RE: first tail-rotor heli question ?

Hobby Support Staff replied to my e-mail question confirming that the tail rotor does not kick on at start-up ; they said it kicks in at about 50 % throttle ... tested it today and it is exactly what...

RE: first tail-rotor heli question ?

Thanks for the input ... the people in these forums respond a lot faster than the manufacturer (still have not heard from them and it's been 24 hours) ... I suspected as much about the operation of...

first tail-rotor heli question ?

I am practicing with my CX2 to build up enough muscle memory (and courage) to try and get my Axe CP off the ground (Yeah, I tend to jump ahead and buy things a little bit up the line before finding...

HZ Firebird Freedom - mounting PenCamSD ?

Before I completely butcher my fuse, has anyone put an Aiptek PencamSD onto or into a Firebird Freedom ?

Looking inside of the fuse, I see 2 possible places to mount the camera (I was hoping for...

Hobby Lobby Quick Chargers a JOKE !

I have no problems with their planes (especially my Aerobird Xtreme), but those 12V quick chargers (???)...what a laugh !

I always start out with 2 fully-charged batteries. After using the first...

reversing and timing an electric motor ?

Ok, after reading lots of posts about "hopping up" the Superstar EP (aileron version), I am ready to purchase Kyosho Atomic Force with the GD600 gearbox and 3:1 pinion (I'm also going with the 11x6...

RE: Fix Aerobird Extreme or invest in a different bird?

Guess I must be lucky with mine right now, because this is THE plane right now for me. I was ready to give up on flying (only been at it for about 1-1/2 months), but then i bought the ABX and it's...

RE: Gas to Electric conversion guide?

Ok, I'm not trying to be a pain here, I just want to make sure I'm heading down the correct path.

Took the meter home and hooked it up to my still-being-built Slinger. The battery that I have...

RE: Gas to Electric conversion guide?

Matt

Thanks for the reply and the guidelines. I guess as I get further into the sport and get more experience, this will become second-nature.

As I sit here at work, I just had my Watt's Up...

RE: the final demise of the PZ Super Decathlon

Don't think it was interference. I fly my Aerobird Xtreme in the same place with no problems on its receiver, since both are 27 MHz. I just think the plane really did not like me. And, from what I've...

the final demise of the PZ Super Decathlon

Today was the day to finally see if the Super was going to stay in my "hangar". I had gotten a new fuselage, new tail assembly, new cowl and a new gearbox. At the advice of some of the posts online,...

Aerobird Xtreme CoG

I don't recall seeing this anywhere. Even though I suspect it comes out of the box just fine, I would still like to know what the correct CoG would be for the plane stock out of the box.

RE: Aerobird push-pull rod conversion help

Although it probably would be best to keep the rods within the tube, I don't see it as "set in concrete". I have an Xtreme (relatively new so I have not started mod'ing it yet) and, depending on the...
