Spektrum Ultra Micro Singing Servo Noise

Do all three of these ultra micro servos emit the same similar constant intermittent noise?

Wondering if the 1.7g & 2.3g linear long throws are quieter than the SMP6832 or vica versa

RE: Good First Planes

Agree that your recommendation is a perfect fit for your background, but not by a long shot for your average youthful parkflyer that's just getting into electrics. Besides, it's always best for a...

RE: Gens Ace 4 cell 2200 25c

How's it doing now? My guess is that you're just as pleased with it's performance now as when you posted.

Right-On. Your Gens Ace 25C rating is at or very close to its continuous discharge...

RE: Recommended Charge Rates LiPO

A 20C-25C continuous discharge rating for your 3300mAh pack would be 3.3amps x 20C = 66 amps or 3.3 x 25C = 82amps. Most/all 25C packs (even more so those rated at 40C-50C) aren't really intended to...

RE: battery questions

Why would you want to use a more expensive, heavier, higher voltage lipo that probably won't even fit without modifying battery compartment and burn out the ESC/power plant. Try another quality 2S...

RE: Will This Work (Big Newb Here!)

Being that you are just getting started your relatively inexpensive lipo charger probably doesn’t have digital readouts that can monitor each cell of a 3S pack during charging. I'd recommend you...

RE: Lipo storage

1.8 amps and 2.2 amps (or 1C) is the generally accepted norm. The more important factor is the storage voltage, not the rate at which they are charged.

RE: SuperCub B/less Conversion ... WHY ???

Methinks there is always an exception. What about an aspiring electric parkflyer that rents a room or lives out of his/her car, and only has enough room for just one plane.

RE: SuperCup B/less Conversion ... WHY ?

RE: Good (or bad) flying habits or set-up?

Assume you are using the Spektrum DX 5i or something comparable for this 3 channel slow flyer.

So what do you figure is the total cost to get it airborne and what's your third plane? Hope I'm...

RE: not having problems just want more info.

noticed your mention of 4.8v battery on Gasoline forum with your 'at wit's end' thread. My 2 cents thinks your NiMH has seen better days so it may not even want to hold a 6 volt charge. Thus the...

RE: Good (or bad) flying habits or set-up?

Shouldn't it be ... "not to use any more than 1000 mah" of your 1200mAh pack or 84% of its rated capacity. Ditto, perhaps the hardest thing for parkflyers is mastering landings and minimizing bad...

RE: Good (or bad) flying habits or set-up?

Don't follow your thinking as the FlyLite by Great Planes doesn't have ailerons, just rudder and elevator (and of course throttle). It sounds like you are suggesting that he might have been better to...

RE: Parkzone F4u and Power 15

AGREE!

Going from an 1800mAh to a 2000mAh when converting from the 480 960Kv outrunner to a Power 15 that can consume up to 575 watts when using a larger prop will drastically reduce your flying...
