I've also used Hitec HS65HB, probably too heavy but the torque will be there to...

RE: AeroCat Fast Pusher *70 MPH*

Check the magnets on the outrunner. I can only speak from my own experience but my SpinMax 2212-6 "let go" of two magnets and I had similar difficulties with the motor. I simply took it apart and...

RE: Let's start a GWS line.

I was initially hesistant in getting a GWS plane due to the "coffee cup" foam construction and cheap price by a Chinese company. After giving a Formosa II a try, I really enjoy this plane. Although...

RE: AeroCat Fast Pusher *70 MPH*

My Aerocat was recently shot down by enemy AA fire. I was on a "mission" and took several hits to the airframe with the final/fatal blow hitting the aileron.

But seriously though, I had a bad...

Mission aborted.



After spending many hours on the work bench getting the retracts to work, real world testing revealed that this gear set up is not practical for this type of plane.

RE: AeroCat Fast Pusher *70 MPH*

The "retract project" has hit some bumps. The nose gear is a weak link in the system. The turning mechanism is poorly designed with weak plastic. It's got too much flex. Being that the battery is...

RE: AeroCat Fast Pusher *70 MPH*

Forgive the pun: It's a jet with the 2212-6. Literally out of sight vertical flight in 10-12 seconds (3S 2100)...don't fly on a cloudy day with low lying clouds!

Scott: Can I run 5 servos on...

Scott,
Those look like some real nice retracts. The only problem is that they are $58 too much for my AeroCat!
