Wow, the seems like an ugly plane. I'm sure it does what I want, I read some reviews and watched some videos, but ick, I wish it looked better.

RE: FAST 3d plane

RE: FAST 3d plane

Hmmm, the Showtime does look good, however, I can find no testimony and no videos about WOT dives and max speed passes... I'm just looking for a plane that can handle that, if the Showtime can then...

I'm at about 300 ft above sea level here...

I'll check out the Extra and the Showtime, I've heard of the Extra but never the Showtime, it will give me a little something to research.

Most manuverable fast plane?

Hey all.

My friend and I fly together quite a bit up here in Alaska and we dont really get to see many other people flying, so I dont have a very good grasp on what is out there.

What we...

RE: FAST 3d plane

Eh, I dont want a racer, I want something that is a good mix of both.

Anyone know if the Hangar 9 Sundowner can do decent 3D? I know it looks nice and fast, but I've been reading people can...

RE: FAST 3d plane

Or maybe I'm asking the question wrong.

RE: FAST 3d plane

Yeah, I'm just trying to avoid having to haul 2 seperate planes to the field. My buddy and I go in the same truck and we really only have room for one plane each.

My .91 OS will spin a 16x6 very...

FAST 3d plane

Hey all.

I've got a Twist .60 from Hangar 9, but my problem is it just doesnt go fast enough. My friend flies a fast plane and when we compare mine is like a bus and his is like a Ferrari.

RE: Two motors at once?

Thanks. I dont really think the ground effect flying will be that hard. Normally the hardest part of getting something into ground effect is the drag from the water, most ground effect vehicles are...

RE: Two motors at once?

I did already know that, but I dont mind reading it again. I got into electronic flight about 6 years ago when I bought my IFO, so it has been a while since I've really done any research on it.

RE: Two motors at once?

Ah true, I hadnt though of that, good to know.

I really havent done much with electronics in RC. I know the basics but nothing that detailed, I'm pretty sure my IFO that I fly around now doesnt...

RE: Two motors at once?

Cool, that helps a lot. I wish I was ordering the parts right now, but for the moment I'm trying to get things figured out and then I'm ordering everything.

Kind of sucks being up in Alaska......

RE: Question on powering two motors at once

Thanks.

I deliberately left out some information as I dont really want to scavenge my batteries/motor/esc off my working IFO to power something else. I hate having to switch everything around...

So how would I wire that?

Obviously the one motor for thrust would be set up normally... battery to ESC to motor, with a wire also going from the ESC to the receiver. So would I have to get a...

RE: lipo question for the experts

It sounds as if you already have some lead weight in your plane for adding weight reasons?

If so, adding a heavier battery with twice as high as a mah and removing some lead will basically...

Powering two motors on the same RC

I'm building a RC hovercraft and am not real experienced with electronics, I've always used nitro for power in the past on things I built.

With that said, I've got a motor/esc/LiPo that already...

RE: New Hanger 9 p-51 mustang **Trainer?!?**

As far as needle settings go on the Evo .46, with both high and low speed needles, this is what I recommend.

Warm your engine up. Rev to full throttle for 5 seconds or so, then pinch the fuel...

RE: New Hanger 9 p-51 mustang **Trainer?!?**

Did you ever use one of those devices that test actual air speed on your plane to see exactly how fast it went?
