    35CC 3D Plane

    4330 is a whole lotta motor for the velox, 4325 is already a bit overkill

    12S power systems ideas and options

    i would think so. on 50cc electric setups i try to use 10awg wire, but i would think good quality 12awg would be ok

    they do have something, but the words "significantly cheaper" and "mks" dont mix very well

    Discussion Gas vs. Electric

    most definitely. i was assuming that you already had a 30cc electric with my post :D the nice part of the hobby is choices and its just about whatever floats your boat

    Discussion Gas vs. Electric

    the problem is that argument doesnt make sense. if you invest for the equipment for a 30cc electric setup (charger, batteries, etc.) then a 50cc electric plane is much more practical. (6s5000 for the 30cc, 2x 6s5000 for the 50cc and the same charger for both). now 50cc electric flies very very...

    Discussion Gas vs. Electric

    i am in the camp that a 30cc 3d plane flies better electric than gas. but that is merely an opinion. the general pros/cons you will get: gas pros: longer flight times, no need for big charging setup, fuel flip fly (no waiting on charged packs or cost of having a larger number of packs)...

    Bavarian Demon Cortex

    i believe that is it. if you go to the store, the stuff that is held on to the sticky side that you peel off has "vhb" on it

    Bavarian Demon Cortex

    i believe i was told by danny (bavariandemon usa) to not use the thick pad at all, even on the gassers. i sold a few planes that had my demon in it, so i had to switch planes and buy new tape. per dannys recommendation, i bought 3m clear vhb at my local homedepot. pretty cheap stuff

    12S power systems ideas and options

    thank you. i have seen so many people saying "this esc gives me 100 more watts than that esc, so it must be better". it could be an inefficiency that is causing that, basically meaning that you are pulling more amps with no added benefit. but it could also be the complete opposite. rpm is a...

    Discussion Choosing an air frame----frustrations!

    first of all, i have never had an issue, and while im not has hard as joe or other top guys, i can put an airframe through the wringer decently. secondly, if all i have to do is a very minor strengthening of 1 part for the best airframe for me, then that is no problem. the best advice i have...

    Discussion Choosing an air frame----frustrations!

    there will always be things out of stock. there will always been new airframes on the horizon. but good designs are good designs and should be gotten when you can. i still think the 3dhs 87 shp and 72 extra are two of the best airframes out there, even with "newer technology" available, and so...

    E-Flite Power 360

    ive just been nothing but dissapointed in eflite motors for 3d performance. the motrolfly sure looks hard to beat, and with only a few flights on my q80, that thing is a stump puller. if i ever do another 50cc it will have the motrolfly, but it sure is nice that there are at least 2 options out...
