    standard and metric rant!

    Hey guys,,I have a beef with several high quality airplane manufactures that continue to use metric and standard hardware...why? I just got my new 70 velox to find it had 5mm motor box screws and 4-40 land gear mounts..I`m a mechanic by trade and I like nice tools therefore I don`t want to but 2...

    Thanks Gyro, I have an idea now..

    3DHS 70" Velox

    Gyro, where do most people normally mount the BEC? side of the motorbox? underneath battery tray? I`m 6s electric ,not gas...I just copy people when it comes to 3DHS stuff..It works well..Thx..Jason

    3DHS 70" Velox

    Thanks Gyro, As far as the BEC...I was gonna splice(solder) my input wires into the ESC leads..I`m just using the 6s for power and no RX battery..I don`t see the point of trying to solder everything into the ESC input connector...Does that sound correct?

    3DHS 70" Velox

    I have the CC bec pro coming and HItec 5585 servos and a Spektrum 7610 RX coming for mine...What voltage do you guys set the BEC output at with the castle link? thx..Jason

    3DHS 70" Velox

    Those things are way cool. You see those a lot on 2M competition planes..The Castle one should be pretty neat as its free...If you email them...

    3DHS 70" Velox

    Anybody used the Castle arming link? I have that deal with the deans plug on the side of my 2M plane..I would rather not use that here if not needed..

    3DHS 70" Velox

    Ok its ordered...Still have a BEC ? If I want to use just a BEC and not a external RX battery can I not run the Castle 100 internal one? Its rated at 5 amps and I`m using 4 Hitec digital servos...I guess most guys are using a CC pro BEC tied into the main pack? thx..Jason

    3DHS 70" Velox

    Thanks, I`m gonna be using basic recommended setup from 3DHS with the Hacker etc....Will I need a an extra servo for the elevator or is one fine? and I assume I`m using the pull-pull with an electric setup? Jason

    3DHS 70" Velox

    Great, as just what I`m gonna do..I don`t see how you make something more reliable by bringing in 2 more pieces to fail. I have had great luck with electric planes...Hundreds of flights with no component failures..I`m sure they happen..I almost wanted a DLE 30 on the thing, but I have seen so...

    3DHS 70" Velox

    Getting ready to order my Velox and I`m just covering all my bases...What are you guys using for a RX battery?...I`m almost tempted to just use the BEC..On my 2m Vanquish I use a 2 cell 1350 lipo and a regulator...I think you would want something larger than a 1350 for a 3D sport plane? Jason

    3dhs 41" Edge

    Yeah, I agree with NJ...Most ESCs defaults are for a outrunner and medium timing...I use the 11x5.5 as well..Those Omega motors work well...I have a 47 Osiris I have a Torque and a Omega for...I think the Omega has more power...Almost all my planes are 3DHS and the best thing to do is follow...

    3DHS 62" Osiris

    Yeah, mine are stripped...My last 62 did this as well...I wish they would have used 3mm instead of 4-40 here..It gets loose and you don`t notice it and it buggers up the fuselage...I used loctite...I`m going to try and sneak a new blind nut in there before I have to cut into the belly...Man, I...

    3DHS 62" Osiris

    Anybody beside me have trouble with the blind nuts for the landing gear stripping out? I`m not sure why decided to use standard hardware there...thx..

    DX8 and throttle elevator mix.

    Guys, I have a pattern plane that pulls to the canopy on the downline(throttle off)..I need to mix the throttle /elevator so it has a touch of down ...How do I do that without having the trim knocked all out of whack?? thx...

    Katana 50 from Hangar nine set up

    Your DX7 will do that no problem.I did it on a DX6...Its been a while, but I want to say you plug one elevator servo into the elev. port and the other into the gear..Then go to your mix..you want to do a elevator/gear mix...The switch position should be on so its always active.you may have to...
