RE: flyzone diablo

I haven''t been out with the Diablo since the upgraded motor shaft broke, and I''ve been slow to fix since I have the Yardbird Mig-29. I bought the DX6i and I love it.

Well yesterday I put the...

RE: flyzone diablo

I think there is a lot of 'value' in this plane. To get the entire package for anywhere between $100 and $200 is not that bad. Compare: I also bought the Yardbird MIG 29. It was too hard for me to...

FMS for thrust-vector jet?

Any idea where I could find a FMS model to help me learn to fly this? http://yardbirdrc.com/Mig%2029.htm

I'm rather new to this and not aware of any. Thanks.

RE: flyzone diablo

Animal acker, you'll be fine with the 1500mha; I have flown the original 1500, a quality 1650, and cheapo-chinese 2200mHa. All worked fine.

Interestingly enough, in an unscientific manner, I...

RE: flyzone diablo

I flew through a few batteries with the new brushless reattached (after the whole hyperflow was spinning in the pod). This time with the pod on top, and as everyone is saying, it worked just fine. ...

RE: flyzone diablo

I've had troubles with the upgrade , I figured it out eventually, the motor was not spinning in the mount; the entire HyperFlow was spinning; not enough glue for the upgrade! I hope I used enough...

RE: flyzone diablo

BRUSHLESS UPGRADE: WOW! I put in a 4850kv el-cheapo form hobbycity ($16) and 30amp ESC ($9.75). It sounded so amazing, felt so powerful, I figured something would go wrong. It did.

When...

RE: diablo junk

Animal, what you say is basically true, it's not a blazing fast plane. And the dual pod sounds heavy and may not be an 'upgrade' at all. I went flying at lunch the other day and turns out I forgot...

RE: flyzone diablo

I dislike that we are using two fourms, so I will try to start a trend and use this one; it has more posts.

Northchim has had the most extreme mod yet, and I can't wait to see how it affects...

First DLG, with caveats....

Sorry for the redundant post, but then again go read something else if you don't want to help! I have flown 2 RTF's, a complete beginner and a beginner EDF jet, but nothing seems cooler than DLG's! ...

I looked at that one too, but "out of stock". I can't take the unknown wait time! I've been waiting on a DX6I Spektrum too long, so what I did order was IN STOCK and it's still going to take a...

RE: flyzone diablo

Yes, $35 for both with shipping, very cheap, isn't it! Well, it's coming from China, on the slow boat. It will be weeks before I see it, but I just can't afford the $80 from LHS, if they even had...

RE: flyzone diablo

I don't know much at all, but from looking at the Hyperflow website, you get a good bit more punch. Really rough numbers, but looks like %90 more power, %45 more thrust, and %25 greater efflux...

RE: flyzone diablo

Mine glitches as well, but only once has it caused a crash.

Northtrim, loved the video. Exactly what my first flight was like, before I got the weight forward.

I wouldn't cut the wing...

RE: flyzone diablo

I think my nose has 6 lateral glus seams.... don't need as much weight in the nose anymore. My news for the day is that after one landing/crash one of the beginner wing tips fell off. What a...

Crashed again, oddly it was because it was flying so well. with out the deflector I felt it had a little more speed and all the loops were solid with no stall at the top. I tried one from about...

If, I'm happy with it stock (except for the balance and fragility issues), I would be very happy...
