    3DHS Planes Picture Thread

    I love my TC. If it wasn't for that front seat that folds flat, I'd never be able to haul that 89. Next time I load up I'll take a pic of it.

    3DHS Planes Picture Thread

    I went in and cropped the pic. I remember when I thought my 51 Slick was big. lol And a little size reference. Can you believe this fits in my Scion TC.

    3DHS Planes Picture Thread

    What's the size limit for pics? I tried to upload one that was 9.13MB, but the site says it's too big.

    3dhs 89 slick

    Oh No! I hope it all fixes up easily and none of your electronics are bad. Does that happen enough that someone brings a raft with them to the field?

    Help! How can I get rid of hinge binding?

    Yeah it's dual ball links. I even upgraded the stock links, which were a little sticky, to dubro heavy duty ball links.

    Help! How can I get rid of hinge binding?

    I recently acquired a used FB 3DHS 89 slick. I've gotten everything set-up, and have had about 5 flights on it so far. The first two were a bit hairy, as I lost a wheel each time. Both were pretty successful though, you can check out the 89 slick thread for more info. But on to my question...

    3dhs 89 slick

    Funny thing was this was the first maiden I've had where wasn't terribly nervous. No shaking or anything. lol Untill that wheel came off. Started to get a little nervous then. If it wasn't such a great airplane, virtually lands itself, it could have been a VERY different story.

    3dhs 89 slick

    Got to maiden my slick this weekend. All went pretty well, except for the landing. Since this was a used plane, I didn't check the wheels. They looked fairly well worn. On my first low pass, about 5 ft up, my right side wheel comes off and goes bouncing down the runway. Luckily I had a...

    Problem with AR9110?

    Yes. The ignition is running off a NiMh pack. And is hooked up to the receiver via an optikill system.

    Problem with AR9110?

    Hello all, Last night me and A buddy started up my 3DHS 89 slick for the first time. All went fairly well getting the DA60 running good. But had an oddity happening with my receiver. The AR9110 has 3 satellites that must be hooked up in order to work. All 3 were hooked up and had...

    3dhs 89 slick

    My apologies on the late reply. I got really busy the last few days. Here are some pics of my set-up. The mount I made is the exact width of the DA 60. On the upper right screw I had to swap out the M3 washer with a 4-40 washer cause it was just a fraction smaller on the OD. When...

    3dhs 89 slick

    Craig, I will be finishing up my DA60 install tonight. The 60 does come with some laser cut plywood spacers. (or atleast it came with mine from TroyBuiltModels). I unfortunately have mixed them together with the ones I got from the planes previous owner. I can try to figure out which are...

    3dhs 89 slick

    Oh yeah... What prop do you all think I should get? I was thinking a 23x8 at least for the breakin. Any recommendations?

    3dhs 89 slick

    Thanks for the advice guys. Got most everything ordered last night. Only thing I think I'm missing is a prop. Went with the 7955's, 5665 for throttle, and the DA60. Hope to have it running by next weekend. Not much will get done with it this week, last week before time falls back 1hr. So I...

    3dhs 89 slick

    Well, I've been flying harder and harder lately, especially my 51 slick. Sometimes it feels like I'm TOO comfortable and almost doink it. But I'm sure the shaking knees for the first handful of flights with this plane it will be pretty tame. When buying multiples. It's a little cheaper from...

    3dhs 89 slick

    Well I picked up a used FB 89 today. And I need to start acquiring servos, a DA60, and a few other odds and ends before it can take flight. After looking for some HS-7955TG's, I found some HS-7954SH's. To me it looks like the only difference between the two is the 54's have steel gears and...

    What motor would you use in a 50cc size?

    Wow that does look interesting. Especially the price and the try it for 30days or it's free. And it's a go for the FB 89 slick, yay!:bouncy: Driving to h-town to pick it up tomorrow. I would definitely give that motor a try if I've ever had any experience with gas motors. But since this...

    What motor would you use in a 50cc size?

    Hmm.. Thanks for the opinions. I was leaning towards the DA. Maybe I'll look at the DLE55 when I start buying anything.

    Anyone out there have a 73" Pilot RC YAK54

    Nearly all the gas-holes (lol, just a bit of ribbin) at the renegade field I frequent, fly Pilot airframes. And for some reason will only fly Pilot airframes, I think they are scared to try anything else. There's 3 73" Yak 54's and one 73" extra, and I think they are all running DLE30's. Next...
