    Discussion powerlab 6 & 8

    Yeah, I've been working up some presets for my commonly used batteries for field use. I am very impressed with this thing, it's definitely satisfying to the inner geek.

    Discussion powerlab 6 & 8

    Just bought a PL6, and so far I am very impressed. I have a cheap little netbook that is dedicated to hobby uses (programming servos and ESCs, etc), so now it lives by the charger for management, graphing, etc. Very cool.

    Yippee! Throwing off the Winter Blues with a Raptor e720

    Is there anything Joe can't fly?

    Looking at a 60" class plane

    Thanks! My surgeon says the procedure will make a huge difference, so I'm hopeful.

    Looking at a 60" class plane

    I'm enjoying a particularly difficult bout with carpal and cubital tunnel nerve impingement, so I am taking my time. I've gone over every reachable joint with CA, mounted the motor and ESC, and I am working on the hinges now. I only get about an hour a day of useful working time before my hand...

    Cool pictures

    Might I humbly suggest re-naming this as the "cool planes picture thread", and thereby forgoing the whole brand war / separate threads issue set?

    Looking at a 60" class plane

    Airframe arrived today, in perfect shape. Excellent packaging job by EF. Build quality is superb. Can't wait to get this together :)

    Looking at a 60" class plane

    Motrolfly 4615/480 w/ fiberglass mount arrived in the mail today from Subsonic. Sweet motor! Got a shipping notice from EF, should have the airframe on Wednesday. So, I should have all the parts in about the time I go out for hand surgery. FML.

    ESC problems

    We won't really know that until you get some data :)

    ESC problems

    Do you have or do you know anyone who has the USB interface to the ICE Lite? The data logs should reveal much....

    Extreme Flight 60" Edge 540T Assembly

    Just ordered the 60" Edge in R/W/B, and the 4315/480. Can't wait to get started, using this excellent build log as a guide.

    Looking at a 60" class plane

    Did you need spacers and / or need to re-drill the firewall? Which mount option for the Motrolfly?

    Looking at a 60" class plane

    And the word is "at least 4-5 weeks". :facepalm: I guess the next option would be the Motrolfly 4315 in 480 or 500 kv on 6s.... Any thoughts from the more experienced folks?

    Looking at a 60" class plane

    Naturally, now that I've got the choice made, EF is out of he combo motor. I'll have to call them on Monday and see when they might be back in stock. :)

    Looking at a 60" class plane

    I've read thousands of pages on Internet commentary, watched videos, and measurebated this to death, and I've decided to go with the 60" Edge 540t from EF. My proposed setup: EF 60" Edge with recommended Torque motor and Airboss ESC (combo on the website) Hitec 5245s all around Glacier 3300...

    RC Radio Latency

    Hmm. Interesting. I stand corrected.

    RC Radio Latency

    I suspect there are very, very few people in the world who can hold a radio in their hands and show you the practical difference between a 50ms latency and a 10ms latency. In a way it is kind of like marksmanship. Some folks get all carried away over which pistol is capable of the smallest...

    48" Edge 540 Building, Flying, and Questions

    I like the way this thing elevators. Deadstick, it rocks the wings just a bit and falls slowly straight down. With just a tick or power, the wings lock in and it slowly descends in a very predictable manner. I'm flying the recommended setup (Omega 130 on 3S, 14x7, HS-65MGS all around). I got...

    48" Edge 540 Building, Flying, and Questions

    Maidened the 48" Edge yesterday, flew three packs through her. Needed a couple clicks of trim and it was spot on. Flies very nicely. :)
