    LVC is low voltage cutoff. It is a setting in the esc settings. If the lipo voltage is sagging and your cuttoff setting is too high it will turn off the esc. Check your manual for the beep and lights. I would do it but it sux to research on my phone.

    There was a guy that posted in the 71 slick thread on RCG a few days ago that was willing to help a couple people get the gas slicks that were in stock at his LHS. Might want to check into that... Edit: His name is GTOeric and he just posted that there was just one gas slick left. Its red so...

    Have you tested it with a watt meter? I would specifically be watching the voltage. Your LVC could be set too high. If your battery voltage is sagging a lot under load you could be hitting the LVC. Just one possible explanation... test it out and see if dropping you LVC to say 3v/cell will...

    Should wait a day or two for a response. I know you want it right now but you will need to give him time to respond. Maybe he doesn't check his email on the weekend or he could be traveling...

    Have you sent him a message asking if he got your payment? If so, how long ago?

    Makes sense Dan. Sometimes it is good to be satisfied with what you have. Meanwhile you can keep saving for the eventuality of wanting a new plane later.

    Sweet Dan :D Hey guys, I need an hs-85mg for the elevator on my 51 slick. Please let me know if you have a good used one you are willing to sell.

    I'm sorry Dan, I am not trying to single you out. I see this same line from a lot of kids. You can decide whether the shoe fits or not. I don't know what you do with your time everyday. I'm glad you work hard on your channel etc. Please also realize that I am trying to help and motivate...

    Selling stuff you already have is not making money unless you get more than you paid for it. Shoveling snow or mowing lawns or picking up pecans or babysitting or cleaning or _________ for a fee is making money. I don't buy this "I can't afford it" line some kids are using and the associated...

    Just remember that a lot of what goes into the plane is a long-term deal that should last for multiple airframes. Servos should last pretty good, motors can last through crashes but often do get messed up. Batteries should be good for more than one. Just keep that in mind... buying quality...

    Maiden day for my new orange 51 slick :D Having some trouble with the hs85mg on the elevator. It isn't centering well. Still had a great time :D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rqcICk1AI_o

    Thanks, did that. I also put a little oil in there as quadracer suggested. They move pretty well now. Centering is improved but still not perfect. Maybe they will work better with some air resistance on them... I'm rdy to fly this bird and see what happens ;)

    I'm wondering about my hs85s. They are not centering perfectly on the new slick. I think it is a combination of longer servo arms and new ball-links. Anyone have a tips for getting the new ball links to turn more freely?

    I ran into a little snag on my 51 slick build tonight... It appears one of my wings didn't go together perfectly according to plan. It appears my wing tube is about 1/8 inch too long but it is exactly the same length as the one I still have from my last slick. Other than that it is a beautiful...

    It is the same as my previous slick. V1 hacker. Castle phoenix 60 esc. Castle 10a bec. Hs 85mgs all around with the exception of the rudder. I had to replace the rudder servo and being short on cash I went with a solar d658. I'm hoping that doesn't come back to bite me too bad. I have...

    I took delivery of my new 51 slick today. I spent a couple hours on the build. I got the tail feathers hinged and the pull-pull rudder set up. Got the ailerons glued on the wings. So that leaves three control surfaces to set up and electronics, cowl, and landing gear. Shouldn't take more...
