Bobby, that is the best description I've read so far anywhere online (for a beginner like me!). Thank you so much. You obviously have a fondness for your Dandy Sport, and I have to say I've been thinking it's a very nice plane as well just reading about it online. I hope you won't mind my wondering further (you guys are like a fountain of knowledge and I feel almost guilty for asking and asking but since you've been so kind already I'll press my luck and hope for the best).
I suppose this could be called a motor question. Did you set your Dandy Sport up just as they describe it? With the EPS300-C motor and the Pixie ESC? I ask because one of the things I've noticed with the M.M. planes is that they have "recommended" power plants only, and I started wondering if someone used a different EPS like the 350 or the 400, or a different ESC with around the same number of amps they already owned rather than buying the 'exact' 300 motor, would that also work? As long as you had enough power for the eps and the esc to run? I understand that there's a difference in the amount of power that the 300 takes as opposed to the 350 or the 400, etc, and that the 'ratio' you see on each one seems to have something to do with the size of the propellor you can use, but I don't understand how you figure that out. Especially when you're dealing with the SAME series, different letters. For example, there are about 5 models of each kind of engine it looks like, EPS-300-B, 300-C, 300-D, then the 350 series and 400 series it's the same deal all over again, the A, B, C, D versions, etc... and I can't find a good description anywhere of what makes them 'different' from one another other than the ratio, which is related to the propellor, which confuses me, which is why I ask. [8D] lol
