    Can a servo be too fast?

    Am I missing something? They can handle a 2s Lipo, but the output is a max of 6.5v?

    Can a servo be too fast?

    Flying RC stuff is a secondary or tertiary hobby for me. I enjoy it, I just have other stuff to do as well. I live in Minnesota, winter seems eternal, and last fall I decided I needed something cheap to do that didn't involve freezing my balls off. I got into indoor off road RC racing. I...

    Exhaust Gas Temp

    Two strokes have a lot of built in cooling just because of how the fuel works. Inefficient combustion so excess fuel carries heat out of the cylinder, and the excess oil also carries heat out. Start running the af ratio lean and the cylinder temps will blow a hole through the piston. I think...

    Who makes custom mufflers?

    I had jtec build one for my 35cc extra. They did a great job. That plane is smashed to a monokote bag of balsa, I might cut the nose off just behind the cowl and mail them the whole mess to make a new one. The muffler survived, but I think it could be done a little differently and dump the...

    Why Drones Are Scaring The Feds

    Where's the animal rights groups when you need them? Falconers have been used for years to keep birds away from airports, this seems a little dangerous to your bird going after hard propellers spinning at high rpm. I wouldn't want to do it.

    Why Drones Are Scaring The Feds

    Just the past seven years? I'm afraid it goes back much further than that since we tipped over the precipice of failure. I'm not a republican nor a democrat, both parties in modern times are one in the same in my eyes. The constant bickering and b.s. over topics that have zero affect on the...

    Why Drones Are Scaring The Feds

    The b.s. in the OP is just fear mongering amongst the sheep. This is nothing more than further expansion of the government. Keep voting in moron Republicunts and Demorats! This is what you get. Quit pretending to be surprised, it's boring.

    A More Effective Solution to the Drone Problem?

    I wonder if that will keep Airbus' from falling out of the sky?

    This won't help our cause at all....

    I'd be more worried about the consequences the owner would inflict after you just got done destroying their expensive toy. Or worse, what provides them with a livelihood.

    This won't help our cause at all....

    Where's the drone? I didn't see a predator or anything, just an octocopter likely on the event's payroll.

    Are you going to register with the FAA? Cast Your Vote!

    Probably. Predators and Global Hawks are all over the place.

    Petitioning AMA members for separation from drones

    LOL. Drone... Like we're raining fire.

    FAA Announces their rules for radio controlled aircraft

    If they have a remote in their hand and they are flying something, yeah part of the hobby. Their level of doucheness is a separate subject and what they fly has nothing to do with it. For every horror story there's likely tens of thousands that aren't notable in any way. Besides, people as a...

    FAA Announces their rules for radio controlled aircraft

    Not completely relevant, but to me a "drone" is military. Made for raining fire on whomever. "Drone" is just a hot button word the advertising whores use to sell advertising during the news. Whether a flying rc toy has a camera and can be operated through it it irrelevant. Whether it's a...

    FAA Announces their rules for radio controlled aircraft

    I'm a little disappointed in everyone's sane responses to this jack booted draconian law that has come pass. Anyone see the fines and consequences to not putting your SS stripe on properly? Up to a quarter of a million dollars and three years in the Stalag? Keep electing ass4oles, these are...
