Very nice that you were able to keep your AJ so light. I like your approach to the split elevator with using two servos. I'd be interested in knowing what the watt meter results were, if you did use one. Also what size prop do you run? Let us know how your flight goes and feel free to post some photos. That would be nice.

On another note, I had the chance to fly the ShokJet, TBM's trainer. The airplane is a 'no-brainer', easy access to all the internals. Great chance to learn how to work a jet. The airplane it self is easy, but helpfull learning the throttle response on these whining things! You will be SHOKED at how easy it is to fly.!
http://troybuiltmodels.com/ look at the R&D page!



it wasn't bad enough that they took the design
then he wants to dig at me

these people are scum

never had an original idea, never will, bottom feeders pure and simple

Oops, sorry forgot to add that in. I'm running a 14X7 APC. Watt meter? Watts that? Just kidding, actually I don't have one. Maybe I can borrow a friends. Haven't had a chance to fly anymore, it's been windy, raining, and snowing. Maybe this weekend.

If you had as much fun at the Huck fest with Mad Max as I did with him at the Joe Nall, I'm sure that it will take you a week or more to get back to normal! Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.....................Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!! I sure wish that I could have been there with you guys......maybe next year. Thanks for the great photos of the event and your FG AJ's sure look fantastic! I'll be working on the testing of various battery/prop combinations in the next few days and will post the results. I've got my 3S & 4S Flight Power packs all ready for the task. I did receive one 4S EVO 30 and since that is their new super discharge pack, I can't wait to get the results. Having been at the Huck Fest, do you have any new combo
suggestions for me to try? If so, just let me know and remember that I have the Hacker A30-10XL motor with the X-55 ESC on the AJ. Take care.

I will be trying the 4S 2500 Evo-Lite. Steve thinks it will hold a higher voltage deeper into he discharge cycle than the 25's/30's.
When are you going to start posting you results??

It will be VERY hard to keep that box closed until I finished moving into my new house (half December)!

It's nice for me to know that someone out there thinks that I am OK! Thank you for SHARING! Ya see, most of the people out there, in the Remote Control arena that know me, are not quite sure that I am all there............if you know what I mean. Sometimes, I have to confess, I
would tend to agree with them. For example this photo; and maybe this video; see post #187

Status: offline 		Was looking for servo suggestions for AJ. I was thinking 65-hg's, for aileron, and two 65-hg's for elevator, and then 81-hg for rudder. OK? or should I use more 81's.

I am going with a hacker A30-10XL and wondering about the battery. I am leaning towards polyquest 3S 3700's. But what about 4S? Brands?

If I go with 4S I will need a BEC unless I get the new hacker controller, but are they on sale yet?

Thanks in advance for your help.

PS. Need to set it up for 3D.
