71" AJ Slick Building, Flying, and Questions

[Tominator06]

Can't wait to get mine airborne! Hoping it might be this weekend, if my servos show up.

I'm willing to bet she will put a smile on your face during the very first flight.

Savox 1258TG's

Hell, she puts a smile on my face sitting on the floor!

I've got the align DS610 (same as your Savox) in mine and they are truly awesome. Great flying airplane with those servos.

I might need a towel the first time I fire it up.

I am very excited. I got my shipping notification for my motor. Looks like my 71 will be tearing up the skys next week.

Sweet Losi! I just got my Pro Tek 20x8 prop to try out on my 70" gasser. I'm hoping to feel a big difference in post stall between it and the 18x8 break-in prop I have been running.

There was a big difference going from an 18x8 to the 19x8 l am using now. So l would say you are in for a treat going up 2 inches

Sweet Losi! I just got my Pro Tek 20x8 prop to try out on my 70" gasser. I'm hoping to feel a big difference in post stall between it and the 18x8 break-in prop I have been running.

Nate, can I steal that 18x8 from you for breaking in my PTE36 when it arrives?

What are you going to replace it with? I have separation anxiety not having an extra prop. The 18x8 is the only one I have had for the last few weeks and it made me nervous. Honestly you can put a 19x8 on that PTE from the beginning and it will be fine. I had a 19x8 on there until I crashed the plane. It isn't too much load for it. If you watch the vid of Mike W. running a new one on his site you will notice it is a 19x8 falcon prop. I got the 18x8 just because the 19x8 was out of stock when I ordered. Now that my motor is broken in pretty good I'm trying a 20" prop.

Ahh.... I will buy the 19x8 and 20x8 then, thanks for the info.
