    2014 Magnolia Arkansas Fy-Low-In Pics and coverage- Saturday!

    Great event and fun times. And Never bank on the weatherman. Even if it's a hurricane named Rita headed for south texas. No corpus. No Freeport. No Galveston. No Houston No Beaumont. Ok really Sabine lake. :)

    74" Edge 540

    I'm thinking giant scale starts a little bigger than this. At the big bird events it's usually 80" or greater mono or 60(or so) for bipes. Some will squeak by with a 25% class, which this is.

    I run the larger and stronger but a tad slower 7980 single on the rudder. lots more torque on 7.4.

    3DHS 87" Extra 300 SHP

    Yes.. basically you want the servo arm pointing at the carb linkage as much as possible. This'll help with the expo. Then adjust the endpoints. I added some expo at the bottom of my throttle curve, about 30%. It's mostly linear but as I have found with my two gassers, most of the power...

    Mike, I would but can't afford it... :) :) In Jacob's video...which is some nice flying BTW....go back to :18. I (and some others maybe), would have landed to check out the plane to avoid a total loss. Sort of like checking the oil, tires, etc in your kids cars, you know they are not...

    3DHS 87" Extra 300 SHP

    When I smiths doing it it made sense, I did the 87 and 103 before the first flight. Not as hard as it looks. I set the collar, then drilled through the collar and shaft at once.

    3DHS 70" Velox

    Agree on the 8s, I had a 4325 and a pair of 4000 touching the wing tube. Plenty of power but I felt it was heavy though I never weighed it. Everything else I have is 8s and in the end I sold it at the FLI.

    A little cotter pin on the axle prevents all wheels from coming off. :) So handy bigfoot comes standard with the pin and predrilled hole now.

    3DHS 70" Velox

    Then I guess I won't say how my $45 bigfoot 110 has about 300 flights on a 72. :facepalm: Just another motor war. :( But my other motors are Motrofly and anything new will be. Ken has done me good to. Been done with Hackers. But 2 years on Velox, that ain't to bad really. Unless...
