RE: F27 STRYKER Part 7 : The Basics To The Darkest of Dark

All,

Curious about what sorts of things could cause a power outtage in a Stryker (or any plane for that matter). Yesterday while flying my Styker (stock) using a 2200 11.1V battery (Deans...

RE: Electrajet or Stryker?

I have given up buying LiPo's at my LHS. I try to buy everything else from them (new planes, servos etc) but when it comes to batteries, there are too many other, better choices.

For my...

RE: Electrajet or Stryker?

Ah, gotcha. I am acronym challenged :-). Honestly, the Stryker is very fast but you can throttle it back a bit and fly it in a park if you wanted to. For the extra $69.00 seems that parts...

RE: Electrajet or Stryker?

I did a Google search for NOS Electrajet and didnt come up with anything. There is an Eflite Electrajet out there but that is a park flyer with top speeds of "17 - 20mph" according to their site....

RE: F27 STRYKER Part 7 : The Basics To The Darkest of Dark

What are you guys using to replace your stock Ailerons? The stock ones seem to flex quite a bit and if not handled/stored correctly you end up with them being up at one end and down at the other...

RE: Battery Connectors

I use only Dean's but as a Ham Radio operator soldering is not a problem for me. I actually enjoy it.

That being said, I made the mistake of buying some bulk Dean's from the Internet and they...

RE: F27 STRYKER Part 7 : The Basics To The Darkest of Dark

Too bad you guys dont live closer to Vegas. As the chairman of our yearly all-electric SuperFly I think it would be an awesome sight to see a squadron of Stryker screaming thru the skies. We get...

RE: First flight with Mini Pulse XT

RE: F27 STRYKER Part 7 : The Basics To The Darkest of Dark

My wife finished my paint job on my new Stryker and I am rebuilding it to try and fly tomorrow. I have the AR6200 now instead of the AR6100. Anyone have any recommendations on where to put the remote...

RE: F27 STRYKER Part 7 : The Basics To The Darkest of Dark

CP,

I second that. I lost my Stryker last weekend with my AR6100. There is a carbon fiber spar in the wing and where you typically mount your receiver it blanks it when you are flying towards...

RE: F27 STRYKER Part 7 : The Basics To The Darkest of Dark

RE: F27 STRYKER Part 7 : The Basics To The Darkest of Dark

So as I look to rebuild my Stryker after the AR6000 glitch, I have not been able to find a F27C body. I have seen the "B" body unpainted for a good price. Is that the same as the "C" but not with the...

Anyone running their Stryker with a Spektrum AR6100e? I have flown mine about 20 times and this morning I was flying and lost it. I was doing a fly by at 1/2 throttle and was going to turn left and...

RE: connectors

Always female on the battery so you dont run the risk of shorting it when you throw it in your bag/field box.

Not sure on the DX6i but there isnt one on the DX7 :-(. One thing you may want to look at is a higher capacity battery. I have one from Maxamps for my DX7 and while it was a painful and expensive...

RE: Radar Gun for Planes?

RE: Radar Gun for Planes?

I have seen some Stalkers on eBay for considerably less than $700. Since we are a non-profit club and the SuperFly is a fund raiser, there is no way I can spend that kind of $ on a gun. Are all...

RE: parkzone f27-c stryker

What battery are you guys running on the Stryker? I have a few 2100's from different manufacturers and I can really tell a difference between them. I am thinking of getting some new 2200's to try...
