What's going on here

I am merely a casual sport flyer who watches F3A in fascination from a distance. I have to say that this thread is illuminating in more ways than one. Very cool for a nerd like me, to learn about the...

RE: Kaos E-Konversion

A couple of Kaotic images:

Photo 1: The Ino-Lab 250 is a fabulous digital servo for $20, but it's so tiny I had to make a stepstool tray to line up the pushrods. Same pic also shows the...

RE: Kaos E-Konversion

Wow, that is great input. I will have to digest it and see what I can do.

I think I will cave in to the finger wagging about power and run a bit hotter. APC 11x5.5 = 740W @ 11,700 on the...

RE: Kaos E-Konversion

David is right that the Vagabond used an X-mount and my setup does not. However, I figured I probably would get a sleeker look by front mounting when the nose ring/mount is fully faired in and...

RE: Kaos Konversion...too good to be true??

One more thing. Are you saying 300 W/lb for a 1970s era 2d pattern ship? I have to ask if this is a typo.

RE: Kaos E-Konversion

One more thing, David. Is my takeoff thrust greater than 1:1 not good enough for a 1970s pattern ship? Not to speak of my 125+ W/lb. I have no experience with this so I am just going by published...

RE: Kaos E-Konversion

You may be right about the electric vs piston propeller thing. Unfortunately my motor is redlines at 700W and I am too far down the road to change now. I am thinking I will fly the Kaos with this...

RE: Kaos Konversion...too good to be true??

Thanks, Jim. The online AMA review of the Kaos (great article) said that the 46 engine used was turning an 11x6 at 11,300. I am beating that number by a few hundred and well under the lower weight...
