    Discussion Choosing an air frame----frustrations!

    The RJX servos are probably the way to go if you feel you need the best performance. They are stupid fast and powerful. Also, they now have a version that is even better for these airplanes, the FS-0390. They do not require mount modifications, and are geared differently for more torque (168...

    Twisted Hobbys 32" Crack Laser!

    Glad you love the Laser. The original Extra Slick is definitely cool. Brad made all of those kits in his basement. Not quite competitive with what we have now, but for its uniqueness and hand-made qualities it is collectible and makes a great wall hangar.

    Cost comparison, budget 60cc versus top shelf 30cc

    This is true. If it weren't we would have seen them on 100's/150's back in the day.

    Motor mounting question

    On most foamies running 0-0 (0 degrees down thrust, 0 degrees right thrust) is fine. If you feel like you need it, add a mix in your radio for about 5% right rudder to full throttle and this will achieve pretty much the same thing. Are you building from plans or designing yourself? If you are...

    Radio Wars, Part 2

    Pretty much all the systems work great most of the time. Pick based on support, price, and most importantly features and programming.

    Cost comparison, budget 60cc versus top shelf 30cc

    This is why cubic loading was invented: http://www.ef-uk.net/data/wcl.htm This question has different answers depending on what your mission is. If you want to fly hard and practice 3D/XA/precision, go for a good 30cc plane. Invest them time in making it work well. The EF 78 Extra...

    Discussion Freestyle Routine Music

    To make a fun, pleasing freestyle mix: - Cut your music after or before a chorus/section of a song, not just based on time. I can't stand when someone's music cuts out right after the intro to a song or something because they needed another 25 seconds of music and didn't care about how it...

    Twisted Hobbys Crack Laser, with a few new build tips

    The Blue Wonder will fly a Crack Yak but there are much better motors out there now. I prefer the Crack Series 26 gram on the Crack Yak. The Laser rolls a little differently than the Crack Yak. It has a faster roll rate that is not as affected by throttle as much as the Crack Yak. With the...

    Servo setup: EPA, current, and linkages

    Just bind up the second receiver like the first one. It will work fine. With two-way receivers like the Hitecs range is usually reduced when running dual receivers but it makes no difference with the 6208's. If you ever feel like you want more redundancy and less resistance, you can go to two...

    Servo setup: EPA, current, and linkages

    Another option is to add a second receiver if you have another 6208 kicking around. Put the rudder and throttle servo on one receiver and the ignition on the other, use two batteries with two switches, and two or three leads into each receiver. You will have as much current capacity as a power...

    Servo setup: EPA, current, and linkages

    It's probably the fact that you only have one lead going into your receiver. Go to a 6014HS receiver which has more ports. Then plug in both battery connections. Alternatively, use a Y-harness or two like Joe said. Try putting a volt meter on an output from the receiver, and push on one of...
