    Fromeco Badger Switch

    So I bought my 71" Slick a new switch and battery pack from Fromeco, and have been very excited to put the pair to work. I do have a couple of questions for those of you using the Badger. Can/should I leave my battery plugged into the switch? I assume this is a "no no" but it seems like it...

    Futaba S. Bus (S. Bus 2) Setup question.

    Alright, so these questions may have been covered in other forums or websites, or may also be elementary in nature, but what I'm looking for is a sort of Futaba S.Bus setup discussion that can be a reference for not only me, but others in regards to setting up multiple servos per...

    Hey guys: Just wondering what the differences are between S.Bus and S.Bus2? Can I use an S.Bus2 servo on an gen 1 S.Bus setup or do I need to have the newest stuff for it to work properly?

    Hitec Servos Burning or seizing on new Futaba setup.

    Hey guys: I just burnt up my 3rd Hitec servo on the new Futaba RX's in two different airplanes. I have made sure that the Futaba receivers were not set to 'High Speed' mode, and there was no indication of buzzing or jittering suggesting they were in this HS mode and end points were set so no...

    JR 9503 to 8FG Super

    Hey guys, not looking to start a war here, but I am debating about making the jump from JR to Futaba. I currently own a JR9503X Heli version and to my dismay they have discontinued it on the Horizon Hobby Website. I guess to me this says that the radio will soon be meeting its end elsewhere as...

    Airplane Power Source Switching Device?

    Hey all, I seem to remember Jim Smith outlining a small circuit that could be plugged into two power sources (two batteries) and would act as a sort of an automatic failsafe/switch. I believe it used diodes, but I cannot be sure. Have any of you seen this? I am pretty sure his post included a...

    3DHS 74" Edge

    Ohh the excitement of this ugly brown box! :veryshocked: Although I have a digital throw meter, I opted to go with the 3DHS throw meter just to have a reference tool that I didn't need to calibrate each time while checking the throws during hinge glueing. I was really impressed with 3DHS as...

    Red 3" Extreme Flight Spinner

    I am looking to sell my red EF 3" spinner. This is brand new, never been mounted. I just received the spinner and the color is just not quite a match for my plane, so I decided to go black. My loss is your gain. I tore it out of the package, but the installation screws and spacers are still NIP...
