is FLIP 3D too HEAVY ???
 

hello (i,m from spain ,sorry for my english)

i,m thinking about to buy a FLIP 3D airplane.
I want two things of this plane: slow flight and it can stay in front of me (like a helicpter lol)

is FLIP 3D good for this or it is too heavy (with OS 60)

very thanks

The os 60 is a bit heavy for this plane i think...
I use irvine 53, hover at half trottle , love the plane :D

You can make the 60 work if you buy a Macs Muffler. This muffler is very light and the weight of my 60FX and muffler is only 21.5 oz (600g). If you didn't already buy the 60 there are better choices.

Irvine .53
OS 50
YS 63
and many others

Sorry but these engines are not enough power for a full 3D performance. Not that it won't fly, but it will not have the needed escape power.
A Irvine 53 or OS 50sx with stock muffler have barely enough power to pull out of a hover. Even with those engines you will need a UT muffler, or other tuned muffler. I would go with a mini rossi tuned pipe and a Irvine 53. I had a OS 50SX and rossi mini pipe, and it was OK.

Nicodemo33, send a PM to YNOT here on RCU. He has tried different engines, and is currently flying his Flip with a Irvine 53 and tower muffler. He can give you some good advise and tips on how to setup and power that Flip correctly.
