    Extreme Flight 60" Laser Build Thread

    Would you consider soldering in servo wire or eliminating the plugs altogether from the extensions and making a solid connection. I've heard of people doing this, possibly on the BigFoot build log?

    Article: DOC AUSTIN - Testing: Hi Tec's New HS5070MH Servos

    Sure! Never flown at a fuel/gas field before. I've got a crazy schedule, so just let me know when you're going ahead of time and I'll come up.

    I'm glad you could use the video, Doc. The flight was phenomenal in person.

    3DHS --FLY LOW-- Always OFF TOPIC

    I'm jealous. Good luck with the X5! I started with helis, and then I ran out of money. I have a much harder time keeping those things flying for any extended period of time when compared to my fixed wing models.

    71" AJ Slick Building, Flying, and Questions

    Thanks, Ryan. I hadn't even considered loading a plane like that before. I thought it was going to have to load through the trunk and into the passenger compartment or not at all. Thanks to everyone for their input.

    71" AJ Slick Building, Flying, and Questions

    I have a simple (silly) question, does anyone mind telling me what the height of the tail of this plane is. I want to know if it's possible to carry 70" Slick in my car (Ford Fusion). That is, I can't determine that it's impossible to do. I tried searching, but came up short on information. Thanks

    3DHS --FLY LOW-- Always OFF TOPIC

    When I read about this plane and found he had fixed a tail rotor to this plane and I couldn't even conceive of what that meant. For all I knew the rotor itself was placed in the middle of the stab in place of the rudder. I've thought about what it might be like to install a 450 size main rotor...

    Radio Wars, Part 2

    I got my Airtronics SD-10G. Still haven't had the chance to fly it, but some interesting items (some of which are available from other radios I'm sure) include: I have the Ail servos assigned to the 1 and 8 ports on my receiver to my plugging and unplugging them easier for travel. It has a 3...

    Discussion Connectors; ESC to Battery. What Are You Using And Why?

    Here's another video I'm sure you've seen already. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MnldHRtjre8 As mentioned earlier, Airboss ESCs are supplied with Deans so I used them when I first got the Edge. I found the Deans wouldn't go together if the little spring got lifted by the mating connector. I...

    Doc, that plane looks killer. I can't wait to read the article. Let me know the next time you come down to the Silent Flyers field. The guys always tell me I need to see this one guy named Austin!!! Happy Flying

    Discussion How to Land a 3D airplane

    I went with the Edge when I heard that you get more low speed stability with a straighter leading edge. The SFGs on the EF 48"Edge are monstrous compared to my friend's SHP. I lets me hold it up off the deck until it slows down enough to touch it down. I just have to aim for the very beginning...

    Thanks! Flitetest is awesome. Now I need to find some monokote. edit: I was contemplating emailing EF and asking what specific colors to order. I decided to first search Extreme Flight color matching and it led me to my plane's owner's manual, which gives the exact colors by ultracote. Rock On.

    Very nice planes. Where are you located? Is that a 3DH Velox? How do you like it?

    Radio Wars, Part 2

    Hi Steve, I got the Thro-Thro hack from Doc Austin on another thread. I couldn't assign it to anything other than my Gear or 3 pos. switch. Also, I like arming the ESC in Throttle hold. Using the mix, the output would go to a negative value unless the stick was bottomed out. Not really problems...

    Radio Wars, Part 2

    9 Point throttle Curve and Throttle Hold in Airplane mode! I bet the SD-10 was even available when I bought my Derp-derp DX-7. don't get me wrong, I love my Spektrum, but dad-gum. I fly my Edge in Heli-mode so I can have a throttle curve and put the THold on my AUX 2 switch.

    Article: DOC AUSTIN - Testing: Hi Tec's New HS5070MH Servos

    I thought I'd attach some photos of my undercarriage refit. The highly flexible Mini Ultra-stick struts go a long way to protect the damaged structure. The region around the undercarriage did a great job absorbing all the damage from my maiden-crash (ahem, reversed ailerons... ask me about my...
