    GSN GIVE-A-WAY Hangar 9 35% Extra 300X Assembly

    For me, I don't think what I have done "overcompensation". On my Comp Arf 40% Extra, all the batteries are mounted in the motor dome. On my 36% Edge the batteries are up by the fuel tank. Not knowing where you have your battery (or batteries) are now, good planning will minimize the effect of...

    GSN GIVE-A-WAY Hangar 9 35% Extra 300X Assembly

    For what its worth: I have used cans for most of my planes over the last ten years. All of them had a cg that was farther aft than the same model built with stock mufflers. The models that had the furthest aft cg's were the Extra's. While my Edge models had an aft cg, the Extra having an already...

    IMAC PAU Extra Build 105" assembly

    With servos in the tail and cans, this isn't unusual. When I put cans in my V1 I had moved everything forward and put the batteries as far forward as possible. The ignition battery was on top of the engine box. You may not like pull-pull, but it does keep from having to add any excess weight.

    New Product Twisted Hobbys- Official REVO P3 build and review thread

    I was having a bit of a difficult time getting the small plastic tube into the clevis. I finally ended up by putting the plastic tube on the carbon rod and then pushing it into the clevis without much difficulty.

    Ignition Wiring

    I've been using the Smart Fly ignition cut off for years, about the same way you want to do it. Excellent product and Rob Richey provides great support and answers any questions you have. Give him a call, phone number is on his website.

    Prop assistance please

    I flew a Falcon 26X12 three blade this evening. Quieter than the Mejzlik 26X12N and pulls better as well. Really like this prop.

    Prop assistance please

    We have noise restrictions at our field (Emerald City Flyers in Snohomish WA) I measured the Falcon 29X9 on the ground several times and never exceeded 88db at 9 ft with an app (Sound meter by melon soft) on my Samsung Edge 6 and holding the phone with the microphone pointing at the...

    Prop assistance please

    I have a PAU 36% Edge with a 3W-110CS. It's possible for me to rip both of these, especially the Falcon 27X11. A Falcon 29x9 works okay, but still loud. I'm using a Mejzlik 29X12N and KS86 cans with standard headers. I think the 27x12 is probably a great suggestion.

    Futaba SBus Questions

    David, It would be better to use a larger battery. If you can do it, Taildragger RC or your preferred source of batteries, I personally would use something near 5000mAh. As long as you know the orientation of the plugs going into the block, behind the turtle deck is fine. I don't own a...

    Futaba SBus Questions

    David, I would run an extension from the kill switch back to the receiver, this keeps that part simple. The 4 way block at the receiver sounds good, I believe the Laser has four aileron servos. As long as you have a way of getting to the 6 way block in the tail, that's great. Another option...

    Futaba SBus Questions

    What I have done: A short female to female cable from the receiver to the 6 way block. For the tail servos, use two of the short sBus extensions and two heavy gauge extensions routed to the tail, unless the longer extensions will reach the tail with out them. The SBus receiver is connected to...

    Didn't make it to the shop because........

    Washing machine not working, get parts spend all day Saturday and part of Sunday to get it working. Still won't pull the soap from the dispenser, so it goes in the tub (LG HE machine). Dryer roller dies the next day, an hour on that. New fence put up after the storms knocked it over, so had to...

    DA170 Pipe Recommendations

    I have a DA170 in my PAU 42% Extra with RE 3's. If I were to do it again, either KS 1090's or MTW TD115K canisters. If you don't have or can't get the header length long enough, the RE3's will be peaky in a small area, which means a need for a throttle curve. RE3's are also prone to clogging...
