    The 3DRCForums -Discuss Anything Thread-

    I seem to be hitting the field on the days when my photographer buddy (Buzzed) isn't taking pictures! I was gonna say I thought I remembered you with a 74 at last year's AEF... I haven't flown it on any other motor, but it sure seems like a winner with this setup.

    74" on a A60-6XS. I've only got two flights on it so far, but I'm already in love. Best looking model out there IMO.

    ^^ I believe Gmail can import contacts from a variety of common export formats like .xls and .csv, and if you import them to the Gmail account attached to your phone it will sync to the phone as well. Annnnnd on another note, check out what I acquired over the weekend :cool:

    3DHS --FLY LOW-- Always OFF TOPIC

    Now I feel inadequate... I've only got 1000. I guess being able to charge a half dozen 6s 5000s in parallel is enough for me though :thumbup:

    Fly Low In "Middle East" --Joe flies for the Prince of Dubai"

    Thanks for posting those, Jim. I've been checking the thread every day! And of course it's incredible that they invited Joe out there, and he sure delivered.

    Well, I can definitely relate to your backing off from forums now and then, but I think everyone is super glad this site has brought you around a bit more Ben! Anybody who doubts 3DHS' motives is crazy in my book.

    FAQ I'm new to 3D... where do I start?

    Twisted Hobbys Extra Slick is a pretty good choice. I personally prefer the 32-33 inch range on EPP profiles... they seem more precise than the larger ones I've flown. Also super cheap to build, and you can grab batteries for under $5 a piece at EPBuddy.com. For that price you can just take a...

    3DHS --FLY LOW-- Always OFF TOPIC

    He is talking about RealFlight. RCAddict, the general consensus on the Slick that comes with RealFlight (in one of the expansions) is that it's a total piece of crap. Almost nobody I know of flies any of the models that come with Realflight. The beauty of RealFlight is that users can create...

    3DHS --FLY LOW-- Always OFF TOPIC

    Depending on the model in the sim, some things feel pretty real, some feel a little too easy, and some things seem harder to me. The real value of the sim is building muscle memory... If you don't have rollers down yet I'd say it is a great place to practice them. It's one of those things...

    3DHS --FLY LOW-- Always OFF TOPIC

    Yeah I stopped getting flu shots a few years ago... but I'm about to spend 20 hours or so in airliners (aka incubators) flying to South Korea next week, and it has me thinking some preventive medicine may not be a bad idea.

    3DHS --FLY LOW-- Always OFF TOPIC

    Maybe better... I bought some 3s 2200s for my 48" Extra. For the same price as Gens Ace 25C the Glaciers are 30C and are smaller and lighter. Of course I don't know if they are a true 30C, but they work great in that plane and I've heard all positive reviews so far.

    3DHS --FLY LOW-- Always OFF TOPIC

    Yup, and it is sold by Nitroplanes. Looks like I am done buying Gens Ace batteries now... they were always out of stock anyways which is why I ordered my latest set of LiPos from EPBuddy. EPBuddy has much better service anyways.

    UMX Sbach 3D BNF

    Because no other RC vendor has had the audacity to slap a buzzword on the end of SFG before and try to make it seem like they invented something great.

    UMX Sbach 3D BNF

    I love in their product video "SFG Technology©". Yes, that is some groundbreaking stuff there! But I would definitely like to try hucking one of those.

    3DHS 70" Velox

    Well, the 7x size range is new to me... before buying this I had only flown a 74" Edge once and a 72" Extra twice. IMO the planes in this range feel a little different than my 51 or 87, a lot more control authority than the little guys, but retain the more nimble feel of smaller planes while...
