    Katana 50 from Hangar nine set up

    Hey Bill, glad to see you here asking the big newbie questions! It wasn't to long ago I was in your same position. On your quest, I would try the manufacturers (suggested reading by GYRO) recommended low settings, and set the D/R just a little higher (use position '3' as noted below for a...

    Spektrum 6210 DSMX (x2)

I'm selling these because I am making the switch to Futaba. ** Please note that the antennas are covered with a fuel line to keep them straight and a drop of...

    Discussion 3DRCF Top Picks

    Another thing, in regards to building that I couldn't live without--now--is a grabber tool. These things make pulling servo leads through small openings a cinch and are pretty inexpensive to acquire. You can find them here.

    JR 9503 to 8FG Super

    Hey guys, not looking to start a war here, but I am debating about making the jump from JR to Futaba. I currently own a JR9503X Heli version and to my dismay they have discontinued it on the Horizon Hobby Website. I guess to me this says that the radio will soon be meeting its end elsewhere as...

    ]One essential tool set that I have recently acquired are the Bohndus Pro Hold Balldriver Set with comfort grip handles. After continually trying to find the right size hex wrench to fit my application (with no indication of size) and having so many duplicates of these stored in a cup, I decided...

Within this section the editor picked out several things that makes RC flying/building easier and more efficient...

    3DHS 70" Velox

    Well, I think the motor was working perfectly (at least as good as it was going to tuned like it was), it just that the guy tuning it is a dunce when it comes to tuning!! HAHA... :scaredchair: Gary, I have no doubt you will have that thing running like a champ, and then I'll wanna buy another...

    3DHS 70" Velox

    Noob to gas question: What does the Bowman ring gain you on the DLE? Is it better compression? Dad and I were trying to understand how a different ring could improve performance.

    3DHS 70" Velox

    Gary, sorry to hear this... :sadface: I always find it so fascinating that a tiny piece can make or break (no pun intended) a build. I especially hate it when it is literally a $0.20 fuel-T! After you get that ring I hope it all comes together for you quickly!

    Airplane Power Source Switching Device?

    Hey all, I seem to remember Jim Smith outlining a small circuit that could be plugged into two power sources (two batteries) and would act as a sort of an automatic failsafe/switch. I believe it used diodes, but I cannot be sure. Have any of you seen this? I am pretty sure his post included a...

    Jr 921 dsm2 rx

    Up for sale is my JR 921 DSM2 RX. I used it on a 550 heli without issue, I recently sold my heli and have no current reason to keep a controller with all these channels. ** Please note there is a small crack in the corner of the rx case, this crack was there when I bought the unit and never...

    3DHS --FLY LOW-- Always OFF TOPIC

    Noob to gas question: Wouldn't a 32oz tank leave a lot of room for fuel to slosh around if you didn't fill it? I suppose it sloshes in any size tank, but it just seems like a lot of room to cause air bubbles?

    3DHS New Products and General Plane Info/Help for Fanatics

    Yeah the spinner back tightens down behind the prop on the motor shaft, you have to hold the screw holes center so that the prop cut-outs (these cut outs are what make these EF spinners worth the few extra bucks! Every other spinner I've had required trimming) in the plastic cone fit, you may...
