Doesn't matter if hobby king is open. There is no shipping during that time frame
I was paranoid as well to start with but I got 2 lipo sack fireproof bags and always charge the batteries in them just to be safe. I also charge the batteries in the bags on the concrete garage...
I am a commercial pilot and simulator instructor. Been flying for one airline or another for the last 13 years. I got my start in RC with my dad somewhere about age 5 or 6 (maybe earlier) flying on...
Learned that the hard way a long time ago with a plane. Did a touch and go and it went up and got real sluggish and wasn't able to return to the field in time. Lipos will drop off faster than the...
A small fixed pitch for indoors is also very valuable to the learning curve. Something like a solo pro or the WL911. I can fly my cp in all attitudes but still enjoy flying the 911 in the house and...
It says for radios less than 6 channels channel 5 is used for rudder gain and gov mode cannot be used. I don't plan to use a gov so I am guessing I would use channel 5 for rudder gain? The...
Well that kind of sucks! I guess I have a use for these mg90s' elsewhere so not a total loss but what would you recommend as a good but not a break the bank digital servo for the cyclic. I have the...
I came cross a really good deal on a brand new 3gx and started looking at the directions when I see that it says to only use digital servos to avoid damage to the servos. I also see there is a place...
I have also sloped on the dunes but it is not like the big mountain slope soaring where you can exceed 100mph with scale like jets.
The dunes vary in size but they have about a 30-40 degree...
Any of the dunes will provide some lift with the wind out of the east but remember, these dunes are only about 10-20 feet at most so don't expect much. You can fly the ridge back and forth but it is...
to get more precise with your hover think about your private pilot training and how your instructor would tell you light on the controls and small inputs. Same thing goes for RC! try giving just a...
btw, try google earth to find planned neighborhoods that never got built in this economy, and also lakes that you can go scout out to find launch points. I fly glow and electric in an unbuilt...
What size plane are you flying? Not sure if you are new to Jax but it is pretty damn flat here. The only slopes I know of are land fills and the sand dunes at the beach. And yes it is possible to...
i have no problems with my HP laptop/ Windows 7 or my Ipad. On my laptop, Norton does block an attack everytime I log on though. Something about a fake something attack
I agree, with the setup and reapairs are easier and faster with the FBL system. I had my gyro fail on me and put it in the dirt with no control at all and I replaced the main a feathering shafts,...
are you asking about vehicles or radios? Do you have any RC experience previously? It sounds like you want to start with helicopters but also be able to move to fixed wing planes?
For starters...
don't know if I would call it "futuristic" but I would call it a very nice glider.
That $1300 price tag puts it in a futuristic catagory ;D Aeajr, are you competing in soaring competitions? If...
I have 2 of them and have had no problems at all with them. I originally wanted a futaba 520 but didnt like the price (though they are coming down now) so I picked up a 780 for $40 and could not...
seagull makes a nice model. most are comparable to the GP products but a little lighter and usually the price tag is slightly less. I had a stingray at one point and really like it but low level...
I run the 3800kv tarot with a 13t pinion and the heli is very responsive. With that you would be fine with glass fiber, just no wooden blades! The tarot motor is at hobbywing.com and also...
if you are looking at motors the turningy 2215 and 2218 are good motors. My favorite is the tarot 450m 3800kv. for the money it has the best power of what I have used. you can always go with the...
way to go. I bet you are now asking for more RC stuff from Santa
The 3gx units are only going for about 80-90 bucks new and unopened on eBay. Just wanted to add that incise it makes a difference on how you order the setup.
also wondering if this could be a motor timing issue. Change the timing and see how it performs. An 8 tooth pinion is going to be way to small. You would need at least a 10 but even at that your...
yeah I am not in a big hurr right now as I am out of town for training on a new aircraft and do not have time for much else but books and simulators for the next 4-6 weeks:sleep
Himilou I would be...
