    Article: 65 Vyper Review

    yeah, i had a pair of feather merchant power supplies, and after less than a full season of use one of the power supplies (there were two in series) burnt up, and the other was massively struggling. I just got fed up with it and asked around and apparently i wasnt the only one that happened to...

    65 Vyper Review (Build & Flight) 65 Vyper Review and highlights of build Hey guys! The 65 vyper is one of the most unique aircraft, regardless of company. It can draw straight lines comparable to pattern planes and 40% IMAC airframes, yet still throw down low and slow with the best of them...

    Discussion subtrim for pattern plane

    thats not it at all. actually had a buddy that had a 68 velox that he thought had some serious thrust issues and added a couple degrees of thrust in it. me and another friend flew it and said it had something funky wrong with it....long story short, took out the shims, adjusted the CG, and it...

    Discussion subtrim for pattern plane

    i never touch any thrustlines on any 3dhs plane...along with some other manufacturers, they are jig built and the thrust line cant be off. ive found its usually CG that causes those problems, not thrust line.

    Discussion subtrim for pattern plane

    yes sir. angle meter is a valuable tool to have regardless. the 62 is a sweet plane, i really miss mine. hopefully my new 65 vyper will fulfill my non-competition straight line drawing need. let me know if you have any questions, but its pretty straight forward. equal throw in both directions...

    Question? iCharger 306b vs. 3010b question

    just an FYI, charging on deep cycles will only give you a few charges. i believe i had an old one my dad gave me that would only charge my 6s5000's at 1c 3 times. I am assuming a fresh one would give you more

    Question? iCharger 306b vs. 3010b question

    to answer your first question, what are you more worried about? convenience or charging fast? if you are worried about convenience, i would say get the deep cycle. you do have to worry about keeping it charged, but its easier and simpler to setup and use quickly. If you are worried about...
