    3DHS and Extreme Flight Merger?

    Well I took a beat down when I criticized 3DHS's abyssmal inventory issues in a thread discussing 3DHS and said they would be out of biz with their Supply Chain Management Probs and feel glad that EF is heading this up as their CS is fantastic and Ben and Noll "screwed the pooch" with 3DHS. So...

    I am back! Not that anyone remembers me! LOL...Hey great to see all you guys.......Good to see familiar faces...Just dropped a NIB 65" Yellow V2 ARF on the board after selling my 64" MXS BNF Today. Had to realize I am not proficient enough to handle these "intense" planes so I am going to be...

    iCharger 306B

    Gary...You still got this? Let me put my wimpy Hitec(no offense) 50w up for sale...It's an awesome charger but is so slow due to the wattage. Ciao! Greg

    With 4x the failure rate of a Heli... How many of these just fall out of the sky? When everyone and granny is flying these. I think a safer option, based on all the MMJ reeferendums that have passed is an "EDF JetBong"...Enterprise...does that exist? Something Like "Wicked Don's Jet...

    Question? What the HACK? Hacker A50-16s V2.1?

    LET THE SHAMING BEGIN! I decided to go "budget" on the 6lb 61" Sebart Sbach 342 and scored an OS 5025-375 for 75 NIB shipped. No one knows "watt" these motors rate out at so I will build the Seb with the el cheapo OS(alleged 6.3KG thrust on 6S w/a 16x12e..ha). Probably will sell the V2.1 NIB...

    Question? What the HACK? Hacker A50-16s V2.1?

    Where is AXI made? Their 4310/16 is more than a Hacker and the same as a Motrolfly and OOS at 166 USD. Thanks for the info! Greg

    Question? What the HACK? Hacker A50-16s V2.1?

    Yeah...Thanks guys for the input. I am not deserved of a Mortolfly at 170 dollars as I do not need to rip the wings off my Vyper doing 100mph. These planes depreciate so fast and you guys are all expert pilots so Motrolfly would be "Pearls thrown before swine" for me...I like the idea of a 2...

    Lower Cost Motor Alternatives....Cobra or OS? Open minds please......

    Thanks Shannon.... I am looking for one for the 65" Vyper/61" Sebart......That 390kV might do the trick! Lucien runs his numbers pretty tight......And with Aero Model melting down.....Yeah it's no M-Fly but it is half the Cost and seems to near match the Hacker A50 16s for 150 vs 87 for the...

    Lower Cost Motor Alternatives....Cobra or OS? Open minds please......

    Now that Aeromodel is in transition and is referring questions back ti the Board........ I thought I might postulate this Question......Without using the word Motrolfly in the answer. What does anyone know about Cobra Motors.....They offer a 2 yr warranty and their 390kV offering is 88...

    Question? What the HACK? Hacker A50-16s V2.1?

    Well sometimes you have to answer your own question. I called Aero-Model and they are in "transition" and have no tech support and referred me back to the FORUMS. At 150 a pop for a A50 I asked to be referred to the Supervisor. After an eternity on hold..The gentleman came back and said they...

    Question? What the HACK? Hacker A50-16s V2.1?

    I purchased a NIB Hacker A50-16s thinking I was getting a V3 and received a V2.1. I am familiar with the V2 but can anyone tell me (direct me) to the specs on a V2.1. Anything I can learn about this motor would be great as I am wonder if there was a problem with that version-hence the V3...

    Sugesstions for a 60" EF 3D plane

    Balsa or BUST! 3Dnater... Oh yeah...I understand what you mean. What they mean if you have no arming switch and you have radio on .by accident, and 3dnater advanced throttle AND the ESC does not catch it ...You are prop chop. I stopped the electric vs Gasser debates long ago...they get too...

    Sugesstions for a 60" EF 3D plane

    You could..... If your Club to which you were a member were not "anti-electric" and the Rules(enforced by a Safety Officer) require a arming (active) switch on all electrics as they "ARE SO DANGEROUS". The average age in our club, seriously, is 65+ They don't trust you or your ESC in case...

    Sugesstions for a 60" EF 3D plane

    Enough Yellow Already! Thanks Snowdog! Here is the infamous EF 64" MXS-EXP that is banned from flight til I mount the arming switch. I hear there were three versions of the MXS...is that so? My flying buddy had one and said he sold it after two flights as he did not like the feel if...

    Sugesstions for a 60" EF 3D plane

    Err...I think Gary's suggestion of the 5585's are all I can afford and they far exceed 35HSs' low end suggestion of the HS-985MG. I just was on 3dhs site and they suggest the A50 16s and the 100 Ice with the 7954's being the top end servo at 300-400 for 4. I can get the 5585's for 220 for 4...
