Pilot RC 107" Extra 330SC

I see you mentioned "Balun". So my question is....You can program Hi-tec servos wireless???

Also what is WYSIWYG?

Wireless would be nice, but what we've always wanted is wysiwyg (pronounced wizzy wig!). At least we have killer brushless servos, and that ain't bad.

Tavis was texting me the other day and i think he said he has over 2300oz on the each elevator and 2600oz on the rudder and 4600oz on each aileron. Lol i told him he will use 4000mah per flight

That actually makes sense on that plane where the ailerons are almost 50% of the entire wing loading. That equals 23.95 ft. lbs. that spends much of it's time just keeping the surface straight and the wing flying. Looking forward to seeing Tavis fly that thing at Nall, he's always fun to watch.

What's awesome too... is that with these brushless servos I'm using 300 mah per flight on 15 servos! Always remember, if it doesn't hover?, you must recover! haha

I have three of these Pilot RC tanks sitting here so I got curious about them. The stopper goes on kinda like a grommet and seems pretty good. The clunk is big and is chamfer'd and has a slot like DUBRO (maybe not as pretty, haha), although it doesn't have much of a "barb" per se... just a tiny recess. And, there's no barb on the brass fuel tubing end. Change the clunk to one with a barb, and solder on a barb on the fuel tubing side and looks fine, more or less. haha

Joe I have been running the stock fuel tank in my Pilot Edge for over 5 years now. The silicon/poly fuel tubing has not got hard and stays put (no barbs needed).

These new "Kuza" tanks that a lot of ARF companies now offer (and of course after market) are nice and easy to set up but I wonder how long will they hold up??? My Pilot stock tank with that tubing (came with the ARF) is for the "duration". I'm wondering if it will ever need maintenance!

Mine cracked at the lip on my 35% yak. I make my own now.

Yeah, I noticed I had to cut the line off the tubing with no barb. I couldn't pull it off, it would just stretch with a healthy he-man effort. So that stock line is pretty good, huh? Five years? Wow! Do you think these new ones have just as good of line as your five year old one?

The stopper, or the fuel line?
