    2014 Magnolia Arkansas Fy-Low-In Pics and coverage- Saturday!

    Great job on the coverage Sleepy! Just wish weather.com wouldn't have shown 90% chance of rain ALL DAY Saturday morning, I would have drove down for the day. Oh well, got some flying in at our field because the weather.com forecast was wrong here also! Turned out to be a really nice day.

    Booma RC Intellimatch servo matching

    I second this! One awesome person to work with. I ordered my stuff in the afternoon and had a shipping notification later that evening! He communicated everything that was going on, we had a Paypal hiccup, go figure :) I will definitely use vital-rc.com for future purchases.

    Booma RC Intellimatch servo matching

    I just sent BoomaRC an email letting them know about the site and that people are asking questions on configuration and it would be good to hear from the company that developed the product.

    Booma RC Intellimatch servo matching

    I was looking through the installation instructions and they do recommend getting the mechanical side as close as possible before installing the matchboxes. I believe I saw somewhere in the instructions that there was a 5%+- tolerance, which is a pretty good bit of tolerance. We shall see what...

    Booma RC Intellimatch servo matching

    Thanks for the info jaybird. Mine will be here today and will be doing the install tonight unless the weather holds out, then I will be taking my daughter to see Foreigner :) It is an outdoor venue and at this time we have about 50% chance of T-storms tonight.

    Good prop drill bit

    I use the Dewalt titanium bits with the drill jig and a drill press. I drill from the back side first, then drill from the front side just to make sure everything is true. Every now and then I will feel a little bit of pressure on the redrill from the front side, but not very often. Also, make...

    Need some help

    Went out last night for a couple of test flights. CG is about as close to dead on as it can get. 45 degree upline inverted has a very slight drop of the nose. The lateral balance was not providing consistent results. The was some gusty winds and one time it would be wings level the next it would...

    Booma RC Intellimatch servo matching

    I will be replacing JR matchboxes in a 3 servo per wing setup. I will hook up my quad current meter before pulling the old boxes out a video going from full throw to full throw and then compare it to the new setup the same way. If it works as advertised it should be greatly reduced current draw...

    Need some help

    It has been hotter than haties here so I have been working on fine tuning the trim on the plane. Found that one of the elevators was not throwing the same as the other :( I have that straightened out now :) Will be testing that out in the next day or two to see if that helped the fading away...

    Which Radio System Is Best?

    First radio was an FM Airtronics, then had some Hitech 4 channel radios, then a Futaba 7 channel 72mhz and when I went to 2.4 I went back to Airtronics for the programming simplicity and have had both the RDS 8000 and the 10G. The 10G is an awesome radio in my books. Easier to program then the...

    Booma RC Intellimatch servo matching

    Just wondering if anyone has or is currently using the auto matching match boxes from BoomaRC? I have 2 on their way for my 42% and if they work as advertised I should get some more battery life and less wear and tear on the servo gears. If nobody is using them, I will try to shoot a...

    Smaller trailers for 40% + sized Giants!

    Nice setup! I would love to do something like that and pull it with our Terrain, but my trailer also doubles for transporting my lawnmower and storage for my planes :) I have a 42% Edge, 36% Edge, 70" Yak and a 48" Edge, so the trailer works great to keep the planes in when I need to use my...
