    Question? Which brand LiPo battery to buy?

    Time will tell with cycles. The Graphene LiPos, should be lighter, have a higher charge rate with less internal resistance. That's the fuss, but it seems other than lower IR, they have about the same specs. ie: my Pulse 3700 6S 65C is 5grams heavier than my Revo 3700 6S 70C. dimensions are a...

    First larger plane

    Might be worth a e-mail to Ken at Subsonic planes. He hand winds his motors. on his website he sates the 4330-400 or -435 on 6S with a 19X8 pulling 2700W, I got the 4330-216 on 12S pulling max 3200W with a 20x8 per the specs. From what I've heard 12S on a 7X" planes feels like a 60" on 6S. The...

    Question? Hitec servo compare- mini vs micro

    TurboBushmaster, it's electric. either way, I'd go mini before ever deciding to use a micro in a gas plane!

    Nice! I like the coffee straws. They do seem larger diameter than what I've seen? Do you have a pic with an antenna in it? I'd be worried about vibration, although I'm sure it's fine. Thanks for sharing! You could make a dual one, 45deg, facing aft too! Curious what the antenna entrance looks...

    First larger plane

    Why not go with a 60" size? I'm running 6s 3300-3700 in all of mine and they fly very well. Better with the 3300. Not sure what size packs you have but my run times are about 6.5min. I'm currently putting together a 75" edge from extreme flight, going to run 12S, CC80HV, Motrofly 4330-216 (I...

    Question? Hitec servo compare- mini vs micro

    I like the SV-1260MG a little better than the MKS HV737, plus it's $25 cheaper. I have 1260's in the tail of a 60" slick, and 737's in the wings, I cannot notice a difference between the two in performance personally. But I'll keep buying the 1260's instead. I'm running 8V...

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    Well I figured out a couple things. First off that receiver has four dedicated power inputs, meaning it's not labeled as one of the channels which is a nice knowing you are not using up a channel for a battery input. Second, the receiver will operate at like 2.5v which is pretty low... I don't...

    Discussion The I’m going out flying thread 2018

    Finally took the Turbo Bushmaster out on floats. Went through 5 6S batteries. Floats make the plane tail heavy. Batts went as far forward as I could let them. Not sure if anyone else flies this setup, but I may have to put some weight in the bows. I didn’t do much 3D with it since it was very...

    I cant seem to get it tight enough. I may have enough clearance to add more material to the underside and move the screw location down. I was also thinking of making a barb/tapered spike, which might be a great alternative

    3D Printing General Discussion

    Once I figure out the best way to attach the strap, I'll "mass produce" and try to figure out some kind of price for these little guys. I'm going to get a k/w usage meter so I can figure out how much electricity it takes. My slicer software lets me add the price of the filament and how much gets...

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    From what I read it sounds like the battery ports are basically a suggested port to help distribute power evenly. Power can be added to any port. Just like Futaba. There is no failsafe set in place that I could find. So if one of your batteries shorts out it will effect the whole system unless...

    The technology keeps on getting better... and better priced. For the cost of a receiver you can buy a good 3D printer!! https://www.gearbest.com/3d-printers-3d-printer-kits/pp_1845898.html?wid=1433363#goodsDetail I have it's older bigger brother the CR-10S, but this one (Ender 3) is just a...
