3dhs 41" Edge

Mine flew amazing on the Omega 72G with 3S 1600mah packs. Perfect combo.

Thanks for the tips. What props are you guys using?

12x6

Well now I really "fixed" the esc timing issue with the motor. I was dumb and soldered a new battery connector on with reverse polarity, was dumber by not double checking it, and was dumbest by plugging a battery into it and cooking my Eflite 40 pro esc. So I'm looking at a shiny new Land Power controller from altitude hobbies on my desk that will go in once I get it soldered up.

Well, that's one way to upgrade your ESC!

Not good for my quest to make more hangar queens fly this year.

My omega 72g for this plane burned out yesterday. I had the 12x6 prop on with a 2200 mah battery and my timing was set to 20 degrees. Should I run another omega or maybe the hacker? Were my settings maybe too aggressive?

Why did you change the timing? It's usually not a good idea. 12x6 is at the very top of the range that motor can handle. I fly (or flew) mine on 11x5.5 and there was no lack of power!

Yeah, I agree with NJ...Most ESCs defaults are for a outrunner and medium timing...I use the 11x5.5 as well..Those Omega motors work well...I have a 47 Osiris I have a Torque and a Omega for...I think the Omega has more power...Almost all my planes are 3DHS and the best thing to do is follow their guidelines...I have never thought a plane needed anything after doing it that way..I know some guys fly it on lighter packs, but I like it on a 2200ma...

I'm a tinkerer I guess. I wanted to see what would happen and now I know. Lol

I used 11x5.5 for a bit too but I preferred the feel of the 12x6 if that makes sense. My LHS regularly stocks 12x6 but I always had to have them order me 11x5.5 too. So it was a convenience thing as well.
