RE: Which one Arghhhhhh!!!!

whats your budget, and exactly how big is your flying space? foamys are OK, the flatouts are rubbish, if you want a decent foamy you can go wrong with a standard ikarus shcoky. However, if you have a...

RE: Can Anyone help?

Sounds like a bad setup to me. Heat is only ever made by over amping.

Im guessing the heli is collective pitch? if so, use this setup on the ESC:

Insensitive current draw

RE: Can Anyone help?

RE: Aileron flutter Fliton Inspire 60, what now?

ball link at the servo end is IMO a very good idea, a clevis cannot bend in the up/down plain, so as you move the aileron, the hight of the control horn relative to the servo arm changes. This means...

RE: Extreme Flight RC Yak 54 - 74 inch!
