    For Sale: Futaba 8FG transmitter

    8FG transmitter buyer also has the option of purchasing any one or more of the following FASST receivers. Receivers that are "test flown" were done so in my vibration free electric planes. R6208SB 8-Ch + S-bus (like new, under warranty, test flown, perfect) $90 R617FS 7-Ch (new, under...

    Extreme Flight 70" extra

    Man oh man, that is so funny. Doesn't he know that his plane won't fit through the hole in the wind sock?:D

    Extreme Flight 70" extra

    Good deal, this plane does indeed do nice harriers and rolling harriers. My harrier landing was effectively a dead stick, as I shut the motor off after hearing excessive vibration from the broken prop. Now that the "new" is worn off I'll be pushing this plane a lot harder:) I've only been...

    Extreme Flight 70" extra

    Midair at HMRC on video Phooey. My nice new shiny A60-7S electric powered 70" Extra 300 EXP is down for repairs after a midair with Mike Bivens 119" 330SC at yesterday's HMRC Fly (Corryton / Knoxville, TN). All caught on a spectators phone-cam: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=egY-mZ0DzaU...

    Extreme Flight 70" extra

    I've just put 5 flights on mine and I'm loving it. Can't add much to your flight report as it would just be a carbon copy. The 70 EXP is very stable at all speeds and tracks like she's on rails. No mixes needed as there is insignificant to zero KE coupling (CG on mine is set very close to...

    For Sale: Futaba 8FG transmitter

    I tried telem back when I had a DX8 and used it to monitor the drive LiPo. But the budget LiPo packs I tend to use gave false telem alarms at WOT as the pack voltage would sag under heavy loads etc. Anymore I just time my flights. After I put several hundred flights on a new 3D frame, I kind of...

    For Sale: Futaba 8FG transmitter

    Futaba 8FG-Super 14-channel transmitter (mode-2) in excellent condition, lightly used, near mint, and still under factory warranty until October 2013. Still has factory protective plastic on LCD display as I never removed it. Bought this for a back-up radio and it has several 3D planes already...

    ZTW "B" Series 65A ESC

    Don't know what motor you've got, but I've found AUTO to work very well with my Hacker 28 pole motors (a pair of A60-7s V2 on 10s). Hacker recommends 25°, and I tested the ZTW ESC fixed timing settings of both 20° and 30°. Didn't see a gnats eyelash hair of difference in performance on the...

    ZTW "B" Series 65A ESC

    OK, I connected the card to the B-series 120A OPTO ESC's throttle lead (all 3 connections intact), then powered up the card from a 2S LiFe pack (6.7 VDC under the rather miniscule load). No go, the PWM on the signal line occurres only briefly when the card is first powered up, then no further...

    ZTW "B" Series 65A ESC

    No, you're right. The ZTW OPTO ESCs' don't supply power to the programing card. I powered the card from a 5v. NiCad pack, and the ESC from the drive system batteries. Looking at the output of the card with an oscilloscope, there is an initial burst of negative going PWM like pulses at power up...

    ZTW "B" Series 65A ESC

    I own several A series but only one B series ZTW ESC, and it's the OPTO 120A. All these ESCs' have been flawless and eldest in the buch is a good 2 years old. Has anyone used the B-series program card with a B-series OPTO ESC? I just pick up a program card and the only action I get out of it...

    HS-5245MG failure

    Thanks for the headsup. Opened up some of my 5245s', and they look like your RH photo the best I can tell. There's a number stamped into the inside of the upper case, and from your photo's perspective this would be just above the upper gear-pin cup at the angled shoulder area; HS205T on...

    60" Laser-EXP

    I'm actually an hours drive N. of Knoxville, TN, out in the sticks of a small farming community (Sharps Chapel). So it's 16 miles one way to a grocery store, but only 0.2 miles to a friendly neighbor's 100 acre hay field for daily 3D practice:) I'll mark my calendar for Bowling Green. Thanks!

    60" Laser-EXP

    Excellent rpstar, that would be great. I'm chopping at the bit for a Laser after getting a taste of the fine EF quality (just received an EF Extra kit). Wish I could make it down to SEFF from N. of Knoxville, TN. Will definately be shooting for next year:)

    3DHS 70" Velox

    Ah, good to hear the 770's are working well. The Solar servos do appear to be of fairly good quality. I'm just always wondering about how well the motors will hold up in the less expensive servos. A friend's plane went in due to a servo failure, and I tore into it (Tower Pro MG16R) to see what...

    3DHS 70" Velox

    How are the Solar D771 servos holding up? I've got a set of the mini servos (Solar D654) in a foamy and can't find a thing wrong with 'em. Only 150 something flights on 'em so far though, so time will tell.

    Techone Swift

    One thing I didn't see mentioned in the Swift manual is the thrust-line. The ply motor mount on my model is perfectly straight. If your model pulls left on ROG takeoff (and on vertical up-lines) you may want to consider adding some right thrust. When mounting the motor I placed a thin washer...
