    SOLD! Brillelli 366GT (60cc), $250 shipped

    Up for sale is a Brillelli 366GT (60cc) engine. I purchased this engine new, crashed a plane it was in after the engine died in flight (idle too low). The crash resulted from a stall when I tried to make a turn without recovering enough airspeed. I should've listened to myself and just landed...

    Help! Adjust Linkage Length?

    I have an Extreme Flight 88" Edge that I recently changed out the elevator servos from Futaba S9156's to some MKS 777's. I don't recall there being a mismatch before but the elevator on the right side moves further than the left just by a little. Because of the programming in the radio, the...

    New Engine Break-In

    I got my EME 70 fired up today. I will say it was not easy to get running the first time. Some manufacturers run their engines before selling them and some don't. This engine was oiled pretty well so I didn't drop any 2 stroke oil in the case before starting. After I finally got the...

    Full Scale Electric Racer

    I don't remember how I found or heard about this, but it's pretty neat. They're doing some reverse engineering from hobby stuff as well.

    Carbon Fiber Spinner Options

    I have a EME 70 coming for my EF 88" Edge and I'm interested in getting a Carbon Fiber spinner for it. There are the Mejzlik spinners from DA but what else is available out there? I'm looking for a 4" spinner and I'd like it to be drilled for the 4 bolt pattern. However, if I need to drill...

    SOLD! DA 60 w/ProFlow Can

    I am selling my DA 60 with header and Medium Rear-Exit ProFlow Can. The engine has 6-7 gallons through it and just came back from DA. I was having problems with the motor cutting out and DA found build up in the carb. My guess is that the build up had been there from the beginning as I had...

    Anyone Running 32:1 Redline in a DA?

    Still thinking about motor options for the Dalton 300 and a ZDZ 180 is on the list. If I went that route, I'd run Redline at 32:1 in the ZDZ. I'd use the same gas for my EF Edge so I'm curious if anyone has tried Redline at 32:1 in a DA.

    Electric Carden PRO

    I actually found this a while ago and thought I would post it here too. Using decent packs from Revolectrix, each set of 14S 15300 would cost $598.46 and would take around 1800 watts to charge at 2C. The estimated weight of the packs, ESC, and motor would be 16.9 lbs. The really interesting...

    Older 3W and DA for First 40%er

    So I've found a couple used and even one new older engine that I'm thinking about buying for my Dalton 300. They're mostly DA 150, 3W 150, and 3W 157. I know buyer beware when buying second hand motors but what do you guys think about going this route to begin? I could always save up and buy...

    3D SWB Wire Tensioner

    On my Edge 540, I have the Wire Tensioner's from SWB for the pull-pull cable. I noticed that my cables (Don's Hobby Shop coated Kevlar) have some slack in them. It's not enough that I can move the rudder too far but has anyone ever noticed the cables developing slack? I need to check some...

    Run It or Send it to DA?

    Ok, I can't decide what I need to do with my DA 60. I had problems with it burbling in the low and mid-range that I couldn't tune out. I changed out the diaphragm and other gaskets, put a nipple on the diaphragm breathing hole to run a line into the fuse, and changed the timing. There wasn't...

    Thinking of Going to Jeti

    I've been flying Futaba for the past 3 years and I'm thinking of making a switch. I'm currently using a 14SG and it's a great radio. I'm interested in some of the extra features of the Jeti though. The other issue is that I'm also a thumber for the most part and I don't use a strap. So I'd...

    Engine Bogs in High Alpha

    I have a DA 60 on a Pro Flow can in an Extreme Flight Edge. I've noticed that the engine starts to bog when I go into high alpha. This includes upright harriers and rolling harriers. It also bogs on inverted downlines (45 degree) and when I roll upright, it returns to normal. Any ideas of...

    Thoughts on MKS HV777 and Savox SV-1270TG

    I'm going to start collecting servos for my Dalton 300 I'm building. I was wanting to know what people have to say about the MKS HV777 and the Savox SV-1270TG. Both are about the same power and both feature Titanium gears. So what do you prefer or have to say about either servo?

    DA 150L vs 170?

    Anyone done any comparisons of the new DA 150L vs the 170? I'm sure the 170 is going to beat the 150L especially on an upline but I'm interested in how the two compare.
