RE: Not enough power to brushless

You need to borrow or buy a volt/ohm meter. If you are just charging to 3.7 volts you have a bad charger. The correct voltage for a fully charged lipo is 4.2 volts per cell as others have said. Right...

RE: Ultra Stick 40 servo location

If you are going to use a 40 size motor you may not need to move the servos. If however you like most of us us a 60 size (weight) moving the servos back is perfect. mxerman

RE: super stick

I will make a guess or two. If its a 60 size plane (you didn't say). I would think that the 11x7 is too small. I would try about a 14x7 or maybe 13x8. I don't have the specs on the plane but its a 40...

RE: Seagull Yak?

I would use the one with the most power. My guess that would be the Saito. You will most likely need to add weight to balance with either one. Good luck, mxerman

RE: Katana Mini or Ultra Stick Mini

I vote for the mini ultra stick. As far as flying around the house. It has ability to fly slower without the tip stall that the katana has. That makes it easier to land in a small area. To me a MUS...
