RE: Airfoilz R3D Mini - Battery?

I recently got the R3D mini. I was able to get it down to 6.2 oz with battery. I'm using an Axi 2204/54, Thunderbird 9 amp, Berg 4L, and Bluebird 303 servos. The HS-55 servos may be on the heavy...

RE: GWS HD prop

I have the Axi 2204/54 and it came with an adapter sleeve that fits perfectly inside of the GWS 8X4 HD prop. I believe the motor originally came with 2 different sizes of adapters to use with the...

RE: Horizon Hobby Yak 54F, anyone fly yet?

Since there have been some recent posts on this plane I thought I would chime in. I have the E-flite Yak and it's OK but I do have some problems with it.

RE: PJS1000/battery????????????????/

I use the TP 2100mah Prolites 3S battery. Just don't use the stock hinges in the kit. Way too stiff and at first caused the power to cut out in about 3 or 4 minutes. Get some pinned hinges or the...

Futaba 7C vs. Hitec Optic 6

Don't you love these politically incorrect questions? The power of the internet in action!

Anyway, I'm trying to decide between a Hitec Optic 6 or a Futaba 7C radio. I only fly parkflyer or...

RE: P-47D eflight

Great post stoneenforcer.

We've had bad weather here recently so I haven't been able to fly yet with different props, etc. But I did break down and buy a Park 480 motor and an amp meter.

RE: P-47D eflight

Great post redgiki,

I agree the P-47 is a great airplane and a perfect parkflyer. One tip I have is to pin the cowling on rather than use the double sided tape. I just used 3 straight pins...

RE: EFlite P47D Issues? Answers?

Thanks for your reply hardrock. I am pretty much a newbie so maybe my expectations are too high. I do have the stock Parkzone F-27 Stryker that really scoots along about 45mph. I guess I expected...

I've got the P-47 set up with the Park 450 motor, 20A esc, and the TP 2100 mah battery. The prop I'm using is the 10X8E which the Horizon Hobby website implies is the correct prop for this set up. ...

RE: Balancing propellers

rmenke,

Thanks for your reply. I am using a TP 3S 2100mah battery and the E-flite 20-A esc and an 10X8E prop. The motor won't cut out but it just seems sluggish power wise. It won't really go...

Balancing propellers

I read a post elsewhere on this forum that propeller balancing is particularly important for electric motors. They said a prop that is out of balance really robs the power with electrics.

E-flite P-47 and Park 450 motor

I just got my new P-47 flying and it is a great plane. I have to admit though that I'm a little disappointed in the speed of the plane with the brushless E-flite Park 450 motor. I think the motor...
