RE: Best .40 size 3D (beginners) plane ?!

For the money and for the motor you have, I like the Modeltech Magic Extra (NOT the normal Magic, make sure it's the "Extra"). It's pretty small for a 40, and it is a good 3D ship that still does...

RE: saito 180 to big for a funtana .90 ?

I would use a small about of epoxy to reinforce the firewall joints. You'll need taller main gear (CF is a good option for weight reduction -...

RE: saito 180 to big for a funtana .90 ?

It will be fine. A lot of people are putting the 1.50 on it (including myself), which is sufficient. I wouldn't say the 1.80 is overkill, because I love power, but I think it may be the rule of...

RE: Funtana 90!

APC makes a 18x6W - would that be too much if running 30% on the 1.50? From what I've read, probably too much prop.

RE: Funtana 90!

Does anyone know for sure if the larger Perry oscillating pump will feed enough fuel to the Saito 1.50? I've heard differing opinions.

RE: Funtana 90!

Just by switching to Lipo batteries, CF landing gear, and lighter wheels/axles you can make more of a weight difference than the weight difference between any of the proposed motors.

RE: Funtana 90!

Excellent points. I'm just approaching it from the standpoint of someone who already had a Saito 1.50 and wants to close the performance gap with the YS. In retrospect, I would've purchased the YS...

RE: Funtana 90!

If the primary advantage of the YS is the pressurized fuel system, why not run a Perry pump on a Saito 1.50? Would that close at least some of the reported performance gap between the YS and the...

TManiaci,

Are you running the stock motor mount? If so, how's the vibration? Also, I was considering some of the boosted servo extensions from servocity.com for the tail servos since it's such...

RE: Hangar 9 Twist 3D Vs. Model Tech Magic

RE: Hangar 9 Twist 3D Vs. Model Tech Magic

FYI, HobbyPeople.net has Magnum .91 4-strokes on sale for $150. I ordered another one to replace the rather old Mag .91 currently on my Twist. Great motor for the Twist, and at $150 you can't go...

RE: magnum 4 stroke quality questions

What about 30% heli fuel in a Magnum .91? I like the 30% for my other engines, but I think it may be causing predetonation in my Magnum. I hear a knocking at certain RPMs.

RE: Hangar 9 Twist 3D Vs. Model Tech Magic

Kewl, I'll definitely try that next flight. I guessed and made my extentions 2 inches as well.

Any tips on elevatoring this beast? I can easily elevator my Extremeflight Mini 3D, but the Twist...

RE: Hangar 9 Twist 3D Vs. Model Tech Magic

thevirginian,

I added your mod to my Twist, and you're right. It just makes the plane behave better all around. Definitely worth the trouble. I still can't elevator this plane. I can tail...

How wide were the tips you installed (meaning how much additional...

RE: Hangar 9 Twist 3D Vs. Model Tech Magic

I'm thinking about cutting a small horizontal groove in the wing tip from front to back, glueing a sheet of thin ply into the groove so that it sticks out maybe 3 inches, putting a couple of braces...

RE: Hangar 9 Twist 3D Vs. Model Tech Magic

Yeah, I just made a cut in the monocote and used velcro and a zip tie to secure the battery. Then I covered the cut with clear packing tape. Not extremely elegant, but effective.

RE: Hangar 9 Twist 3D Vs. Model Tech Magic

I have my battery just in front of the tail servos. I'm only running a 2 cell 850 mah Lipo pack, so it's not as drastic as it sounds, but you can slide the battery as far back as you want.

Nice setup! You have a fortune in radio equipment. I couldn't afford digitals, so I'm running high-torque (144 oz) MG analog servos. I'll hopefully upgrade one day.

This may be a stupid...
