    Twisted Hobbys Crack Laser, with a few new build tips

    After 50+ flights now and only one bend prop. (case of too lowness) I have to say that this is one amazing aircraft. My favorite new thing to do is knife edge loop figure eights which are just too easy to accomplish. Most other planes want to come out of the knife on the downside of the knife...

    Twisted Hobbys Crack Laser, with a few new build tips

    I couldn't agree more. I was always used to flying Futaba with larger planes and the most I'd ever used was 15%, just to take the 'nervousness' out of my sticks. I guess I got used to very slight movements to achieve the effects I wanted. Now, using the recommended 60% or so on high rates...

    New Here? Introduce yourself!

    Thanks Mike, I've been flying since '85 and have been very involved in R/C in the past. I've been duped into being President of flying clubs even :p Maybe everyone should do that once in their lives, maybe not... I fly because I totally enjoy it and have ALWAYS pushed the hobby. My...

    Twisted Hobbys Crack Laser, with a few new build tips

    AK, I'm wondering, based on the image I saw in a previous post, what motor are you running? Reason I ask, and maybe because I have the model '17', heh, my Outrunner maybe with my ESC and receiver up further.. I dunno, but if I put my 350 battery where yours is the CG would be very far back for...

    Twisted Hobbys Crack Laser, with a few new build tips

    I finished mine last night and maiden voyaged it today... With about 6 knots of gust in a pretty gentle 3-4 knot breeze it flew very well. I flew four packs out, the only four I have and I'm recharging now. I measured back 210mm from the front for CG and have the balance just a tad forward of...

    Twisted Hobbys Crack Laser, with a few new build tips

    Thanks, would you opt. to use the ABS (white Plastic) control rod guides or the carbon ones? I can't imagine it would make that much of a difference though with guides...

    Twisted Hobbys Crack Laser, with a few new build tips

    I'm in the middle of the build and I have noticed that the pushrod guides and the control horns are now plastic (I'm guessing ABS) and there is a fiberglass motor mount included now. I understand these are upgrades. My question is, I purchased the carbon fiber upgrade kit. Does anyone know if...

    Article: E-Flite UMX AS3Xtra by rcdude07

    I like mine, I really like the colors, but it's a bit stiff and I DO NOT like the AS3X on all the time. I have it programmed to my 3 position flap switch and like the review, I fly in the 'normal AS3X mode but that is the 'middle' flap position on my DX7s. My flap alarm sounds when I turn the...
