RE: New Great Planes Revolver

Actually, if you look to page 15 in the instruction manual, you will see that they are 2 3/4 inch in diameter.
The wheel diameter is measured from the outer most part of the wheel. My 2 3/4 inch...

RE: FLITON EDGE 540 FREESTYLE they did it again

You will love this plane Casey. Be sure and build up the motor box. This one flies like a big bird. Lets see those videos.

RE: FLITON EDGE 540 FREESTYLE they did it again

Maidened her today and she flew great. The best knife-edge I have ever flown and harriers were very easy. I only flew her twice, but I will get her out next weekend for sure. Great plane.

RE: FLITON EDGE 540 FREESTYLE they did it again

Thanks for the suggestion on the carb springs, I'll get some on my way to the field.
I replaced all of the control horns with Du-Bros because they felt so flimsy. Hopefully
mine will fly as good...

RE: FLITON EDGE 540 FREESTYLE they did it again

Right now it is just behind the carbon wing tube, I might need to move it forward a little bit, but I'm going to try it here first. I'd say the CG is at about 4.5" behind the leading edge. Anyone...

RE: Saito 125 anybody? Finnaly coming are way

Ramon, any luck on figuring out the thread size on the exhaust manifold. I'm planning on putting the 125 in a World Models

RE: WORLD MODELS EXTRA 330L 60

Flyboy, thanks for the response. I have a 65" wingspan 60 size World Models Extra that should weigh about 8 lbs. when complete. I think you probably have the 28% model of the same plane. The 3W 55...

RE: WORLD MODELS EXTRA 330L 60

I just picked mine up last week. World Models make some of the highest quality ARF's that I have seen.
You don't need to upgrade the hardware and the pre-drilled holes for the controls horns are...

RE: Ultra stick 40/ Saito 82

Use a 14x6 APC on the Saito 82, it's hooked up with that combo.

RE: Hangar 9 Twist 3D

I like to use screws to hold the canopy in place also. It makes it accessible if you need to make any changes.

RE: Hangar 9 Twist 3D

Rfaria, you will find the U-Can-Do's will take off in a few feet and land very easily also. They float right in at low speed. Ask around, all of the people I know with U-Can-Do's are very happy...

RE: Hangar 9 Twist 3D

Rfaria, I've had both the Funtana 40 and the Twist and I personally like the way the Twist flies better. The Funtana 40 is one of the best looking planes around, but it likes to fall out of loops at...

Sachin, what are you flying now? I wouldn't suggest this plane as a first plane. We try to get our freinds in the Houston area to start out with a Ultra-Stick 40 as a first plane. They are very...

RE: Hangar 9 Twist 3D

RE: Hangar 9 Twist 3D

I run 30% heli fuel thru my Saito 72. It smokes good and gives you a little more power. Lefty, I didn't check the CG tonight, I will check it in the next couple of days for you.

Here is a pic of mine hovering. It will also flat-spin inverted very well. I run a Saito 72 with a 13x6 prop and it has plenty of power.
