RE: Pilot Seduction Freestyle - Conversion?

Hello,

Just use all the conversion charts you have available online... Your motor(YS63) puts out 1.5 Horse power. Converting that to an electric motor, the equivalent is 1118.5 watts. This...

RE: 51

Probably my last post here for Nostalgia. My guess is that many people want to build ARF's and not work so hard to get a plane in the air. Me, I love working with this Foamular stuff. Sands like a...

RE: U-Can-Do 3D EP

I had the EPP yak55 (99.9% the same plane as u can do) and ran brushless on it just fine. I used the Himax HC2812-0850 stick mounted, but you can use any motor than puts out around 150 watts. If you...

RE: E-flite UMX Extra 300 3D (Ultra Micro Extreme)

Sorry to hear that you might give her up....I am opposite of you at this moment. I used to fly 450 Heli's, but even after I learned to fly all orientations and loops(not much 3D) the heli was just...

RE: Edge 540T E-Performance Series 3D EP ARF 50

Nitroplanes, nitrorcx, xheli, hobbyparts, raidenthech and a few more are all linked to the same warehouse and customer service out of the Los Angeles area. Always check Hobbypartz.com first because...

RE: Edge 540T E-Performance Series 3D EP ARF 50

I read a bit of the RCG thread on your plane, dudes were smoking 60A ESC's in this plane....Maybe it's a ploy to get you to keep buying them? Good news on the motor/esc I guess if that's all it...

RE: 51

I feel ya! I moved from the Bay Area where I knew exactly where to find the stuff. When I recently moved near Folsom Ca, I was frantic to find something I could build planes out of. Not 1 store had...

RE: 51

These 2 pictures show the alignment of the wings and horizontal stab. Also, check out that cowl block... Probably going to mount a plastic cowl over the front to get more dimension....

I am in the process of making another plane out of the Pink foam. Instead of Jay's dimensions, I loosely followed the dimensions of the Precision Aerobatics Addiction X... I went way out of my...

RE: Edge 540T E-Performance Series 3D EP ARF 50

Those s3115 Futaba servos can only handle 4.8v. If you put more through them, they will fry prematurely. With that said though, these are the servos that the reviewer uses on RCG. They will do almost...

RE: Edge 540T E-Performance Series 3D EP ARF 50"

In my opinion, you will need to buy a 100A ESC for this plane. You can see that this one does 6v on the BEC as well, so you would not need the external one. Something like this

RE: Edge 540T E-Performance Series 3D EP ARF 50"

Technically speaking, the 60A ESC you mention is not sufficient for the recommended motor either. I know that the motor has a constant of 50A but if you hammer on the throttle at full vertical and...

RE: Edge 540T E-Performance Series 3D EP ARF 50"

Not sure which ESC you are installing but below is a picture of the Electrifly 45 amp ESC that is on Towers website. Clearly it says 5v for the internal bec. I run 4 servos on my 3D plane with an...

RE: Need help setting up a plane

Cool! The only support I used was a wood spar directly across the front of the L.E. The obvious trade off between this foam and the thin depron/fff is it is much more rigid. My type breaks easier,...

Sounds like you will be up and flying in no time. I had to take a trip down South to San Diego(about an 1100 mile round trip) so i am sorry I did not reply sooner. I wanted to say congratulations and...

Freddy, how the heck are those aileron servos mounted to the wing?? Looks like maybe a zip tie?

RE: Wildcat 3D

I really like these planes. Nice job!

I am getting ready to build my second large foam plane. The first was a CAP3Dx 3D plane that was designed by theradioflyer. My second might be this plane!...

RE: E-flite UMX Extra 300 3D (Ultra Micro Extreme)

As far as those videos...You should try and give that a search on Google to see what you come up with. There could be something out there that will help. I never used one, so I simply just don't...

Define "foam core". I am wondering which type of foam. Stryra, EPP, EPS, FFF ???

RE: E-flite UMX Extra 300 3D (Ultra Micro Extreme)

I would say that hall has ample enough room to learn to fly the 3d plane that you purchased. I fly a 51" wingspan 3d plane in the infield(inside bases) of a baseball field!! You can either let the...

RE: E-flite UMX Extra 300 3D (Ultra Micro Extreme)

Was there a question in that post? To be honest, if the plane is setup correctly most of these little planes fly very similar. Foam is floaty and very forgiving in the air to learn tricks. There is...
