RE: Extreme Flight Jeremy Chinn Yak-55SPs build thread

I have used the 425 nylon gear servos without any problem so the 422 should be OK. The Futaba 3010 is also an inexpensive lightweight servo with a little more torque. They also seem quite a bit...

RE: Extreme Flight Jeremy Chinn Yak-55SPs build thread

Yes, I have another one that went bad the last time out on the Sabre-40 throttle. The 225-mg gears are fine but the pot or motor is shot. These do not tolerate high vibrations very well. It was not...

RE: Extreme Flight Jeremy Chinn Yak-55SPs build thread

I have found that the 225's are not very good in profiles. I have repeatedly tried hoping to save weight and ended up with bad servos. Striped gears mostly on the nylon gear servos, or failure from...

RE: Has anyone flown both planes: OMP Edge 540 V3 & Mojo 40

I have a Mojo 40 ARF and a OMP Edge V1 Kit.
On the OMP I have tried several engines including a k&B 48 with a Jett tuned muffler. Tons of power but I really didn't like it.

RE: engines for 3d

Daniel,
REAL power to weight doesn't matter much, and doesn't necessarily give you an indication of 3D performance. THRUST to weight will give you a much better indication.

Example using a...

RE: engines for 3d

Daniel,
All of those horse power numbers are pretty much useless. They really tell you nothing about the 3D performance you can expect. I have owned almost all of these engines and had most of them...

RE: If you could have only one 3D plane which?

To me, the Sabre, Moass, Primo & Chinyak all were more capable for the wild on-the deck 3D stuff then either the small or larger fusion. I thought that the larger fusion (67") felt more like a full...

RE: Satio 100 in SHOWTIME 90 - hover help !

Wow, over 10 lbs.... That's satio 180/YS 140 with 30% teritory.
A 6 lb plane with 30% nitro on a satio 100 is about right for "pulling out in a hurry". You really want closer to 2:1 power to...

RE: Small hole in the carb's choke plate.

Yes, you certainly can close the hole to make starting easer. You can solder, or even use J-B weld. You are far, far more likely to have the choke plate screw loosen up and be ingested than the...

RE: Favorite engine?

Another Brison 3.2 mechanical advance vote.... it has been flawless for seven years.
It still scares the DA-50 owners when I stab the throttle and it instantly responds.

RE: will a tartan 44cc 2 cylinder fly a 50cc yak 3d?

Are these your only two choices? The tartan may get it off the ground but forget any 3D. The Fugi would do better but still not the best choice for 3d on a 50cc yak. There are several much lighter...

RE: Engine Kill...By choke servo or by ignition kill

I have used both the optical & choke servo route. Both kill the engine fast (one is no faster or any better then the other.) The statement

RE: Expos for 3D flying

I found that is is very plane dependent. 40% or -40% expo is way too much on some planes or control surfaces while others need up to 60% for 3D. It is very easy to tell when you have too much expo....

RE: Direct Drive Servos

The biggest problem I see, is for non-3D type planes. Servo travel is way too much for required smaller control movements. You can reduce this by reducing your end points but then you loose quite a...

RE: thinking of mojo

The 60 with a 100 is a great combo. Plenty of power and then some. The 60 size Mojo with a 100 will have more power that the Mojo 65 with a 125. The 60 size is actually a little more stable in 3D...

RE: BME 115 Any Field Reports?

RTK,
I think there is more to it than a rich midrange or a need to improve the carb mixtures throughout the throttle range. I have been down that path. I modified the high speed jets the low speed...

RE: BME 115 Any Field Reports?

Patric,
If you still have a kit I will sign a disclosure and test on a moded V-2 carb 115.
Certainly north near Canada, lots of engine experience.

Wow, something is wrong! My 3.2 will spin a zinger 22x10 around 7100. A 22 x 8 3W prop at 7300. The 4.2 should spin a 24X10 at 6500+. The 5.8 should spin a 26 x 10 at 6500+.
