    Sugesstions for a 60" EF 3D plane

    So Ryan.... Do I need 200 oz of torque.? Like the 5585's? 3DHS range is 150 to 350 oz torque. You are right on the weight....7.5 to 8.5 lbs..... 5585's were recommended? Sound reasonable...Running a Hacker A50-16sV3 with a ZTW 125 GECKO? Those do near 200 on 4.8V

    Sugesstions for a 60" EF 3D plane

    3dmater... Awesome suggestions! I will first clean the cf tube with acetone to remove any residual CF that may have gotten on there. To check the CF tube problem I can slide the tube on enough( 1 inch shorter) to approximate the left wing but not bottom out the tube if it was too long. I...

    Can't Fly With one wing bolted one. That is sort of a problem I thought, epically, someone on the forum might have had and some suggestions to locate the high spot without starting a ginding session and FUBAR a wing. I just mentioned weight as an oddity. The Wing is mission...

    Getting things straightened out on the MXS.... OK..so cut the Red and black BEC wires from the esc plug and then unplug servo wire from aux1 in RX. Then plug red wire that is wrapped with tape back into Airboss servo like lead and mount arming switch correct? Oh...forgot to mention Gary...he...

    Reattach the Airboss BEC? I'd prefer not to run it the way it is wired as to many things look awry besides the non arming. The casle Bec is wired into the ESC plug and thats two wires to come loose. Also....I have include some rather bad quality shots....I will get better ones tomorrow...

    Our Club is pretty "Anti electric" and the safety officer I talked to today said no Operational Arming switch-no fly at the field. Why would EF sell an ARF/Powerplant package that would not handle the servos....The Airboss 80 Elite is their top of the line ESC and has a 5A BEC.......I guess I...

    Yeah....they make it more docile for idiots like me! I picked mine up today and it was a "shotgun" purchase in a busy parking lot with the guy in a hurry. Plane was cosmetically perfect and I check for all parts (tips/ sfgs/aileron spacers and wing and sfg bolts)......Check! Plane looks to...

    What's Up With 3DHS??

    Australia is Close to CHINA..... Australia is close to China vs USA so its easiet to partial ship containers that distance and keep Supply Chain Mgmt tighter on much quicker transit times of the Container ships. Glad to hear it tho! Greg

    What's Up With 3DHS??

    I think that the "when they are in stock" is the crux of 3DHS's problem that leads to a cascade of other issues. What is "... good business for the Customers" is for Noll to "plan ahead" with the 8-10 years of 3DHS sales data and develop a methodology to reduce his OOS situation as, in this...
