 87" Extra). Still at high rates you really don't "need" expo. But if you...

    I don't think it was out of line however I didn't look up the comment. It was a little rough during the sale IMO. To much chatter, people editing a post to change it, asking Noll "did I win item?" Sure it's an open thread but during a garage sale that needs to be the focus...not what's the...
