    Discussion Gas vs. Electric

    I will say, that for the throttle control (precision), a motrolfly motor paired with a top-notch ESC will out-preform any gas engine I've used in this class. Gases only advantage in this class is cost and flight time.

    Help With Motor Timing and Poor Throttle Response (Gecko 120HV)

    I'm sorry :( I flew 2 flights yesterday on the 120hv I have, using 8s and a heavy 19x10 APC, and while the response honestly felt a little slower than the 150hv, it was responsive enough for me to have fun. I'd like to get a few more flights and report more info soon. Maybe video too.

    Extreme Flight 48" MXS-EXP

    I didn't have blowback that I can remember, but I wasn't doing rolling loops with them. If you can wait, Hitec has some new beefier servos in this size coming out in the future. If you need more power now, the Savox SH-0255MG have all the torque you'll need.

    3DHS 46'' AJ yak 55

    I didn't need to add weight to mine. Just used battery placement fore/aft for the desired flight characteristics/CG.

    Spektrum dx8

    Ben, I like LiIon better in transmitters, I feel better leaving them in there for extended periods. I know NJSwede just got a LiIon battery from Fromeco for his dx8. He got this one: http://www.fromeco.org/Products/01FRCDX8/

    3dhs 92" edge 540 !!!

    Between myself and Twistedgrim, we got 4 flights for about 45 min of flight time yesterday. James thinks the DLE will be nice once broken in, only a gallon through it so far. He mentioned that currently it can't pull him through a climbing rolling S. The top end is nice, but it takes a...

    32" MXS-C! Backyard insanity!

    Me too... And I suspect having a little more weight aft helps it tumble better also

    Gp-61

    Spent the majority of the day flying yesterday, and was flying my 92 Edge that had the GP61 in if previously.... And it made me miss GP. My 61 has by far and away been the best 60cc class motor I've owned! Part of why I love it so much is the low end grunt that it seems to have a big advantage...

    Discussion Gas vs. Electric

    Yes, I agree. More opportunity for damage on a gas engine, more moving parts.

    Discussion Gas vs. Electric

    Sort of... I think the heavier weight of a gas motor makes motorbox/firewall damage more likely in a crash (ie, what happened to my 90" extra when it landed flat). With electric, a lot of the weight is in the batts on the tray.
