RE: Yacht Racing

From the images I found it looks like it would be a good boat for a one-design (everyone sails exactly the same stock boat) class. I cannot tell from the pictures, but it looks like it does not have...

RE: Watertight Rx Switch?

Midwest Model Yachting is back in business and Brian carries a waterproof toggle switch, but I think he is out of stock until his next shipment comes in. I think they are a SailsEtc item, but with...

RE: Help - Need Manual for Green RC Tiger Moth

Jeff:

Thanks for the reply. A few hours ago I found a pdf of the manual on the RCGroups in an old thread from 2006. It wasn't titled as the manual which is why the search function failed to...

Help - Need Manual for Green RC Tiger Moth

Just like the title says.....

I bought a 40" Green RC Tiger Moth (Atlanta Hobby - Green RC Tiger Moth) and it was the last one in the store - probably any store since Green RC is no longer...

RE: Brushless F-27 Stryker

I think what you want is the same set up as people use in the old Projeti; 3S1P 20C lipos and either an APC 4.75 x 4.75 or Graupner Cam 5.5 x 4.3
Some guys like the way it flys on 8 cell NiCd's...

RE: Brushless F-27 Stryker

I would try the 6 x 4 on 4S first, as long as you watch the WOT (unless the pack is the new Pro-Lites) and see how you like it. I have run a Stryker on 4S with a Mega 16/15/5 and a 7 x 5 prop. It...

RE: Brushless F-27 Stryker

I looked up the UltraFly on the Aircraft World website and while they didn't list all of the parameters of that motor they did list it at 2900 Kv. The Mega 16/15/4 that is common for this plane is a...

RE: Brushless F-27 Stryker

UBEC = Ultimate Battery Eliminator Circuit. Most Electronic Speed Controls (ESC) have an internal battery eliminator circuit (BEC) to drop the pack voltage (usually between 7v and 12V) down to...

RE: Brushless F-27 Stryker

Sounds like either a battery issue or ESC problem to me.

You did not say what size prop you are using but even with a 60A ESC (way overkill BTW- a 35A is plenty) if the battery pack is not...

RE: Brushless F-27 Stryker

Amen to that, but I would suggest the HS-56 as an alternative servo. The 81's are a little large and a bit heavy too. Even the common HS-55's will work, but the HS-56's have the much stronger...

RE: Brushless F-27 Stryker

I make all the different packs fit in my Unicorn by using foam spacers. The battery bay is cut so the lightest pack balances the furthest forward and all of the others have their own spacers to get...

RE: Brushless F-27 Stryker

Try 12-cell packs of GP-1100's. I run that pack in my Unicorn that has the same power package....that is when I get bored. After changing my underwear I go back to the 10-cell packs of 1400's or...

I can't be sure from the photos, but it looks like the motor mount is just bolted flat to the foam and the foam has no angle to it. If you look carefully at the mount as it sits on the...

RE: Brushless F-27 Stryker

Only two and they wer to show my experiment with larger elevons in order to get a faster roll rate. It turns out they were too big and the plane became almost uncontrollable, even with loads of expo...

RE: Brushless F-27 Stryker

The Mega is a little larger in diameter than the Speed 400, so you have to do a little cutting. First you cut both rings through at the top so the motor will slide in. Then you may have to redrill...

Very sharp! So that's what you do with old Slow Stick stickers. :D

What did you use for paint? I tried Krylon and it didn't stick. Then I tried waterbased Bulls Eye primer with Faskolor on...

RE: Brushless F-27 Stryker

I have used the APC 6.3 x 4, 6.5 x 3.7 and the 6.5 x 2.9. To be honest, there is not a great deal of difference in their flying performance. The larger the diameter the slower the prop is going to...

RE: Brushless F-27 Stryker

reehoe:

Try both an APC 6 x 4e (made for Speed 400 motors) or for just a bit more vertical and about the same speed the APC 6.3 x 4 (.15 gas prop). You can make that /5 climb like a monkey in a...

RE: Brushless F-27 Stryker

Pyrock:

You have to worry about BOTH the cells and the ESC. Since a 6x4e will pull just about 20 amps, the CC 25 will work fine with the hatch either off or with some holes punched in...

RE: Brushless F-27 Stryker

The difference is in how "hot" the wind of the motor is. The 4 turn motor has a higher RPM/Volt ratio than the 5 turn, so a pack of a given number of cells (fixed voltage) will spin the 4 turn motor...

I weighed it at the time, but I don't remember now, and I have since converted to a GenII fuse that is heavier than my old GenI. It was probably around 21-22 oz since it had a Hitec 555...

IME, the GP-1100's are FAR superior to the KAN cells. They will push better than 30 amps and still hold their voltage, while the KAN's drop off at about 12 amps. Cheapbatterypacks.com...

RE: Brushless F-27 Stryker

RE: Brushless F-27 Stryker

I have done a few - like about 8, so if that makes me an "expert" I guess I am. I really like the 16/15/4 as a drop in replacement for a direct drive Speed 400 size application. When powered with...
