    Shop Tip: Balancing your Propeller

    I use clear Krylon on the back side of the lighter blade to add weight. Or I use a Vess balance ring to balance the prop and spinner together.

    Aerobatic Setup Secrets — Pro Tips for Success.

    There should be a washer on the servo arm side so if the ball links pops off, it is still contained.

    Giant Scale Engine Considerations — Getting it right for improved performance

    There is much about this article that can be improved. Cody Wojcik and I wrote this paper a couple of years ago, and I think it covers some more details. https://www.scribd.com/presentation/169936392/Gassers-for-Newbies-8

    Rocket Powered RC — The Me-163 Komet

    How about an electric foamie version with an Estes rocket motor in the tail? Do you need a jet waiver for this?

    Hangar 9 Ultra Stick 30cc ARF

    I read somewhere, the firewall is 110mm square. So I drew up the templates for DLE-35RA and DA-50 on the 110mm square. the first one is the DA-50.

    Hangar 9 Ultra Stick 30cc ARF

    If I get one of these, I will not use CA hinges. I ended up having to replace them all with Robarts on the previous Stick, because they all ripped with only a DLE-30 for power.

    Hangar 9 Ultra Stick 30cc ARF

    Well, this does weigh 2 pounds more than the US 120 Lite that I had the DLE-30 on. And with rear mounted servos, it should balance. I was thinking of the VVRC 40 twin, but the DA-50 is basically the same weight.

    I'm thinking DA-50 if I can get one off a buddy.

    Hangar 9 Ultra Stick 30cc ARF

    I am pretty sour on DLE's. I have been helping a friend with his DLE-35. We have lapped the reed block and gasket surfaces, Bowman ring, new carb, ignition box, new Hall sensor, and it runs, but will not hand start, cold or hot. The DLE-30 I had on the previous UStick need a ignition and a carb...

    Cool AS3000 AS3X Flight Stabilization Module

    Can someone educate me on gyro's please? I understand what 6 axis means, (X,Y,Z, and rotation about the X,Y,Z axes) but in terms of flying, what do the rotation axes do? Is the early AS3X on the Visionaire a 3 axis or 6?

    New Spektrum Powersafe Receivers

    I had about 4 technical reasons why I avoid Futaba radios, and now after trying to get service on a Futaba BLS-157 servo, I will avoid everything Futaba.

    New Spektrum Powersafe Receivers

    True, Jeti has them too. I wonder why everyone doesn't have a version of it. Smart Fly does have a nice unit that Futaba guys can use to turn a 6014 Receiver into a Powersafe clone. http://smart-fly.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=60&product_id=56

    My DX-18 has been flawless.

    New Spektrum Powersafe Receivers

    Futaba really needs to come up to speed with their receivers. Each big servo can draw over 6 amps, so on a violent snap at high speed, 40 amps could be the peak draw which is not possible through a little JR connector.

    New Spektrum Powersafe Receivers

    I spoke with a tech at Horizon today, and he said they were normal antennas that should be at 90 degrees to each other. The dimensions on the instruction sheet are for the basic case sizes. The center to center spacing of the mounting holes is 67 mm and the overall length to the outside of the...

    So that the longer one can be at right angles to the short one.
