Those suckers are so huge from any Washington spiders I'am used to ! You could get a meal out of a couple of them rascals...Lol.. Anyway.... Send me your address and I'll send ya couple for your collection....

Yeah its possible in my panic attempt, I probally hit the rudder there...LMAO... My sticks are very sensitive, as I have the rates/throws set very high to the maximum allowed... My control surfaces are probally 3 times the surface area of the T-28... Makes doing 3-D much easier ! With this plane, I use my rudder quite often, as some maneuvers like hovering and such require only rudder and elevator... And when I'am swinging it around in a turn for a landing, I compliment it slightly with a little rudder, which makes for a smooth consistent turn... Until I figure out expo on the DX-7, everything is manual on the sticks... I never could understand even with the heli's on how to add expo, just to confusing at this stage in the game for me !

The battery that came with the Typhoon is a Parkzone cheapy that puts out a max of a 15c discharge and has a 1800 mah capacity weighing 138 grams... My other two Thunder powers I run in it also are 147 grams and have a 2200 mah cap... Guess what I tried early this morning in it ?..... My CPP Thunder Power which is a 1320 mah 13c and weighing only 91 grams !...LOL...[8D] Now, I wasn't sure when I first attempted this because of the nearly 50-60 gram weight loss, but that Typhoon could hover all day long..........!!! And flies so sweet and smooth, that it blew me away ! Wind is definately your enemy now, as it is almost feather light compared to the other batts but that little TP batt is now my favorite. [8D] I'll have to download the video for it.... It's about 3 minutes long....

I had to be conservative on my throttle management however hovering for great lengths, as I had put the stock 25 amp E-Flite esc back in, and it gets warm compared to the Castle Creations 45 amper I did have in it, which was barely warm at all when I got done with a flight... I'am still paranoid of the E-Flites esc's because like I said before, of them catching on fire from accounts I have read... So cool...! I can land now also coming in a harrier-mode and landing almost like a heli...LMAO..

I'll download the vid.... You gotta see...

Take care all... Oh....Yeah...Dave, sometimes I talk to myself at the end of the vids.... I need to be cautious a little more...LMAO...
