RE: New Funtana 125

Thanks, and keep me in mind if the weight ever pans out, but I don't see how my setup ever will. I also don't want to use this thread to discuss another brand so I'll PM you with the details, but...

RE: New Funtana 125

Racj - My ground test reads about 1510 Watts on a Turnigy 18x8 wood prop at 7400 RPM's and just under 50 Amps (like 47 to 49) with the 2x4S 2650mAh 25C pack.

Funny thing about the EF you...

RE: New Funtana 125

I have a 110 in another plane with a Turnigy 100A ESC (3.1 oz). I'm using two 4S Turnigy 2650mAh batteries and getting an easy 6 minutes and can push 8 if I wanted to. The plane comes in at about...

RE: Aeroworks Extra 300 60-90

There is certainly nothing wrong with changing the wheels to 3 inch. We fly off a grass field as well and I changed to 3 inch wheels on all but two of our planes between 60 and 110 sizes. It just...

RE: Aeroworks Extra 300 60-90

It's not the Engine, not the RPM's, not the prop, so it may be the grass, and the pants or elevator. Here are the facts.... 10K RPM's with a 4-pitch is still 55 ft per second or 37.5 MPH. If you...

RE: Aeroworks Extra 300 60-90

That's really funny how everything looks fine in that picture considering how the first pic looks like there is at least a few degrees of downthrust. But this angle obviously looks like a straight...

RE: Aeroworks Extra 300 60-90

Also, it seems that you have some downthrust in that engine setup, and I don't mean me. :D But I guess you will know when you trim it out, and when you cut back on the throttle while inverted. If...

RE: Aeroworks Extra 300 60-90

Friedclutch... it all makes sense because the 14x4W was with 15% Wildcat 2-4. Since we have a combo of 2c and 4c engines, we find that this fuel is a good compromise. I completely forgot about the...

RE: Aeroworks Extra 300 60-90

Nice build. Great job, but now I have to have one, which also means investing in a motor size I don't have already. About the tail mounted rudder servo, I was indeed asking about the possibilities...

RE: Aeroworks Extra 300 60-90

I would say definitely yes. My Saito swings an Evolution 16x6 prop 9200 RPM's with 15% nitro and delivers unlimited vertical in an 8 pound plane with 20%. The difference in weight between the 82...

RE: Aeroworks Extra 300 60-90

You're right da Rock. Let's not imply or impress that this is not a very good airplane. If it is anything like the 540T, it will be very durable. But there is a considerable disappointment that...

RE: Aeroworks Extra 300 60-90

The same thing happened with the 60 inch 540T. It came in heavier and needed one and really two engine sizes more than their high-end suggestion. We ended up going one size bigger, and it was okay...

RE: Aeroworks Extra 300 60-90

Thanks for the info, da Rock, and if your weight data is right, it's starting to look very promising. But low and slow is the flying I'm most interested in now, and I have had to retire my 2-strokes...

RE: Aeroworks Extra 300 60-90

I think I'm going to wait and see how the 82 ends up performing for you. The only problem I'm having is that I don't think the Skyshark 50 or my 60 equivalent motor, will provide any additional...

RE: Aeroworks Extra 300 60-90

Thanks for the pics. Looks really sharp! I think I'll save the money for the decals and have someone make up some custom Extra designs. I'm surprised AW would pass up the opportunity to get some...

RE: Aeroworks Extra 300 60-90

Since you mentioned tuning, I forgot to add that I dial in my Saitos the same way as my O.S. engines, and this seems to be the case for most people at our club 190 members. I have four O.S. engines...

RE: Aeroworks Extra 300 60-90

Analysis paralysis is something I know all too well. I know the Extremeflight RC Extra 300 (58 inch) flies great with a Saito 82. But that airplane will finish up between one-half and one pound...

RE: Aeroworks Extra 300 60-90

:D I was wondering about the color. I thought it may have been the camera. I knew about the decals though. I have some experience with Aeroworks and a friend of mine has a few as well. Here's...

RE: Aeroworks Extra 300 60-90

And Happy Father's Day, you lucky dog! I got a bottle of Patron and a pair of shorts! Did you happen to get an empty weight on that, by any chance? I have an electric setup in mind that should...
