I bought the RichTop Large Cessna(wingspan 61.4") but I'm looking for bigger if made in a RTF format. With our Kansas winds the bigger seems to work a whole lot better. Does anyone have any source to...

What do you think is the best RTF, preferably foam, mid-wing trainer? I think I'm ready to move to a mid-wing but I'll be on my own so I'm looking for a good durable and easy to fly model.

RE: ESC or Motor problem?(video)

Thanks!

I checked the wiring and found the blue wire unplugged between the motor and ESC. Plugged it back in and now it works.

RE: ESC or Motor problem?(video)

Sorry if I show my ignorance here, but, how do you change/program the ESC timing? I'm new to the RC scene. I used to fly some 20 years ago but things have changed a lot since then.

ESC or Motor problem?(video)

My E-Flite Apprentice 15e has a problem I'm not sure if it is the ESC or motor. When you give it throttle the motor flips back and forth instead of turning in one direction. Here is a video. Any...

RE: RealFlight model editor?

Thanks jzrf6c,

I'll give them a call. I looked the RF editor over at lunch but still only saw the option to change the motor to electric no specifics to change the power/torque

RealFlight model editor?

I've got RealFlight G5.5 and had a few questions about the ability to edit models. I tried changing the engine type on a 182 Cessna to electric but it didn't have enough power to even takeoff. I...

RE: Blade mCX2 question

I have both the CX2 and the mSR X and find the mSR X much easier to fly. A lot more durable as well LOL. I've gone through 3 top rotors already on the CX2 and none of the mSR X and I fly the mSR X a...

RE: A bit disappointed in the Dynam Sky Trainer

I really like the Dynam Sky Trainer(50" wingspan) design as well. Nice clean lines. I've had them all out flying and the 182 flies well but fast. Requires a much faster taxi speed to liftoff than the...

RE: A bit disappointed in the Dynam Sky Trainer

I generally do what I call trimming on them before I go for any flying. I do a visual inspection and control test and then take them out and do some taxiing and short liftoffs to set the trims. I...

RE: A bit disappointed in the Dynam Sky Trainer

Well I got all my birds ready. The bigger Dynam Sky Trainer(50" wingspan) was a little easier to build but I still feel it should be rated a ARF rather than a RTF. Really love the lines. Looks like...

RE: A bit disappointed in the Dynam Sky Trainer

Got them both from a place in Arizona. They sent me an email today, which I was happy to see, asking me to identify whether it is a ESC or motor issue and they would "make it right". I put the...

A bit disappointed in the Dynam Sky Trainer

Got my Dynam Sky Trainer yesterday and I must say I was disappointed. First off this being a "RTF" for some reason I was expecting a Ready To Fly rather than a ARF. There was a good 2 hours work...
