LOL I heard this saying one time before "If the music is too loud it means you are too old!"

Sorry can't get Youtube out here.



J/K Steveeace:

And you're saying this to a rocker that used to play through either a Peavey "Super Festival" series 400 watt (RMS) full stack, or a Marshal JM900 full stack??? NOT!!!!

Also...the comment was...with "my" sound system......my computer sound system will rock my home..... (but is was a bit of a shock...)

Well I was thinking you "USED to be" a rocker. I've heard tales that you have some pretty awesome sound set ups. Disclaimer here I did not watch the video (can't get youtube) so I don't know how loud it really was. Just giving you a hard time Steve, didn't mean anything by my previous comment. eace:

That's the hard part for me...even after several years of flying this size of airframe. Even though my 74' Edge and 70" Slick are by far my best flying planes, I get more enjoyment from my smaller ones because I can relax. I think that the 51"-59" planes are the balsa sweet spot for me. EPP has the highest fun/$$$ ratio by far though.


A long time ago I made some cockpit templates from actual photos of a Slick cockpit (thank you Slick Aircraft Company! ). 3DHS has been generous enough to host the photos for those that want to make a virtual cockpit. I just made mine out of Depron with the photos taped to it with clear packing tape. I added a wooden support for the pilot and she was good to go!

She??????????

 

[AZAerobat]

She??????????

Jim I think he was referring to the plane as she not the pilot but I am just guessing here. I refer to all of my planes as she.

Going with 7954 high voltage servos in my slick. Can't wait to see how they are going to feel. Changing out the 7985s.

Was this a result of the servo problems you had been having a month or so back?

[losifanatic]

Yeah. There is a little more to it that just that.
Got the 7985s fixed by hitec andhe velox needs better servos. So I'm putting the 7985s in the velox and going to put a set of the 7954s in the slick. Figured the slick is a bit heavier so it should get the stronger servos. Plus l get to try an hv servo

 

[gyro]

Cool, interested to hear what you think after its all done

Can anyone give me a link to the servo arms that would work best for this plane with savox 1258TGs? Thanks in advance
