Default RE: *Hangar 9 New Pulse 125*


ORIGINAL: fishingships

I was thinking about buying the Pulse 60 for my new Saito FA100 GK. So, in looking at threads for the 60, which also has the tripping problem due to LG, you may want to look at this video and see if this is a option for all of you Pulse 125'rs....

Any thoughts on a Pulse 60 w/ Saito FA100 vs. Escapade .61-.91 or Revolver 70'' or any other suggestions, I have a post on ARF forum, and I would appreciate any and all recommendations/suggestions... http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_11326726/tm.htm
Thanks !

I saw the video and tried the mod - the angle of the 125's gear is much greater than the 60's and it didn't look right at all.



I tried it with the stock gear on a riser block.

It was WAY too tippy. Full up elevator would work if the plane was pointed upwind and moving, but getting it moving often made it tip

I went with TNT landing gear...

But I like the look of the stock gear much better - so over the winter I'll move it forward an inch or two as others have done.
