    Sebart SBach 342 Build Log

    Resurrection of the thread! Went on another "Crack" buying binge and picked up a 50e NIB with a Hacker A50-16s NIB, Castle 100 Edge lite NIP and 4 Hitec Servos NIP. I need to get into rehab as I went motor shopping for the 58" 3DHS Edge Gryo found me and then BOOM 375 OTD delivered for a...

    New Here? Introduce yourself!

    Late intro! Hey guys....thanks for having an intermediate flyer on board amongst all you pros. I provide the comic relief at the field with "frequent erasers" so I have a hanger but have been flying a Carbon Z Splendor on 6S that, for me, is AWESOME. I also have a 48" EF 540 EDGE EXP to...

    What's Up With 3DHS??

    I can find 16mm x 13 ID x 1000mm the extra thickness won't affect the flight characteristics as it would be about 7 per cent heavier. I'll keep looking and leave 3DHS out of this. Thanks for the ID...16 x 14 is very common in 500 mm lengths. if it weighs 240 grams, eg, we are talking 17 grams...

    What's Up With 3DHS??

    Oh it's a blessing...I'll get a tube much stronger. And my wife hates me more than 3DHS- so its all good:cool: The karma is mine but it's missing from the sleeve in the wing bag. I'll just use pvc instead:deadhorse:

    What's Up With 3DHS??

    Gary...what's the Inside diameter on those? I can find 16mm all day long and just need the Inside diameter and get one 5x as strong as the China Fiber in ksi.

    What's Up With 3DHS??

    I should be able to source one once I know the length, diameter, wall thickness, modulus of elasticity and tensile strength.

    What's Up With 3DHS??

    It's 23 and 5/8's long I think according to a RCG source who I am buying a spare set of wings from..LOL..Irony is rich as I lined up a good deal on spare wings and then after taking inventory realized no CF tube...... Well it slowed my roll anyways...hehe.. Humbled I am... Greg

    What's Up With 3DHS??

    You guys get the last laugh at my expense. I brought bad Karma upon myself by ranting too much...My 3DHS came missing the CF wing tube. That's what I get for being a troublemaker..LOL! 3DHS has all the parts for the 58 Edge but no CF tube.. No manual either so I can not take total inventory...

    What's Up With 3DHS??

    Everbody Chill.... Firstly to the sponsored pilots I respect you and yur talents...I just mean sponsored in that you are not a consumer in the same way the average intermediate pilot is with your relationship to your sponsor vs me if I buy from them. Swede..I also respect your responsibility...

    What's Up With 3DHS??

    Bad assumption... 3DHS and EF are the most popular brands so their market share would be much higher. Too much business is always worse than too little when you can't fulfill what you potentially could. OK guys...my 3DHS 58 Edge just arrived in two days from Shannon at One Fine Helis-He...

    What's Up With 3DHS??

    Actually the victims are the clients who cant buy 80 per cent of what they advertise. Capitalism is different than Socialism.

    What's Up With 3DHS??

    Don't overcomplicate it. The Total Accessible Market is HUGE...Look at the FS of 3D AC on RCG and RCU-it's incredible how many planes that are built and FS as LPU's. I have no business degree(I have a Doctorate In Pharmacy) and dropped accounting while getting my BS in Chemistry(elective...

    What's Up With 3DHS??

    You are right.... They will survive in perpetuity . What was I thinking. When you have the " holy grail" brand; inventory and customer service are secondary considerations. I wish them the best with their "Hobby Business".

    What's Up With 3DHS??

    All businesses have Greditors. A Credit Card is a Creditor. The question is are they "behind terms" with their creditors and have they been cut off? No cash flow equals credit lines getting called in from banks and etc. But you are definitely focusing on the crux of the issue! They better...

    What's Up With 3DHS??

    "If they are going to shut the doors, it will be their choice." Not really..it will be their Creditors/Vendors decision. It's not inappropriate for me to say they have 89 per cent OOS inventory. It's a factual observation. My opinion it is an improperly run business. It's not an...

    What's Up With 3DHS??

    Business is business. If they are content not to stock AC they will go out of business. The problem is not enough staff. It's supply chain mgmt and scalability. These guys don't have a proper business model to scale up supply up to meet the demand. If they don't care and are satisfied...

    What's Up With 3DHS??

    That would make sense to slowly titrate new models, while maintaining core inventory; rather than let everything (89% for 3HHS) go out of stock and kill your Cash Flow. You don't let your inventory diminish to 11 per cent as your cash flow drops proportionally. Plus...no need to re invent...

    What's Up With 3DHS??

    Thanks AK.... I wondered where he went. We used to email back and forth a lot back in 2007 and I think he was still doing his Orthopedic Surgeon gig in TX and producing alot of awesome 3DHS flight vids back then. After my quasi rant above was thinking about HOW I would run EF or...
