RE: RedWing MX2 Build

No i didn't do anything extra. There are multiple things that could have avoided this but I was expecting it to be a bit stronger. Mu last quarter scale had the metal l blocks that went up much...

RE: RedWing MX2 Build

I feel like the problem is there is no support in the back. I have no doubt it could take a hard hit if the plane dropped down directly on the gear but any resistance pulling the wheels/gear...

RE: RedWing MX2 Build

Long grass + soggy areas + weakish landing plate area equals a crappy maiden flight. I am a little dissapointed with the strength of this plane. I have heard the landing gear area was weak but...

RE: redwing/goldwing mx2 firewall mod@durabilty?

The easy pay plan is awesome. I have used it at least 10 times up to this point, really takes the sting out of buying high dollar stuff.

RE: RedWing MX2 Build

Haha that was Fahad asking. I have mine set at 5.25 from the LE per Tim's reccomendations. And Fahad, the weather here is just horrible. There hasn't been a decent day rto fly in a month or so. ...

RE: VESS prop tiny damage - how serious is it?

I wouldn't think so. That little weight difference will not affect anything.

RE: aeroworks planes

I'd have to put peakmodel on the stay away list, they seem to have little to no customer service. Goldwing/Redwing make good stuff as well ( I am flying a 73 inch redwing mx2 now at 9.5 pounds).

RE: aeroworks planes

I would give aeroworks the "best built" award. they are extremely strong but suffer in the weight category (but they still fly good). I am in no way telling you not to get an aw plane, they make...

RE: aeroworks planes

Bahaha, true. I guess I don't see the need for the extra 'strength". The price vs performance factor just isn't there with aeroworks IMO, they might take abuse better but I personally don't abuse my...

RE: aeroworks planes

They certainly can do every 3d maneuver out there, they will just fly a little bit different, I don't how else to explain it other than that they fly heavy. Aeroworks are still a joy to fly, i just...

RE: aeroworks planes

They are regarded as heavy vs a lot of other arf manufacturers out there. This is where the "lumberworks" nick name has come from. If you look inside an aeroworks plane vs a ef or 3dhs or eg you...

RE: RedWing MX2 Build

Nope, gonna be a few weeks still. Gotta wait for weather and a few other things.

I also use an Aurora 9. I absolutely love it! I only paid 290 for it which was a complete steal. It is by far...

RE: RedWing MX2 Build

Yup, definitely a bad servo, switched it with the rudder and ailerons are perfect now. Probably going to get a 9150mg for the rudder anyways.

RE: RedWing MX2 Build

Nice. Back on topic, My mx2 is done short of adjusted the throws and getting the cg right. . I think I may have gotten a dud ds-090m though. It is noticeable slower than every other one on the...

RE: RedWing MX2 Build

Read what I wrote above. Hacker rates the a150 at 14s, so I'd say its pretty safe to assume it can run safely on 14s. You use a smaller prop with more voltage to get the power, less amp draw,...

RE: RedWing MX2 Build

Correct. More voltage, less amperage. Generally thats the way you want to go, otherwise you would have to use a large prop to get the power and the batteries wouldn't last long. So high voltage,...

RE: RedWing MX2 Build

It can ;) The a150 is rated to 14s. I'd go with 8k 14s for a ballistic plane that would still weigh about the same
