    Power systems/ Hitec A9?

    If your servos don't center properly, then that is an issue with the servo. Bottlenecking is not an issue, like I said we have guys running the setup I described without issue, even up into the 40% class. We have guys running a y-harness inside each wing as well. Spencer Nordquist has 2 servos...

    Power systems/ Hitec A9?

    Make sure you have the latest firmware in your Optima 9 before you run the optical kill. If all is good, then run the optical kill and plug in a pair of y-harnesses into the receiver to give you some space to run your 2 receiver batteries into. We have pilots doing that with zero issues...

    Night Flying

    You're going to need more than that most likely ;) I recently did up a buddies Carbon Cub for him to fly at Joe Nall. I ran 1 strip across the top of each wing panel, 1 strip across the bottom on both sides, 1 strip down the length of the fuselage on each side, and 1 strip ontop and on bottom...

    Aerobeez 70″ Slick PRO Step By Step Build Guide

    Have you guys ran into any issues with the 5645MG and Santi putting the airplane through its paces? Reason I ask is there are some brass gears inside that might not tolerate someone who is aggressive (as in not smooth) on the sticks. I have. A couple of buddies are looking at it, it's a slick...

    7954 Issues

    Not really. That's why they have the heat sinks, they dissipate heat through the heat sink. There's any number of countless variables that could make a servo want to fail so to say exactly what your cause is isn't entirely certain. A 35% airplane with long 3D arms and big control throws on the...

    It was cloudy and cool here today, probably low 60's as the high. Bit wet in the morning with some light winds. Finally flew for the first time in over a month since my Yak crash!! Just the foamy to futz with. Too bad I stripped my elevator servo in flight, and only inches off the deck so I...
