    Aerobeez 64" 20% Scale Electric Conversion MXS-R At Joe Nall 2015

    A buddy of mine runs a DA70 on his 91" EF Extra and he used a 32oz tank. Still flies real light, but he can get half an hour out of it mostly at WOT. Would be an awesome setup for a 93" Extra (or a 91" Slick... hint hint :popcorn: ).

    Aerobeez 70″ Slick PRO Step By Step Build Guide

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nhbSeNE7Lg&feature=youtu.be Windy day, about 15 down the runway! Doesn't really bother me though, just more fun to play in. Comfortably getting 6 minutes of hucking in. May extend that to 6:30 since my packs are coming down around 3.78v/cell.

    Got 5 solid flights in today with the 70" Slick. Really really liking this airplane. Settles down into rock solid harriers so nicely.

    Aerobeez 70″ Slick PRO Step By Step Build Guide

    Definitely pro's at derailing threads ;) I flew the Slick today with the new Thunder Power pack. I only managed 2 flights on it, and TP advises not going below ~50% for the first handful of flights, but already I can tell this pack is going to be killer. It had so much power in the air, and...

    Aerobeez 70″ Slick PRO Step By Step Build Guide

    Yes, but I used the longer HD arms. It turned out to be plenty for me with the throws turned up a bit on all of the servos. I may fit a 3" aluminum arm onto the rudder and I may fit Dubro long HD arms to the ailerons but otherwise the stock long HD arms work great. The HD arms are the thicker...

    Mini How-To Proper LiPo battery disposal thread

    You're very welcome :thumbup: Glad to share my wealth of knowledge anytime. To further expand upon brine solution discharging- it can work if you submerse just the main leads of the pack into the solution as it will act like a resistor and slowly discharge the pack. But the NiMH discharger...

    Mini How-To Proper LiPo battery disposal thread

    Hi all! I figured I would make a little writeup on the proper and safe disposal of a damaged or dated LiPo battery. But first, let me clear some confusion here: Salt Water Method: This method has been passed around for a long time, ever since the first lipo packs hit the market for hobby...

    Need to get back down in my shop and keep tidying it up before someone else puts more junk down there :eek: Thinking about re-doing my shelving system, as in removing them from their current location and fitting them elsewhere since they are placed ontop of a counter top, occupying valuable...

    Aerobeez 70″ Slick PRO Step By Step Build Guide

    Not sure if I mentioned this earlier but it's a tip I like to use when I have to make clean cutouts for servos or cables, and it's a method I used on the Slick throughout the build. It's why my Slick looks so slick ;) First, you need to have an adjustable soldering iron, I have a Hakko FX888D...

    Parallel Charging Pros and Cons

    Yes I've had my iCharger long before I worked for Hitec. It's a reliable charger, don't see the need to get rid of it right now. I've seen both fail. When stuff comes from China, anything can happen. I wonder what kind of current figures my power supplies would draw if I were to run my...

    Servo problem

    Yes. When an ESC loses sync with the motor, it can make all kinds of noises. The loud knocking noise could be the ESC sending a signal to the motor just a fraction of a second before the motor gets to the right point so it actually forces the motor to slow for a split second. Double checking...
