Default Re: Electrics? whatcha got

Hey excelpoint, thats a real nice glider
I feel a little empty having sold it to you, its like loosing a family member. OH well, what better way to fill that void than with more toys, now where's my credit card.....

My electrics are:
1) Omega 7 cell comp glider, composite/builtup construction. Mega 16/15/3 brushless with CC45 controller and 7cell GP1100 battery, 4 GWS micro servos.
2) Diablo foamy, some cheap brushless motor and cheap 25amp controller on a 3S lipo. Jeti Rex 5 receiver and little cheap servos
3) Biplane foamy, hyperion brushless motor and controller, Rex 5 receiver, little cheap servos and a 3S lipo
4) Used to have an absolute, now excelpoint owns it!!

I'll try to get some photos tonight.

Hmmmmmm.... Yup... I guess I've been bitten by the electric bug....

My favorite bird right now is the blue Matchless E-Yak55 JC. Lehner power and 2100 Prolites... 26ozs and 400 squares...
Video at - http://www.theprofilebrotherhood.com...ak%2055spm.wmv

The Red/Yellow/White Edgeling flies on a Custom CDR Double with 3s 900 Prolites... Awesome little bird at 13ozs

The Foamy is the latest revision of my Kestrel design. This is my bird for the OKC event and for the Pyramid. Its 6.8ozs and absolutely ballistic while precise on a TP 3s 480 and a Park 300 motor.

The Black Pitts S2S is a proto that is currently flying on an Axi 2826-12 fed by a 4s 3200mah Kokam pack. Sickening power, and light on the wings...

Ok, howzabout something a bit smaller...

This is an asofyet unnamed Foamy Edge...

All up weight is 49grams.. yes 49 grams, as in sub 2 ozs. Its powered by a prototype micro brushless outrunner that puts out about 100grams of thrust on a 2s 160mah pack....

Lotsa fun!

Was wondering if any of yawl tried the Reverse Pitch Prop. I had the hobby lobby version with the AXI motor once it came out and had good luck with it for a week and after I crashed from a battery coming disconnected it never work the same for me again. Anyone tried out any other brand?
