Default RE: chit chat thread

nah BJ ive been pretty slack on the rc front. Going up to dads on monday so i might do it then.

I just won me eflite park 480 motor for $36. I plan to take the 35-30 1100kv motor off the hyperion snyper and put it back into the extra 260. Then ill install the park 480 onto the hyperion snyper.

Im hoping the park 480 will give me that little bit more punch to do some awesome 3d with the hyperion snyper without it being to powerfull and sucking all the juice out of the lipo.

I think ill fit a 11x5.5 prop on both of these birds. Seems to be the sweet spot for props.

The 1700kv motor in the extra 260 was just overkill. Sure its a blast to fly but i cant do the loopy rolly polly thing with it anymore. I think i will have to install a higher torque servo in the rudder as well. It seems the hxt900's dont have enough grunt to move the steerable tail wheel on take off and landing.

Oh well i have a few projects. Just gotta get motivated and do them.
