    Help - Need name of manufacturer

    I don't think it's an Aeroworks, their trim scheme is slightly different.

    Not so sure this airplane can handle more than a 120! :oblong::big-grin:

    New Build Help

    Well you also have to remember that 3D airplanes are also VERY draggy- they're not designed for speed, they have a lot of surface area all over the airplane which creates drag. If it's all out speed you're looking for then an EDF jet would better suite your needs.

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    It's probably Secraft, not 100% though. Bought the airplane 2nd hand. I like the quietness of the cans but I feel the engine has more in it without the cans. I'll keep them on until something goes wrong with them.

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    Broken header from this weekends shenanigans, so a new one was in order. Happened to have the exact header I needed, so in it went. Boy was there a lot of thick black slime all around the broken joint :confused: Next time a header breaks, out come the cans, and in goes a set of mufflers. In...

    I ran the A60-18L with a Xoar 24x12 PJN and 12s 5000 30C packs in my 50cc Yak 54 and it hauled that airplane around with authority. It's probably going to be way overkill and a lot of weight for a 30cc airplane though, the motor alone weighs 2lb- coupled with the mount and the ESC you need...

    Battery Charger Recommendation

    That's because it has an oilite bushing inside. The oil is impregnated into it and as it heats up from use, it draws the oil out. You can put a drop of 3 in 1 household oil in the fan bushing if you want to quiet it up.

    The 3DRCForums -Discuss Anything Thread-

    It'll be just as effective as a terrorist going to shoot up a building full of people. We already have laws to prohibit it, even register the firearms, but it doesn't stop them. More political BS being injected into everyone's daily lives. Just when I thought the hobby was my escape, I get...

    FAA Announces their rules for radio controlled aircraft

    Same here, congress already passed a law years ago that says the FAA has no authority over recreational model aircraft.
