    BRICO 43A Pin Flag Switch

    So the question remains... would you guys trust it in a 30cc bird? Is it a better choice than a slider switch or toggle switch (like miracle)? I was trying to find a single switch for one Rx battery while using a IBEC for the IGN.

    BRICO 43A Pin Flag Switch

    I have always wondered how these pin-flags work. Couldn't seem to find a whole lot of info, so I took this one apart - as you can see from the pictures. This one is pretty simple really. They used a Cliff DC power plug-in FC-681473 that has a 2.1mm Pin socket. They machined a piece of...

    BRICO 43A Pin Flag Switch

    Aerobeez 64" 20% Scale Electric Conversion MXS-R At Joe Nall 2015

    Could have just been the 5525's or similar 5 series then. Can't say anything on the 5565's. I have the 7955's in a 71" sick and they have been rock solid, they are not HV servos, wheras the 5565's are.

    Aerobeez 64" 20% Scale Electric Conversion MXS-R At Joe Nall 2015

    I've heard that the 5XXX servos do not have the best centering, especially when compared to a 7XXX series on the *larger birds with bigger surfaces. I had some 5525's in a 65-68" bird, and I didn't like the centering. Don't know if anybody else here can confirm the sub-par centering on the 5...

    Aerobeez 2015 Father's Day Sale Has Started!

    Hard to guess a type of plane when wikipedia says a: "banshee is a fairy woman who begins to wail if someone is about to die"... ha!!! So it has to be something fast? maybe a delta wing like EF's Outlaw?

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OlJ_5p2DBpM I had a little fun last night. Flew my 71" AJ Slick for a quick flight. I let a kid set up my airplane for me, fuel it, and helped give me a start!! Made his day for sure!! Flew the plane as the kid attentively watched. Then a old buddy showed up I...

    You could ask them... but they are probably out of their muffler bearings.

    Me Too!:banana: Got tired of waiting, and ya know... if I don't like it I can switch later. I really just want a reliable exhaust/engine combo, and this was the answer IMHO. So the DA w/JTec Pitts (regular) it is for me too. We'll compare notes on it later. :)

    I'm thinking this is the way to go as well, unless I'm being sponsored by ES Comp... unless I'm flying a small 50cc or large 35cc plane, the extra power isn't required, nor is the extra hassle of tuning the pipe, and buying different props at $25-80 bucks a prop. I read somewhere that the pipe...

    Good to know, Thanks! I like the plug and play method with the Jtec Pitts verses the pipe. I have seen people comment on how tricky the pipe can be to tune and it's very "peaky", and how the Pro-Flow Can doesn't quite it down in comparison to the JTec Pitts, There is some comments on a site of...

    AJ Laser 230z 73" Build Thread

    I have been at a standstill with my build. Got busy doing other things with the incredible weather here lately. I had to put a new cowl on the Slick, and do a recover on some 40 size tail feathers to keep me flying. Figuring out my exhaust has been exhausting to say the least. I want quiet, but...

    DLE35RA VESS 20A 7500 rpm after 7 gallons. Haven't seen over 7600rpms. Been thinking about switching to a VESS 19B or a Carbon 19X8. I think the spool up could by quicker, but is okay as is. Also: Reed block mod, and frank bowman ring.
