Ok. Personally I think getting the Stryker C is the best thing to do.

But if you want my 2 cents on the matter of the 2000kv motor then I say you wont need it.

Have you been to horizonhobby.com and looked at the videos of the stryker C in action?

A thing of beauty if you ask me. I just dont see me needing any more speed or power than that on a stryker.

On my micro jet the motor I got will get the plane to do 100+mph easy... I'm actually quite worried abou that.

I started chaning out the parts tonight and will finish and maiden fly it tomorrow Deeeeeep breath

I'm making sure not to get excited cuz it's then you make all the mistakes especially the silly ones like not range checking, control surface checking, trimming for laungh,
just really easy common sence stuff that if you don't do, you can easily crash and end the life of your plane.

It happened to me last week with the micro jet. Seems I Busted a control arm on landing and did not realize it (so only one servo on was able to move).

I just launched again after changing the battery and down she went Bent up the nose quite bad but luckly it got straight again no sweat! Tomorrow? Big day Biiiiiiig Day
I'll see about getting some pics up.


Good luck to you!

xero.

okay umm i got me the f-27c stryker i crashed it a few times.. but after that day i dident crash anymore lol man its a whole lot better than my other stryker now what i think ima do is like for my bday its in may if i get enfu money i may upgrade my b stryker and put the same stuff in it or better stuff lol so ile have 2 planes and when my buddies come over they can take turns and ile show em how to fly it well thxs for all the help today i flew in winds... 21 i was scared... Lol i did good though and i lost a uhh... one of thoes wings and i got the one from the f-27b stryker and put it on there and i also lost the cockpit some how in the air lol my dad told me i dident no if he wasent there i would of been screwed if i went upsidedown Lol

Sounds like your having some great fun with your new plane. I remember when I was having all of those experiences which you are having now

So your going to upgrade your stryker B huh?.
I woulddnt discourage you from trying that at all. I just believe that it is much easier on the pockets to just get a whole brand new C version than buying all the parts needed to upgrade a B.

But hey more power to ya! again good to hear your doing great

Happy flying

xerl.

yeahh and what is the top left switch for and how do i program the controler to tell me if the battrey in the plane dead lol and i tried useing that radioshack thing on the charger but it keeps heating up and stops and i have to wait so i wonder what it does that lol but oyeah how long of a charge should i do?

hm that is where i cant help at all. i have never had a stryker C so i know zip about how the radio works.. you will need to check your manual or horizon hobby parkzone for that

as for the charger problem try this link
http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXUF47&P=V

i suspect that the item which you got from radio shack is under rated for what your lipo chargers need
this item fromtower hobbies should more than do the trick.

hope this helps, sorry i coulddnt be much help with the radio though. never had a stryker C you know.

Im just about finishing my F-16 build hehe i can wait

happy flying dude
