RE: Larger Revolver

RE: Larger Revolver

RE: Larger Revolver

I think a Xoar 15x10 will be much lighter than the APC. I have two of the 15x10 props but haven't tried them yet. The Zoar in that size is a bit hard to find. I got mine from here.

Microdon

The Mintor was $248.00 delivered which was less than the DLE 20. It can be bought from either Top Dawg Aviation or Chief Aircraft. It weighs within an ounce of the DLE and has the same...

RE: Larger Revolver

LOL. The DLE20 is plenty for this plane. This particular DLE20 has been giving me trouble. I bought it new and it has never run to my liking. It has a tendency to quit on me during flight. Top end is...

RE: Larger Revolver

All my gassers 20cc to 55cc have A123 batteries for receiver/servos. I've never had any issues with my servos being powered at 6.6 volts. I always use a 4.8 battery for the ignition. Some guys like...

RE: Larger Revolver

All of my gassers utilize a 2 battery system. I run a 4.8 volt 2000 mAh Eneloop battery for the ignition and a 2300 2S 6.6 volt A123 battery for the receiver.

Some guys will run both receiver...

RE: Larger Revolver

One method of checking CG when I don't have someone to help out is to use a string. Using the suggested CG location (5 1/2" in this case) I mark a small ink dot on the top of each wing right next to...

RE: Larger Revolver

I was making a CG check on the plane. The manual says the CG is 5 1/2 inches back from the wing leading edge against the fuselage. By my measurements that puts the CG just about right at the leading...

RE: Larger Revolver

Orthobird

Indeed it is sad to lose a plane on the maiden flight.

I looked up the specs on the DS 8231 and saw it gives 88 oz. torque on 4.8 volts. and 113 oz. on 6.0 volts plus being...

RE: Larger Revolver

I put mine at the factory cutout locations, one on each side of the fuselage. I used JR heavy duty switches. They are part number JRPA001.
