    The 3DRCForums -Discuss Anything Thread-

    Doin good @3dmike ! Getting used to the site a bit more and more. Doesn't seem as family friendly as the other site personally. I feel like this site could use your "This thread is worthless without pics" Smilie ha ha. With that said, there are a bunch more! :banana-dance: I hope you're getting...

    Drove past it. It's just the warehouse. I bet if you called prior they'd show you around. But the unit block number 5300 door says authorized access entry only. So there I have it, out of time to call, have to catch an airplane!

    Is @Aerobeez HQ in Irwindale open to visitors? Website says M-F 9:30-4 just curious if that's just the phone line or do they have a shop?

    AJ Laser 230z 73" Build Thread

    Still thinking an intermittent failure on the receiver. So new receiver for sure. Maybe a ferrite ring around the tech aero? Or a new tech aero. Engine was running great even during the lock out, so I doubt it's a battery issue since the tech aero runs off the rx.

    H9 15cc Carbon Cub

    Thanks for the tip, unfortunately richening the low end compromises the transition, and would die. I played around with it quite a bit. maybe the top end needs to be richened so it doesn't lean out when bringing down the throttle rapidly. It's still emitting some black breakin residue, so I...

    H9 15cc Carbon Cub

    Good news, I sanded the reed block, replaced the plugs with new ones from VVRC and re-timed the engine to 28-30btdc. The engine runs much better. It will still die 96% of the time from WOT to idle, but a gradual decrease is fine. Transition is great from idle to WOT, maybe a tad on the rich...

    DX9 Centering issues due to sub-trim

    AH calibration test not self test. Glad to see that fixed it. I knew it was something along those lines.

    New products @ Tail Dragger Rc

    Anybody know what the plug gap should be for a 1/4-32 (ME8 style) spark plug?? It's for a RCGF21cc Twin. I cannot seem to find this information anywhere.

    DX9 Centering issues due to sub-trim

    huh. how much sub-trim? I always use a little as possible and make the mechanical linkage as close as reasonably possible before using any sub trim without having a programmable servo. I know that the little micros will go nuts if you use too much trim without adjusting the mechanical linkage...

    DX9 Centering issues due to sub-trim

    So when you change from D/R settings via switch (with subtrim input plugged into the radio prior) you can see the centering change on the control services?? sounds like a faulty radio to me... Does it do this on a different model?

    Yes even the best equipment can fail... That's all I've been buying as well. It's a great product.

    H9 15cc Carbon Cub

    Ok, so after another unwanted extensive ground run it transitions much smother and much more power. However it still does not want to idle. So I started looking into it... Timing was pretty retarded, maybe 36btdc. So I adjusted it to about 28-30btdc. Each cylinder is about 2-3 degrees different...

    AJ Laser 230z 73" Build Thread

    Futaba R6208SB, brand spankin new. Curious if the Tech Aero was emitting feed back causing the brief interruption. I soldered two leads (Y-Harness with two Rx plugs and on Deans batt plug) to from the battery deans connector to the receiver to share the load, so I don't think it had a bad...

    AJ Laser 230z 73" Build Thread

    So I flew my 71" slick, and a few different airplanes with no issues. I re-orientated the antennas in the Laser, range check no problem. I flew for eight minutes, was in a semi-knife edge pass (going the other direction this time) about the same distance (roughly 100-150 yards) and I got locked...
