RE: 3D Blah Blah Blah

Yes I have seen many "good" 3D pilots. But I just can't watch it for very long without getting dizzy......

I'm with John.

I'm also seeking some info on the Funsonic Turbine. It seems like a good deal, but I'm afraid to sink $2500 in turbine that does not run. Also, any other suggestions on a...

RE: 4120 vs 4130: Your project experience

Tango,
You're welcome!

If your LiPo's are new, don't forget to keep your flights to 4-5 mins. I have been told this is how best to "break them in". You know LiPo's do not develop memory...

RE: 4120 vs 4130: Your project experience

Here's another suggestion: Don't entirely base your choice around a battery. Consider your plane size, wingspan, wing area, flying weight and importantly the type of flying YOU prefer. Obviously 3D...

RE: 4120 vs 4130: Your project experience

Magna,
Here's something else you should consider.
Since you're attempting to reuse the 18 - 20 3300 mAh cell pack, the AXI 4210/14 is only rated for up to 16 cells which narrows your choice to...
