JR 922 Powersafe receiver

I like the idea of two batteries wiring directly to the receiver. The question I have is how do you charge the batteries? Do you have to disconnect the batteries each time you need to charge?

RE: When to "Draw a Line"?

If you can, try to attend an IMAC judging school in your area. It will help immeasurably in your understanding of the requirements of all the maneuvers. In fact it will make you aware of just how...

RE: Lighter flies better?

One thing that seems to be missed here is that you are talking about two different things. 3d performance has nothing to do with the way a plane flies. 3d requires nothing more than favorable power...

DX7 programming

I'm trying to setup a DX7 for a pattern plane using 2 channels for aileron, and 2 channels for elevator. I'm using the flaperon wing type for the ailerons and a programmable mix for elevator. I do a...

RE: GP Cap 580 1/3 scale

Yes it is a recover of a G.P. Cap 580, but modified in the process. The plane is powered by a 3W 106 with canisters in the fuselage. I will try to get some photos together that show the details of...

RE: Peter Goldsmith Articel & Dynamic Balance

The idea is to pull hard enough to load the airframe with several G's. Doing this will cause the difference in mass between the two wings to be amplified. So, the harder you pull, the more any...

RE: Lateral balance confusion

One problem with using the spinner is the engine crankshaft becomes a pivot point. Most planes have right thrust built into them so the engine may not give you a true center line. I usually put a...

RE: 40% too big?

Stu,

One of the arguments that I've heard for larger aircraft is that they present better. That is true to a point, but if the plane is flown far enough away, it looks as small to the judges...

40% too big?

RE: 33% 260

Is the fuselage set up for cannisters? If not, is there room for mods?

RE: Venus II w/ OS .91FX??

Mike,

I'm on my 2nd Venus II. Lost my 1st one in a mid-air. I ordered a new one the same day. I'm flying mine with an O.S. 120 surpass III 4 stroke, which is a very good engine for this...

RE: Redesigned 28% Extra 300 Build / Questions

I've been looking at this plane for awhile and it looks like a candidate for a 3W-56 twin. Can someone give me the cowl dimensions? I'm interested to know if the twin will fit in the cowl.

RE: Venus II

Todd,

On my 1st Venus II (crashed due to a mid-air) I used an O.S. 120 Surpass III pumped 4-stroke on a Gator soft mount. With the rudder servo in the tail and a single elevator servo above the...

RE: Freestyle SOS!!!

I will say that "freestyle" flying can be more crowd pleasing than precision competition. It's similar to going to a full scale airshow and watching Kirby Chambliss or Mike Goulian perform vs. going...

RE: Freestyle SOS!!!

I agree with Sweetpea, it's a time thing. A well attended contest can be difficult enough to manage without throwing a "fun fly" in the middle of it. Don't get me wrong, freestyle can be fun to...
