RE: Extreme Flight 300 electric

Yeah, I am getting a set from Cliff at atlanta hobby - they are very nice to deal with there too.

Bob,

How are you planning on removing the old stab? I would be interested in hearing how...

RE: Extreme Flight 300 electric

I used CA. Can I use "debonder?" I have never used it before (I just pry my fingers apart when I glue them together).

Thanks for the input..

RE: Extreme Flight 300 electric

What do the different measurements mean? Did you see a drop in power and increase in voltage? My prolites don't hold the voltage as well as yours do (at least the one I tested with). Perhaps that...

RE: Extreme Flight 300 electric

Cool, you will love this plane. I wouldn't worry too much about the joiner issue, since it should be fixable with only a little work. (i.e. much less work than I now have to do) I like the "pins in...

RE: Extreme Flight 300 electric

Hey Neil, nice to see you're still around. I'll give the plane at least some credit for being able to fly with 1/2 of the tail missing.. You've got to get yourself one of these things..

I maidened mine today, and I had the elevator joiner come loose causing the elevator half to flutter and 1/2 of the stab to break off in flight!! I glued the joiner in per the instructions, and the...

RE: e-flite mini edge 540

The new TP2100 prolites are very nice and hold their voltage well. 10.4V at 27A. The mini edge really is a blast to fly.


Lee- That small battery might make the mini edge tail heavy. It...

RE: DA fixing DA50 lean carburetor problem?

Sounds great. I wouldn't touch anything either if I could get a 100RPM drop from peak.

RE: DA fixing DA50 lean carburetor problem?

Well, I have 22x8 props (menz, MSC, NX) and they turn from 7200 to 7000 RPM on the ground. This doesn't seem like too much prop since DA recommends not going much over this RPM. I also can't seem...

RE: E-flite Brushless 400 Temperatures?

I use a heat sink on mine. After the first flights without one, the motor was too hot to touch. I did use throttle management (100W average power but over 200W peak pulling out from torque rolls:D)...

RE: Mini Funtana Tailwheel?

Do you fly off grass or a paved runway? I use the stock skid and it is fine for grass. I doubt that a small tailwheel would do anything for me. I can still taxi off the runway, etc. You just need...

RE: Finally the Mini Funtana is Flying!

I have the standard power setup (Park400, stock GB, stock 12x6, TP2100) and can go vertical from knife edge in low rates at nearly full throttle (rudder fairly close to recommended I think). I think...

RE: mini funtana motor

Many people (including myself) use the HS55 servos with the longer arms from servocity (not on their website, just call and ask). If you don't want to do 3D, the stock hitec arms are OK. I use a...

RE: Mini Funtana Gear Box Problems

Thanks for the quick reply. I was having startup chatter with the Himax 2015 in my foamy and I needed to switch off soft start to minimize it. I will try turning it on and see if the e-flite setup...

RE: 5945 "Too Tight"?

I am fairly certain that the cause is a tighter than normal motor. This makes the output of the servo seem quite a bit tighter, since the "tightness" is amplified by all of the gears. I took my...

RE: 5945 "Too Tight"?

Ok. I opened up one of the tight ones to see what was going on. It looks like the motor itself is what causes the "tightness" The apparent extra slop might be just because it takes more force to...

RE: 5945 "Too Tight"?

Thanks for the reply. It seems like something down the line in the gear train is tighter, because there is more noticable "slop", but the motion is tighter once it gets moving. On the smoother...

RE: dual servo aileron and dual servo stab help

I always use separate channels for each servo. I don't have the hitec programmer, and it is very nice to use the sub-trims and endpoints for each servo to get the center and travel of each control...

RE: 5945 "Too Tight"?

Any word on these servos?? I have 2 out of 4 that exhibit the same behavior you are seeing. I bought them in groups of 1 and 2, and I did get the 2 about the same time as yours. I am about to fly...

RE: 5945 smoothness?

Thanks. I already have the endpoints set pretty far out, so I am using much more than the normal servo travel already. It could be that these servos just have a tighter control loop than I am used...
