    RealFlight 6 Models

    If the EF Edge is the one Doc Austin posted, it requires the 50% Edge540 BH_EA (see link below). I loaded Doc's first and it never showed on the menu. The post shows this is a color scheme (CS) and "requires" the 50% Edge540 BH_EA. So then I imported the later and they both showed up. When...

    Wattaplane/Skywing 48" EPP/PLY hybrid Slick

    Gary - I run TowerPro MG90s all around on mine - a low cost solution and they work for me. Have had no issues. I do not fly much at high speeds, but it has done all I needed. I am sure the Hitec/Savox would be much better. Groovejet put this together - you might find it useful. It covers...

    Wattaplane/Skywing 48" EPP/PLY hybrid Slick

    I changed mine (edge) out to use 5mm nylon bolts and have had no issues since. 4mm was way to small and I though Max said SkyWing was now using the 5mm nylon bolts. I do not know what they used on the slick but I would have thought the 5mm. I have used both the Hengli that Max sells and the...

    Question? Portable charging station questions

    Great - looking forward to it. Will it include the make/model of the generator you use, if not would be interested in what you use. I have no lipos over 3s, yet - I do see 4s in my future but not sure I will ever go over that (never say never - I know). Honda seems a little pricey - but maybe...

    Wattaplane/Skywing 48" EPP/PLY hybrid Slick

    I had always liked the 3DHS Slick, just a great looking plane. I built a profile foamie slick, 41" ws and that was fun, and I doubt it was anything like the real thing. I probably would have bought the SW Slick before the Edge had it been available at the time. Looking forward to your...

    Wattaplane/Skywing 48" EPP/PLY hybrid Slick

    I have wanted the EF 48" MXS for a long time. It was a toss up between the extra or the mxs. Read a lot about both and would most likely be very happy with either, but that MXS (blue) is real nice. I see they have a yellow one in the 60" range - I would like to see those colors on the 48 but...

    Question? Portable charging station questions

    Crash - do not want to steal this thread but my question seemed to be related. Hope it is ok. I would like to see information on what people are using to power their portable charging stations/chargers out at a field without electricity. I am guessing a generator, deep well boat battery...

    Wattaplane/Skywing 48" EPP/PLY hybrid Slick

    I have the 48" edge - just a lot of fun to fly. I like the slick, but I am saving for my first all balsa model...still very tempting. Looking forward to some video.

    The 3DRCForums -Discuss Anything Thread-

    Not trying to sell you on a DX8, but this is an interesting review. This guy is saying they have made a hybrid that combines DSSS and FHSS. Gives pretty good rating. I do not have one, but will consider it when I upgrade. http://www.rcmodelreviews.com/dx8dsmxreview.shtml
