    3DHS 48" Edge vs. EF 48" Edge

    Hey guys, I am looking to purchase a new balsa ship in the 48" size for the upcomming 2013 flying season. I know that alot of you have probably flown both of these airframes and I know that they are both supposed to be good, but I was wondering which airframe you like better and why. Also, are...

    Motor Compatability

    Hey guys, I have an extra NIB Omega 130gr that I purchased from 3DHS. I was wondering if this motor would be ok to use in the 48" size planes that EF puts out?

    Put the maiden on this beastie at the indoor fly-in last night. I felt pretty comfy with this airplane almost immediately. Battry pack felt good hust slightly ahead of center on the spar so I cut my slot. Little tail heavy from the stock location but that is where it felt the best to me. I...

    Flew the Mini CY at the indoor fly-in last night. How did I like it? Well lets just say that I am super tired this morning because I didn't leave the facility until 3AM! This thing is awesome. If you are on the fence just do yourself a favor and buy it. The stock power combo worked...

    Apparently me, fluids, and this airplane don't get along. I just dropped one of the batteries in my coffee when I was cinnecting it to my charger. What are the chances? LOL! I bought 6 so its all good. The one I dunked might be alright, didnt discharge and is balanced. Going to let it set...

    Here is the gear position. You can see where I cut the first set of gear out (I just clipped it at the base of the leg to not damage the foam). I would suggest installing your alieron servo and diff arm and the using that as a refeence fot rhe gear width. One other suggstion that I have when...

    Ok, gear issue is fixed. I have a second production run kit. In the second run they moved the gear slot forward about an inch from the original location in the lower vertical fuse. Moving it forward fixes some gear chatter issues but the gear legs come really close to the aileron servo arm...

    Sooo, ran into major issues this morning. The laser cut landing gear cut-out is in the wrong place on my lower fuse and interferring with the aileron servo arm. I glued the gear in last night and it is locked solid now so its not like I can move it to the right location without destoying the...

    Getting closer! Basically the only thing left is to let the glue dry, install servo arms, pushrods, motor, ESC and tail skid. Most challenging part if the build is the landing gear. Dont really like the way mine came out but it will serve the purpose, one wheel is toed in a little too much to...

    The wifie came through with a new CY Lite for me for Christmas with the stock power combo and the carbon upgrade kit. Foam quality and paint on this one is great, typical of TH EPP planes. This is the first time I have done the Carbon kit and I really like it. The control horn extensions...

    Yep, the video is awesome. Thats why I bought it, although I am many flight hours from being able to fly like Cody. Got my new motor ordered, given the good turn around times coming out of TH I should have it by the next indoor event in my area and give it the proper venue for a maiden. That...

    Here is a pic of the burn damage. You can see a white spot on the circuit above the blackened part of the motor label. That white spot is where the smoke js coming from. I dont know much about electical boards, any ideas of a potential fix or is it done?

    Finished my mini today, ended up at 77g withoutbthe battery. Planning on using 260 MaH nanos but those have not come in yet. The kit quality is good and it is a super easy build. I like the CS-40D servo, it is quick and centers well. I am not impressed with the CS-35 servos. They are...

    Just got mine in the mail today and started the build tonight! Twisted is awesome, 4th plane I have bought from them of various sizes. Ordered this one on Tuesday and came today. The foam in the kit is high quality and looks to be the same thickness as the CY lite. The little motor and ESC...
