An RC Christmas Comic.

Thought this one might be fitting, given the season.

Ok, I am curious though. How many people HAVE purchased RC aircraft for their "kids" ;)

RE: e-flite mini edge 540

Well, a few posts back referred to the Edge as a flying turd.

That being the case, I finally cartwheeled my turd down the runway. Tip-stalled while trying to bring her in to land. Apparently...

RE: Hovering. Hard or easy?

Dag Nabbit! Ok, I'm officially putting hovering into the hard category, regardless of what I see here :-)

Whilst practicing my hovering, I crashed my beloved Mini Edge. What's really sad, is...

RE: 2 Shotguns vs. RC Airplane

Aw, heck. All of us have at least one plane that has about exceeded the epoxy to balsa ratio for too many previous mishaps. Think of it as a way for your retired plane to go out in a blaze of...

2 Shotguns vs. RC Airplane

I just had to run this by someone to find out if this would be a neat event, or completely irresponsible and crazy. I've gone back and forth.

I heard some guys down at the LHS talking about...

RE: Pull-Pull set-up pics

I second that. I've even had the slippage problem on much smaller-scale planes, where you wouldn't think there was enough forces to cause it. CA alway took care of it. Nice setup by the way!!

RE: Engine cut out at full throttle

Could be one of two things.

1) Your ESC will cut off your motor when the voltage drops to a certain point. Normally this functionality is there to tell you your about to run out of juice, so...

Is there any kind of commercially available smoke system available for electric planes? I have no idea how this would work, but just curious if something had been invented. Perhaps some kind of hot...

Ok, I have an e-flite mini edge 540. I am just learning 3d. I can't seem to get this to hover. I just want to know, is this simply a difficult maneuver that takes practice, or do I have something...

RE: Flaperons on Mini Edge 540?

I set up the flaperons on mine and flew it today. It seems to have slowed things down a bit, but not extremely noticeably. I didn't bounce quite as hard. Not sure if it's because of the flaps, or...

RE: e-flite mini edge 540

Scott, the mounting area on the Edge seems pretty sturdy. I've landed hard several times and have not broken this, though I have weakened the carbon fiber gear a lot. It twists and the layers...

Flaperons on Mini Edge 540?

I have an e-flite Mini Edge 540. Fun little plane, but lands at about mach 2. I'll be darned if I can set her down without a good bounce.

My radio is capable of using Flaperons, where the two...

RE: Big mistake wiring my brushless motor

Dr. Death - Thanks for the feedback. Very encouraging to think this plane may fly after all. Can I ask what gear ratio and prop you have? I want a rocket too! :-)
