RE: this is why i hate e-flite

man, thanks for the tips....I was beginning to wonder....

My basic concern was that I had mis-matched the components and somehow over-powered things with my choices. After all of the research...

I posted this earlier on in the "power source" forum but in re-thinking it, perhaps it is more appropriate here......

RE: F-16 Falcon Balance Issue

So, Kapt Krunch- you are a GENIUS! I, on the other hand, am an IDIOT! I read your response yesterday and immediately scoffed at the idea of propeller reversal. I guess, in the back of my mind, I...

RE: F-16 Falcon Balance Issue

Thanks Capt Krunch- you are a little too late, but better than never.....

RE: F-16 Falcon Balance Issue

Thanks again, AJ. I bought some wire and connectors the other night and put them on the battery to ESC connection. This allows the battery to stay up in the nose as far forward as possible. Then I...

RE: US Engines 45CC

Thanks Dave, for the input.

Hi all-

I made a trade a few months back resulting in me owning a US Engines 45CC. I believe the engine is less than 5 years old and the trader told me he had "good luck" with it. Since I'm...

RE: F-16 Falcon Balance Issue

Thanks AJ- I will work on it from that end, then. I'm still concerned about the weight....but the UltraFly folks tell me as long as the full-up wieght is 21 oz or less, all is well. I hope I don't...

I have the brushless variety of the UltraFly F-16. My problem is that it won't even come close to balancing without adding a ton of weight in the nose. Is this typical?? And, since the battery is now...

RE: need some advice on choosing my 2nd plane

WM T-34 Mentor, depending on how comfortable you were with your trainer. Set the control throws at the very minimum and I bet you easily adjust. Put a decent 40-50 in it and it hauls. But, slows down...
