Default RE: chit chat thread

well its 3am and I cant sleep so I got my fleet all ship shape to go flying in a few hours.

I put the 4.15x4.15 prop on my parkjet and made an adaptor plug so I can use ether a JST or XT60 connector. Its geared up for my 3s 1000mah nano tech lipos now. Should be alot faster. Put the lipo all the way to the back and the CG feels good. Ill have to run some amp test when its a more reasonable hour as it hums along nicely. I should be able to use ether a 2s or 3s on it now. Not sure if this prop will have enough punch for a 2s though but theres only one way to find out. I just have to learn how to land her a bit better. I normally come in too hot.

I made a few more mods to the durafly micro slick 3d and added a canopy magnet to it and she closes tight as a drum now. Its actually quite hard to pull the canopy off now. I checked that my 2 x 1s = 2s lipo lead works and it does. I put 2 x 240mah 1s hyp lipos with the lead and theres only a 1g difference to the stock zippy 180mah 2s lipos you are meant to use. I also took off the stock spinner and replaced the prop with a 5030 so I can get a bit more run time out of her. Some say shes slower then the sbach but the proof will be in the pudding.

I pulled out my hawk 80 3d foamy and slapped a gws 10x6 prop on it and used the new rubber bands I got and shes tight as on there now. Fixed up one of the control arms. Put some velcro on there so I can mount my lipo. She should be set to go now finally. Just have to find the right CG for her.

The rare bear is still good to go. Just hope these props I got will give it enough thrust.

I slapped some velcro on the backs of my nano tech lipos so I can mount them on various aircraft.

Im hoping to get some good footage for you guys. Should be alot of fun. I just hope I can get this rare bear in the air finally.

Anyways just waiting for the rest of my lipos to charge and for the sun to come up now and Ill be off for a fly.
