    Bavarian Demon Cortex

    i wouldnt call it reusable, but if the dual lock velcro takes wood off when you try to remove it then i wouldnt say it is removable either :D It is very easy to replace, but I have only had to do it once. I dont swap my cortecies between planes. this is the stuff. i found it at my local home...

    Bavarian Demon Cortex

    i use 3M VHB tape. have it on 3 seperate planes now and works perfect. it is a clear jelly type double sided tape. i have no used velcro, but i would be a bit weary.

    72" Extra 330SC

    i talked to noll about this a while back, and its just such a hard thing to predict. if something has been out of stock for a while, for example wheel pants, when noll gets them in, they might sit for 6 months and not sell a single one. then one person will by 3 or 4 sets so they have backups if...

    3DHS 60" Yak-55

    ....if you run a 6s2600, it would be the same weight as a 4s4000 (or very very close)

    3DHS 87" Extra 300 SHP

    my electric conversion weighed in at 18lb 10oz, with joe's helicopter battery tray mod and 12s5300 configuration. the plane feels all kinds of light and floaty, i dont think i would want it much lighter.

    Why Only Big Planes?

    i think its important to realize these are not large companies, they have very limited resources as far as time. We just happen to be in a cycle right now where the smaller planes have recently been updated/introduced, and now we are seeing them catch up on the larger aircraft. Before this...

    Bavarian Demon Cortex

    i completely understand the cost issue, getting better servos vs. getting a cortex. but the argument that it will hurt you in the long run doesnt jive right with me. If you arent in it for competition and are just looking for maximum enjoyment factor, why does it matter if you get used to the...

    3DHS 70" Velox

    yes. but unfortunately it is not specific to the velox....i call it 3dhsyndrome. i get urges almost every day for a different airframe.

    Bavarian Demon Cortex

    so got a few flights in the digital servo mode, i didnt notice a difference. granted it was on a new setup and all, but i really didnt notice a distinct difference. maybe it is more subtle than anything else, but it was silky smooth :D

    Bavarian Demon Cortex

    im really wishing that digital servo was the default. i know its a safety thing, but it sure seems like 90%+ of people out there use digital servos with the demon

    Bavarian Demon Cortex

    well,i finally got around to hooking up all 3 of my corteces (i am claiming that as the correct plural of cortex) to digital servo mode and copying bank 1 to bank 2. i am eventually going to get it setup so that bank 1 is high rates, bank 2 is low rates, and is all assigned on my a9x to the same...

    94" mxs-exp

    based on the extreme flight new generation 30%ers, i wouldnt think a da50 will be enough. ive heard many times on the 91 extra that even the da60 is borderline unless you put a pipe on it. but i dont have any first hand experience with them other than seeing them, and they are gigantic

    35CC 3D Plane

    this argument is the exact same as bec vs rx pack. everyone is going to run what they like, and tell others to run what they have had success with.

    ive got 5x futaba bls157's on my 87 shp and it works great.

    Discussion Gas vs. Electric

    to me one of the biggest advantages of the 30cc class planes is that on 6s, its a single pack. makes it as simple as a 4 footer

    Bavarian Demon Cortex

    yeah, just as a general rule, it doesnt hurt to re-do the programming sequence. takes all of 10 seconds, and if anything is acting funny, that usually fixes it

    Aj aircraft 93,73,56 laser

    you start adding up weight very quickly. i can tell you for a fact that 0.5 lb is completely noticable on a 30cc plane. my 72 extra weighed in at 10 lbs 4 oz. my dad's gas 72 extra weighed in a 11+ lbs, and they were COMPLETELY different airframes.

    Discussion Gas vs. Electric

    long flight times are nice, but i love me some smooth electric power. its really a toss up in the 50cc size. i think 30cc flies better electric, and 100cc in the past has flown better gas. but its not like any is less capable than the other.

    Aj aircraft 93,73,56 laser

    im on the bandwagon that does not want removable stabs....i refuse to take them off on my 50cc just because it is such a pain to put back on.
