    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...

    S. Bus vs S. Bus2

    Thanks moose! So are they backwards compatible with the standard S.Bus gear? I have an 8FGS and want to set up an S.Bus system, but am afraid that if I buy S.Bus2 servos that it won't work...

    S. Bus vs S. Bus2

    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?

    The 3DRCForums -Discuss Anything Thread-

    I am totally with you on the "keep reading after I'm disgusted" comment and you know that a person would look like as big of a fool to make any sort of reasonable comment once that mess is started. This is the reason 3DRCFORUMS.com is the only site I have ever participated in discussions within...

    Wattaplane/Skywing 48" EPP/PLY hybrid Slick

    I dont know what the deal is. I had white nylon thumb screws in mine, landed a little less than perfect and it ripped the gear right off. I then replaced the screws with stainless steel hex bolts thinking "my 3DHS plane works fine why wouldn't this one," next landing ripped the blind nut right...

    Wattaplane/Skywing 48" EPP/PLY hybrid Slick

    I just got my wire gear from bestvaluerc.com. I am really happy with it. Looking forward to some more flying now that I can land it without an automatic crash.

    48" mxs

    Any chance something is loose in the bird? This might change both vertical and lateral CG. Is it consistent in its negative effects? What I mean is: is whatever bad consistently there or is it there and gone again? I agree that servos could be the problem, I ran HS-55's in a plane once and...

    Twisted Hobbys 32" Crack Laser!

    Hey guys I am wondering about the servos you are using in your Cracks'. Can I just use a 65hb for the 9g? What about the 4g, it doesn't seem that many reputable brands carry a servo in this class, what brand do you all reccomend? Can I use a 5g (in place of a 4g) in this plane?

    3DHS 58" Edge 540

    HAHA... Yeah... I guess that was a brain fart. I just don't understand this discrepancy, this is apparently an issue for others as well. How long are your motor extensions? Could that short distance make that much difference?

    3DHS 58" Edge 540

    Not sure here, but Dad (willfly2) and I had the same problem batt forward issue with his 58" edge. He found an idea somewhere that used a paint mixing stick. Basically you cut the paint stick to length put velcro on the stick and in the plane, you create 'shoulders' on the front of the paint...

    Hey 'wedoitall': what did you use to stiffen up the control surfaces. I have some thinner cf rod, will that work or do i need something more flat? How did you install it?
