    Legacy Aviation - 84" Turbo Bushmaster - Yellow / Black

    I totally fell in love with this airplane at the Arizona Electric Festival this past weekend. It's so solid all around, makes for a GREAT high wing sport trainer, go from mild to wild in a heartbeat. Gotta give my thanks and gratitude to Supa for letting me burn through some electrons in his...

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    Had a totally awesome time at the 2016 AEF event this past weekend, burned up a lot of electrons. Forgot the wings to my 70" Slick though, not worth a 12 hour round trip to get them :eek::oblong::( Got to fly a lot of other peoples airplanes though :laughing::D Including the new Legacy...

    I've flown with @Tavis, he works that airplane all over the place. Point rollers are the next step. Having smaller ailerons might help out better too :p:cool:

    Servo torque

    Typically you multiply the Kg/cm rating by 14. 8.5 x 14 = 119 oz/in.

    Aerobeez "BANSHEE" 91" Slick build

    Although I will say some of the newer ones are totally rad. The DA70 arrived back at the HQ today, now I anxiously await a phone call to see what the damages were.

    Hey what do you guys use for a workbench topper material? I'm looking for something that won't scratch covering and isn't too expensive, and also isn't a towel or carpet :rolleyes:

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    That is an Anderson Power Pole (APP) connector. I hate them, they never clip together firmly and you need to buy a special crimping tool just to crimp the spades inside together properly. I always have to zip tie them together just to get a firm connection, which is why I use Deans or EC3/5's...

    Aerobeez "BANSHEE" 91" Slick build

    That was the 2nd flight of the day, packs were freshly recharged the night before. I am sticking with the power being removed, that seems the most likely scenario here. The post-crash analysis only gave me theories and no actual hard evidence.

    Aerobeez "BANSHEE" 91" Slick build

    The way I have my receiver power setup would mean that both batteries would have had to fail under load- not that it matters, the HSB-9485SH's won't draw anything near what an equivalent coreless digital will under load (which in this case happens to be an HS-7955TG). Only half the airplane...
