im currently getting my hype redy to fly,
im using irvine53 and jr nes591s,has anyone flying with an irvine 53,whats the power like?

hi hypeitup i also have a hype 3d but i have an os 50 in mine with a tuned pipe it hovers at 1/4 throttle but the vertical performance is a bit slow(i think) my friend has an irvine 53 in his wildcard and i have to say its excellent even vertical

hope this helps

I have also purchased a Hype 3D with an irvine 53. Just wondering what prop is best to use. Also have you experienced or heard of the rear fuz breaking,it looks fairly weak and i have heard rumors of it breaking.

hi gavb
try an apc 12,25x3,75 works well,but you could also use 13x4.
good luck

hi gav b i use a 12.25/3.375 apc prop on my hype...... i have heard of the fuz breaking but the blokes at my club have put it through its paces and i havent had a single problem but it does state in the manual fly SLOW at ALL times........and i must say it flys superb mine flys like its on rails.......

have fun

Had Irv 53 in mine with the 12.25/3.75 prop. CG has to be way back to hold a half decent hover in no wind. You'll have to take the covering off underneath and box the battery in to do it.

hi ditchit
thanks i wil give it ago,first flights saturday so i wil let u no
how it performs.

don't want to patronise you but make sure you've re-inforced the horiz stab. The thickness of the sides of the fuse aren't thick enough to deal with the forces. If you're going to box the battery in the tail, then put some tri-balsa inside the tail up against the horiz stab and inside fuse sides. IT'S A MUST BEFORE YOU EVEN FLICK THE ENGINE !

hi ditchit i dont have my battery in the tail and i havent re-inforced anything my c-g is 180 from le ive had about 15 flights with my hype and havent had a problem........ do you recomend that i re-inforce the fuz ......


ditchit is yours the old hype or the new original hype i have the new original hype ????

The old one admittedly but I've still seen posts on here where the same problem has happened with weakness around the horz stab.

As far as I'm aware the design of the Hype hasn't changed it's just being made by another manufacturer that is making it how Weston wanted it made originally.

thanks for the reply ditchit

im going to leave mine alone and if it does break it will be going straight back to allen at westons ... i live local to weston's and i did speak to allen about this before i bought mine and he assured me they are fine...... ive only had mine a month and only been flying for 6 months i also have a cougar 2000 with i have great fun with also havent had any problems with that either
