RE: RCGF Engines

I have to comment here - not that Henry or Steve need another input....they do not -I was one of the original testers for RCCDI (Excel) on the 2S A123. At that time, tolerances were different, and...

Half the wingspan is the CC you need.

RE: RCGF Engines

I just typed the whole freakin' procedure for balancing both hub and blades, and freakin' RCU timed out and blew it off.
Ain't gonna do it again.

You have to balance both.

RE: RCGF Engines

You even had ME rereading that one..... a 32 x 8 at 6400 would be a HELLUVA 120, much less a "60".....

RE: RCGF Engines

I started RC so long ago in Denver, CO, that we bolted 60 glow engines on 40 airframes and "hoped" they would work "okay".
