    3DHS 75" EDGE 540 V2 Assembly Thread

    75" 3DHS Edge 540 V2 Assembly Thread. Never quite sure where to start one of these threads, so here we go! I'll edit this page as I go. I've already started to build this, so I'll be adding pictures quickly. My build is looking like this: Motrolfly 4330-216kv...

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

    I made a video! Flying the 84" TurboBushmaster on floats. Man that took forever.... cut, import, cut cut cut, import, slice, transition transition, cut, import. Plane might be far away, but good scenery. LOL

    Discussion The I’m going out flying thread 2018

    ^^ Exactly^^ I brought this up in a recent Drone EXPO our local FAA FSDO put on and the local sUAS operators also chimed in and said there was 3-4 pallets of drones recently sold at our Costco and yet there are only a handful of part 107 operators out in our community... So why is it model...

    You get commission from Graupner don't you... seriously... quite the spokesman. I was reading this and next thing you knew my wallet had appeared on the table with the credit card showing... Had to slap myself out of it. LOL

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

    I'm still having growing pains with my 18SZ. I was flying my edge with smoke. I have several "conditions" so I can achieve triple rates. I found out today while I was flying that from DR to TR my smoke had less output. It appears that I somehow mixed it to my rates or the condition hierarchy...

    Question? Which brand LiPo battery to buy?

    Time will tell with cycles. The Graphene LiPos, should be lighter, have a higher charge rate with less internal resistance. That's the fuss, but it seems other than lower IR, they have about the same specs. ie: my Pulse 3700 6S 65C is 5grams heavier than my Revo 3700 6S 70C. dimensions are a...

    First larger plane

    Might be worth a e-mail to Ken at Subsonic planes. He hand winds his motors. on his website he sates the 4330-400 or -435 on 6S with a 19X8 pulling 2700W, I got the 4330-216 on 12S pulling max 3200W with a 20x8 per the specs. From what I've heard 12S on a 7X" planes feels like a 60" on 6S. The...

    Question? Hitec servo compare- mini vs micro

    TurboBushmaster, it's electric. either way, I'd go mini before ever deciding to use a micro in a gas plane!

    3D Printing General Discussion

    Nice! I like the coffee straws. They do seem larger diameter than what I've seen? Do you have a pic with an antenna in it? I'd be worried about vibration, although I'm sure it's fine. Thanks for sharing! You could make a dual one, 45deg, facing aft too! Curious what the antenna entrance looks...

    First larger plane

    Why not go with a 60" size? I'm running 6s 3300-3700 in all of mine and they fly very well. Better with the 3300. Not sure what size packs you have but my run times are about 6.5min. I'm currently putting together a 75" edge from extreme flight, going to run 12S, CC80HV, Motrofly 4330-216 (I...

    Question? Hitec servo compare- mini vs micro

    I like the SV-1260MG a little better than the MKS HV737, plus it's $25 cheaper. I have 1260's in the tail of a 60" slick, and 737's in the wings, I cannot notice a difference between the two in performance personally. But I'll keep buying the 1260's instead. I'm running 8V...
