No blowback gonna happen on this Slick!!! Just need to order servo extensions, two sets of Li-Pos so the fun doesn't have to wait for charging, a Futaba Super 8FG, some no show mufflers, and some Falcon Props and I'll be ready to get this sucker going.

Rob,
Man if those servos do what the specs say you should have no troubles with the flippers!
You got tired of the ailerons not working on the 119" uhh? Hey Ralph do a snap roll, hang on I've got to slow down so the servos can move the aileron .
26x13 prop??
JD

I am going to try a Futaba BLS-157 on the rudder, and move the 2 7955's to the IMAC stabs.

That's about right! Have to hit the brakes. It does awesome slow rolls wide open, though. 26-13? Uh. Pass!

Im am currently using 8 2270's.

I actually think the deadband is a bit high on these compared to previous brand. That having been said, I do like them better.

Yep! 10. You're not going to get away with wide open rifle rollers or figure eights for any amount of time without 900oz minimum per aileron. I like wide open rolling maneuvers and don't need servos having a heart attack.

just got futaba 9075sb servos in my 104 elevators . programing them was super simple

I didn't realize futaba servos were programmable.

Is the process the same as for hitec servos

I know this is off topic a bit… but I am thinking of an "electric" fuel pump for my gas jug… anybody using one? It seems kinda unsafe but a lot of folks use them.

I don't like cranking gas anymore....no problems with my gas jug and E-pump from ABELL RC.

I bought a greylor pump and made a box out of light ply to house the battery and mount a switch, then fabricated a plate out of a scrap piece of sheet metal to mount the pump box on and hang around the gas can cap. Much like the $200 prefab jobs, but cost a lot less to make. It's been serving me well since 2007 and still using the same battery.

You guys using Lipo's? That is the scary part!

I do. I remove it to charge, but it's not putting much of a load on it to run a little pump motor. Still looks brand new. I charge it twice a year whether it needs it or not.

Thanks!

I think I will get the "Pit Stop Fueler" that I can just strap to my Jersey Modeler cranker.

Why...how many lipo fires have you seen that didn't involve a crashed plane or driving a screwdriver through it...

Mine's got an A123 on it...but just because I like lipos better in my planes and had this laying around.

Greylor here also,, been using lipo's in it too for several years
t

+3 on the Greylor pump. Had a Sig that didn't last more than a year. Also running on a small 12v motorcycle battery. Made up a box like Rob did. about 1/2 the cost of store bought.
