RE: Looking for a speedster

I have two Douglas Aviation Breezes. I've flown one extensively, as recently as last weekend. The other is 95% complete (install ailerons, install elevator pushrod); I'm somewhat hesitant to let go...

RE: Seagull Models EP Extra 300

It actually sounds like too much up-thrust, not too much down-thrust. Is it possible that you glued the motor mount box to the firewall upside down? I think the motor should point a little down and...

RE: Help identify this plane

I'll have to take that last one back. Looks like the specs I found were for the 1/5th Pica kit, and, judging from some other pics on the net, this probably is the Pica 1/6th kit.

Thanks guys.

RE: Help identify this plane

I'm not too sure about this being the Cox ARF or Pica kit. The only specs I could find show the wingspan of the Cox T-28 as 78.75".

Also, the wing and fuse are built up balsa and lite-ply. ...

RE: GLOW or Electric debate.....Who won?

You should look into a sim called Clearview. You can download it and evaluate it via the free 2hour trial period, and the license (with free lifetime upgrades!) is only $40. You still have to buy a...

RE: LiPo battery size => flight duration?

If your just looking for additional flight duration like the thread title says, don't increase the voltage. Use a 3s battery larger than 1300mAh, such as a 3s 1500mAh or a 3s 1800mAh lipo. Heck...

RE: Seagull Models EP Extra 300

Installing the 35-36-1200 added an ounce to my AUW, and it's now at 33oz. I'm currently using an APC 10x5E propeller, and it uses about 350 watts of power from a Thunder Power Extreme 2070 11.1V...

RE: Seagull Models EP Extra 300

I tried a Scorpion 3008-28 in mine and it worked very well. Almost identical performance to the Great Planes Rimfire 35-30-1250 I had in it previously, but the Scorpion stayed a little cooler. I...

RE: Dog Fights back on?

I completely agree. My 5yo and 2yo sons probably would too, they sit quietly and watch every episode with me.

RE: FM Vs. PCM

That's not correct. The PCM version is selectable between PCM or PPM (FM) modulation.

I wonder if the 9CAF and 9CHF are actually on 8-channel radios... The 9th channel on my 9CAP is only...

RE: scorpion 3020-12 from rimfire?

I think the Scorpion's 3008-32 or 3008-28 would be a little closer in size and weight (3.02 oz), but a little more powerful (400 watts compared to the Rimfire's 300 watts continuous).

RE: 30 minutes flight time from my Super Sportster EP!
