    Aerobeez 70″ Slick PRO Step By Step Build Guide

    Go Hitec servos!! You won't regret it! As far as my setup entails inside of the transmitter: Triple Rates: 50, 70, 100% Expo: 10, 30, 50% I rarely ever go to medium or low rates, I am always on high rates. I have low rates in the event I feel IMACish or sport flying. Some photos...

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    @Spats down, Spats down!!! OK not really :laughing:A club member landed from an unfamiliar direction and managed to navigate the airplane into the barrier. It was a 30CC Katana I think. Really loving this 70" Aerobeez Slick. Just tons of fun, so smooth and crisp.

    15,000w on a 70" Slick?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! Are you trying to reach mach 14?? --------- As an update, I have successfully installed a depron baffle on the port side of the cowl. Just one, the starboard side needs to have airflow going directly to the ESC. This should reduce temps by about...

    Aerobeez 70″ Slick PRO Step By Step Build Guide

    The Hackers can safely run up to about 150*F before damage could start to occur, so 120*F on an 80*F day with no baffling and after hard flying is totally reasonable right now. About to go out and fit some Depron baffles :cool:

    Aerobeez 70″ Slick PRO Step By Step Build Guide

    ESC is getting to the low 90's, and the motor is about 120 after some hard flying. If I can keep the temps around 100*F for the motor and under 90*F for the ESC I think she'll be fantastic, especially in the warm So Cali weather...

    Aerobeez 70″ Slick PRO Step By Step Build Guide

    Got my spinner!!!!! Looks like I'll need to shorten my standoffs about 1/8". Also thinking about making a baffle on one side of the cowl to direct airflow directly over the motor.

    Aerobeez 70″ Slick PRO Step By Step Build Guide

    ^That's where I would aim. Did some more flying today. Got it just about tweaked to where I like it, though I need to adjust the right thrust. It pulls to the left a little under WOT. Straight as an arrow without power. I did something that I have no idea what it was so I'll just call it a...

    Aerobeez 70″ Slick PRO Step By Step Build Guide

    I concur as well. As far as 6S vs 12S power: I mean, the 6S setup has a lot of guts already, 12S would be a rocketship. I have no problem going full throttle right into a violent crankshaft and getting the airplane to spin around 5-6 times. With more power/speed I'd imagine you might run...

    New Product Hitec Announcesthe X2 AC Plus - AC/DC Multi Charger with WIFI Option!!!

    Just to clarify: The charger has a built in 10 amp AC power supply that can supply UP to 100 watts of charging power for BOTH channels. With the sharing function, this means you can have 70 watts on one channel and 30 on the other, or 50 watts on both, or 80 on one and 20 on the other, or all...

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

    I see Santiago has finally come to the fun side!! Hitec all the way!! What servos are you guys using?

    Aerobeez 70″ Slick PRO Step By Step Build Guide

    As long as the weight is the sameish, there won't be any differences. Which makes me wonder why go 12s in the first place? Unless you have an abundance of smaller 6s packs.. Generally when people run a higher cell count it is to make more power. There isn't really another legitimate reason...

    Strip lights from Hobby King. Cheap and readily available, plus they have a sticky backing that sticks to any surface.

    Aerobeez 70″ Slick PRO Step By Step Build Guide

    My input is 6S is plenty for this airplane. It accelerates just as fast as any other 3D airplane does, pulls right out of a hover with authority, and gives you good power when you're down low on the deck. 8s is pushing it and anything bigger is just way overkill IMO. Too much power when you're...
