    3DHS New Products and General Plane Info/Help for Fanatics

    I absolutely love the Extreme Flight spinners! One thing I learned the hard way: make sure you don't over tighten the spinner screws! That metal into metal with plastic in between is a bad combination when you have gorilla hands! haha!

    Cold Weather Flying Tips

    Haha, yeah those shirts are always having issues. The HK one keeps falling apart at the seams and the RCG one has a troll shaped stain that I can't get out.

    Dle 20

    DLE-20 & Fortitude Tank I am trying to determine if there is any interest out there in my DLE 20 and tank. I am selling my DLE-20 to fund a new electric airframe. I just am not that excited the airframes out there that this motor would accommodate, and the plane I had it on was way too small. I...

    WRAM 2013: 3DRCF Event Coverage and Member Experiences!

    Horton-- I have to respectfully ask for all of us here; why are there so many complaints about this (lack of response on the phones or in emails) on the forums? I have been finding many people (maybe the same) voicing the same complaint on many different forums. As a customer it makes me a bit...

    Maidened my 59" Slick yesterday with some skis on it. (picture in avatar) Motrolfly 4315-714 15x7 Xoar on 4s made me giggle (Is giggling part of the SiCkNess?). Santi8--do you have any designs for the orange slick? I would like to do some custom graphics on this plane after a few more...

    Cold Weather Flying Tips

    I am with you on this, it would be nice to have some light weight skis for each size class. I don't think there are enough of us needing skis to turn a profit for a big business. Maybe someone could find themselves making some like Reacher10 on the transmitt bags. IMO winter air is typically...

    Cold Weather Flying Tips

    Got a maiden in on my 3DHS 59" Slick. I have had the airframe finished for some time now, but have been reluctant to maiden in the snow. Everything worked out fine. I took it easy on the airframe (as mentioned--cold makes things brittle). Still was able to try hovering and some knife edge spins...

    New Leopard 5055-460kV motor. NICE!

    Any prop data on this motor yet NJ? I am thinking about pulling the trigger, but not sure if I should. I'm running 4s also and I need + or - 1400watts to get the p/w I would like... I see they're only rate around 1200, but I assume this can be pushed?

    Red 3" Extreme Flight Spinner

    It was the 3DHS 74" Edge... Just to dull of a red in comparison to the ultracoat color. I am not sure if the slick uses the same red in its scheme or not? It might be less of a deal being that the red on the slick is less prevalent.

    3DHS 74" Edge

    Thanks for the kind words SnowDog! Gapple-- you really have taken ESC cooling to a new level! That is awesome, you've created your own wind tunnel. The Castle 5 MPH airflow minimum is literally being blown away! haha!

    3DHS 74" Edge

    Ohh the excitement of this ugly brown box! :veryshocked: Although I have a digital throw meter, I opted to go with the 3DHS throw meter just to have a reference tool that I didn't need to calibrate each time while checking the throws during hinge glueing. I was really impressed with 3DHS as...

    FAQ The BEC condundrum: A guide to BEC's and Rx packs

    Thank you for the write up. Very informative. I especially like how you compare and contrast. It might also be fun to see how you compare various types of RX packs, like lipo, life etc..
