    Need Assistance In Motor Selection Please!

    I'm still looking for the low KV motors and I have asked for help to find motors and gearbox combos. This has turned out to be more challenging that I had anticipated. Keeping the weight down and flying for a "long time" are two things that typically don't go hand in hand. Unless you are...

    Need Assistance In Motor Selection Please!

    The four props recommended for the HC2812-0650 are 12x6, 11x5, 10x5, and 9x5. I am guessing that the 9x5 would probably be closest to what I need? Since I am staying with the 3s, my AUW is going to be around 25 oz. It would be interesting to see how that compares to the HG2025-3266 geared...

    Need Assistance In Motor Selection Please!

    Assuming your calculations will work at 18oz as with 16oz, here are a few motor options I found. And let me say, thank you again for the help. This question has stumped a lot of people and I appreciate you taking the time to work with me on this. And the good news about the above is that you...

    Need Assistance In Motor Selection Please!

    Wow, that is a ton of info! I appreciate the time to post that. Just so I am understanding this correctly, you mentioned all these figures at a base plane weight of 16 oz. My plane sans battery and gopro is 18 oz and 24 oz with battery sans gopro. Will your calculations be the same and...

    Awesome. Thanks for the help! The wingspan is 55 in and the wing area is 465. More info if needed can be found here: http://www.stevensaero.com/StevensAero-SOARstik-TM-GWS-Slow-Stick-Soaring-Wing-Kit Himax puts of the spec sheets for their motors which is located here...

    Need Assistance In Motor Selection Please!

    Thanks for the info. We are definitely getting somewhere. AUW with the 3s battery is about 25 oz. I'm at 24 oz now but need to add TM to the plane. (I'm removing the GoPro because I heard you can't take AP in TX legally now so that helps with 3 oz or I would be at 27 oz) To answer your...

    Need Assistance In Motor Selection Please!

    I have been told that a geared setup would be better than a direct drive 1:1. I remember Himax offered that at one time. Here is the link to the geared combos: http://www.maxxprod.com/mpi/mpi-26.html At first glance it looks like the HA2025-3200 may use the least amps but provide good...

    Need Assistance In Motor Selection Please!

    Mike told me this is the place to go and I am a little embarrassed to even ask this question as I should be able to figure this out on my own, but I don't have a motor calculator to assist me. Here is what I need. I am working on this special project and need a motor that will allow me to fly...

    Glacier 4s 4000 Batteries 2 Ea

    I have two Glacier 4s 4000 batteries for sale. I used these maybe 10 times tops. I bought them new for a little over $100 last summer but will sell them for $80 shipped to your door. http://www.buddyrc.com/glacier-30c-4000mah-4s1p.html I have a PL 6 charger which allowed me to charge and...

    Question? SolidHobby Labor Day Sale?

    I think this is my last order and I will finally get to use my new charger. May I make a suggestion that when ordering a charger MPA that the 9 pin connector does not come with either and if I may, can you state that you will need an MPA since the PL6 and PL8 cannot charge via the balance...

    Question? SolidHobby Labor Day Sale?

    Power supply arrived. Very nicely packed! Well done. How long does it usually take for the charger to be delivered from FMA? Thanks, Frank

    3DHS Planes Picture Thread

    Thanks Gary! I did forget to take a picture of the lite ply piece I have underneath those steal weights, but you can get the idea that it's there. As most know, repairing a balsa plane isn't very difficult if you take it one step at a time. I sometimes have to laugh when I see people say they...

    My 55" Edge 540 is no longer a virgin. The edge of the runway caught my tail wheel and tore it off. Had to do a repair on it. Photos attached. Frank

    Question? SolidHobby Labor Day Sale?

    PS I did some mental rearranging and I'm going to get the 24V power supply. I think you are right about taking advantage of the PL6 and that is the way to do it. Appreciate the help and expect to see a charger and PS order from me this afternoon. :) Frank

    My 3DHS BIGFOOT build

    I'll say. This is one of the finest build threads I have ever seen and I have seen a lot and have done many myself. Very nicely done! You need some kind of award for your efforts here. Frank

    Question? SolidHobby Labor Day Sale?

    Awesome. Thanks Jeremy. I appreciate the fast turn around time to respond. I know it must be tough trying to keep up with a bunch of questions from so many people. It's really not a matter of money, but rather space. Space due to lack of workbench space and space to transport anything that...
