Good 3D Park Fly.

Hi All.

It's great to scan through and see some of the great kit your all playing with, and there seems to be far more available over in the US than here in the UK.

I'm looking for a good...

RE: Hummingbird 3D Pro Gyro Mount

Thanks Warren.

Took the kids away so only started looking at things last night and only got as far as soldering everything up on the ESC, Battery and Carge leads so I hope to tackle the heli...

Hummingbird 3D Pro Gyro Mount

Hi Folks.

I've just bought one of these as my first indoor heli, having only flown 50 and 60 size nito machines before now.

One thing that isn't clear is where the best place is to mount...

RE: VIP

Hi Folks.

I've just bought one of these, well at least I assume it's the same model, couldn't really see much more than a rather fast streak in the vid. [sm=lol.gif]

I was advised to stick...

Woooow chill guys.

Whether this is or isn't hovering, at least it's sparked some ideas.

RE: YT Freestyle Adrenalin

Cheers Archie.

Glad to hear they are keeping it light, like you say weight is critical with this sort of model.

Be great to hear how it flies and goes together.

I currently fly a...

YT Freestyle Adrenalin

Anyone flown, bought or built one of these yet?

Also any suggestions on motor etc gratefully received.

Cheers.

RE: What size engine are you using in your H9 Funtana?

Bluto

IMHO the 91 is the ight motor for this model. It's the best compromise of weight and power. Mine hovers at 1/3 thottle running Wild Cat 15% 4st fuel, so it looks like you ordered the right...

RE: What size engine are you using in your H9 Funtana?

Dean.

Last time you saw mine it had a 13x7 prop and the new 14X4w is a huge improvement.

Hope to catch you at the field soon.

RE: Help -Tuning MVVS 160 wih PerryPump (VP30)

I've now sold the plane and engine, but thanks anyway.

In the end Igave up on the CoG tank and went back to a non-pumped set up and all was well.

Cheers.

RE: What size engine are you using in your H9 Funtana?

Got to fly mine in slightly better conditions yesterday with the saito 91 and a 14x4w. It will hover at about 1/3rd throttle on 15%. That is plenty of performance and suggests to me that the 100 is a...

I've just found out that Flair, the uk distributor, is sending out replacement wing sets. They are even sending out a replacement model to someone whos model, apparently, went in with as a result of...

You've got to be philisophical about these things.

It was a great model to fly, which is why Dean was so eager to have it, but it just caused me too much grief.

RE: What size engine are you using in your H9 Funtana?

Great review.

I went with the .91 and I very impressed, plenty of power, and nearly 3 oz lighter that the 100.

Mine balanced with the rx pack just behind the throttle servo so a lot of the...

RE: GSP Katana 72"...DETAILED BUILD and 3D FLIGHT REPORT

Hi Dan.

This sound exactly like the problem that I had.

One way to try to get over this is to put a return in.

What you do is:- Stick a T-piece in the fuel line between the pump and...
