RE: ***** New E Flite F16 400 DF (Thunderbird Scheme) *****

Good idea with adding the spars. If you are leaving the gear off and landing on the grass you need to watch out for damage to the intake mouth, so you you may want to rig someting up for that. I...

RE: ***** New E Flite F16 400 DF (Thunderbird Scheme) *****

reaaz, you need to be careful with how much weight you are adding as the wing load will be too much and they will rip right off if you pull up fast. I have been happy with the with the 3 cell TP2600...

RE: So many planes to choose from...Habu, Stinson, Extra, or P-38?

Good to see you Wheelnut. You have a point, Ronin is quite a good pilot andcould make a paper bag fly. If you want to see a mediocre pilot, check out my videos! :eek:

RE: So many planes to choose from...Habu, Stinson, Extra, or P-38?

Nagata, I am in the same boat as you; I too am considering all three planes. I am also favoring the Habu but face the same major investment issues. I have the E-Flite F-16 EDF and really enjoy the...

RE: ***** New E Flite F16 400 DF (Thunderbird Scheme) *****

Nova, I use the High-Power setup and it performs well. Use a 60 A ESC and the recommended Delta-V 480 4800KVA EDF and the TP 2600Mah battery. You may be able to send in the old motor and get the...

RE: ***** New E Flite F16 400 DF (Thunderbird Scheme) *****

David, I am quite disappointed and upset with Horizon for discontinuing the F-16 so quickly (although others may say not soon enough). I recently ordered a replacement F-16 from my vendor and they...

RE: ***** New E Flite F16 400 DF (Thunderbird Scheme) *****

David, was there a reason why there was no working rudder designed for the F-16? I think it would add a bit more depth to the flight capabilities for such manuvers as knife edge fly-bys and 4 point...

RE: e-flite f-16

wpotter, thanks for your honesty. I hope I have a better experience than you with the 4800KV setup. I decided that the 4000KV won't do so I will upgrade to the high power setup. I'll keep it as a...

RE: Sukhoi Su-26M BNF by ParkZone

Wheelnut, I have no complaints about my Ember2, I love it; especially since I got my 2nd version frame and new ESC/RX. My first one's ESC died midflight 6 months after I got it I flew it so such. I...

RE: Sukhoi Su-26M BNF by ParkZone

Thanks for the feedback, Fern. I might just order a new fuseage and tail, for about $25. I would imagine that the replacement fuslage will be the new version. And for another $9 could order a new...

RE: e-flite f-16

Wpotter, I am working on putting a F-16 together. I also purchased the 60A ESC so I could go with the High power setup if needed. I called Horizon to ask some questions on battery charger...

RE: Sukhoi Su-26M BNF by ParkZone

Ferndale, what is the difference between the version 1 and 2? If it is "it can fly, it is version 2" then I must have version 1. Just kidding, I got mine early last November at the LHS and flew it a...

RE: E-Flite F-16 set-up

Thanks Steve. I will leave them out when flying and put them on when in the "hangar" with velcro. The field I fly in is a bit rough so better play it safe. I can always glue them in once I have a few...

RE: E-Flite F-16 set-up

Steve, I see that you have replaced the ventral fins on your F-16. I plan on belly-landing and if I install them I am sure they will get ripped right off. Do the fins actually affect the flight...

RE: E-Flite F-16 set-up

Chris, I just picked up the F-16 (original version) and the E-flite 60A ESC and plan on replacing the the stock motor with the Delta-V 4800KV before I fly it. I have a question on the servos; when I...

RE: **** @ Horizon! Again!

FEF, I get the same results with both batterires and even tried the 110Mah from my mCx. I think that something has a cold solder joint or there is a marginal chip. I haven't done anything with it for...

RE: Official Aerobird Swift Thread

RowdyJoe, I am glad you are having good luck and enjoying learning to fly the Swift, it will benefit you when you move on to a 4 channel. I never tried LiPo on the Swift, as I have 4 stock batteries...

RE: **** @ Horizon! Again!

Well, 6 months and my Ember 2 has died. I was flying it for about an hour this past Friday evening and it just quit in mid-flight. I played around with it to see if there was a bad wire or if the...

RE: Question about Parkzone T-28 and ailerons.

One bit of advice I would have to add is to make sure that before you fly that you make sure all the contol surfaces are flush when the trim controls are centered. Once you get used to flying it you...

RE: Question about Parkzone T-28 and ailerons.

The T-28 is a great aileron trainer but you can't expect to fly it without ailerons. The controls are just set up that way: with the throttle and rudder on the left stick and elevator and ailerons on...

RE: Official Aerobird Swift Thread

Dax, good to hear from you! You should blow the dust off the Swift and give it a go again. I finally got around to fixing all my Swift's problems and had it out for a few adrenalin filled flights.

RE: Official Aerobird Swift Thread

I agree with the Chief as everything he said about the plane is true, the Swift is marketed as an aileron trainer but there are better trainers out there. I wanted to step up from my Cub to something...
