Cool--I'll check it

Pale Rider · 05-08-2009, 06:26 PM

Any issues running the plane on Spektrum ?

exeter_acres · 05-08-2009, 06:47 PM

Nope.....

Pale Rider · 05-08-2009, 06:50 PM

Good..

Ive been using 2.4 for my gassers but never for an electric..Just making sure I didnt need to take any extra precautions.

exeter_acres · 05-08-2009, 07:04 PM

I use 2.4 on mine...

Rush7 · 05-08-2009, 09:57 PM

I use 2.4 on all of my electrics. If you need batteries buy these they work great and are a heck of a bargin. http://www.hobbycity.com/hobbycity/s...idProduct=6785
Cant beat them for 23 bucks a pop. When you order go ahead and pick up one of the chargers that Big A was talking about and you will be all set.
We are getting about 8 minutes per pack.

After sitting on my bench for a few months I finally got around to throwing mine together. Using the Torque 2812T/720 and the Airboss 60 speed control. 3 cell 2200 china batteries. Getting 8 minutes of flight time and a slightly warm battery and cold engine and speed control. The plane is very good and flies exactly the way a profile should fly, super light. Another good extreme flight plane....Good Job guys!

Hi I'm new to building and I have a question,
On the motor mount what is the right direcction to instal, I can see that the base is offset but not sure what is the right position??????
Thanks

Rush7 · 11-20-2009, 07:41 PM

The mount needs to be setup to have right thrust......so sitting in the cockpit you want the motor to point towards the right.

What is teh real empty weight?

exeter_acres · 01-14-2010, 10:47 AM

Not sure empty, but AUW is running around 42 to 44 oz.

Mine came out at 42oz AUW RTF. Built absolutely stock.

toprudder · 05-19-2010, 03:35 PM

I flew the snot out of mine at SEFF this year. Busted the landing gear out of it twice - on one battery charge!!

Torque 820 motor, Airboss 45 elite. So far I have only used a 3S 3000 pack w/ 13 x 6.5 prop, but I have some new 4S packs I have not tried yet.

Too bad they are being discontinued. I've been having an absolute blast with mine, it has really improved my 3D flying. I have two more NIB as backup, just in case.

BR289 · 05-19-2010, 04:49 PM

We still have some....

If I did not already have two NIB, I'd buy a couple more. I love this plane!! I understand that they just did not sell well, hence the reason to discontinue, but for the life of me I can't think of why they did not sell well. When I was at SEFF, I must have had 10 people come up to me and say they had one and loved it. Only one guy said he did not like his.

GravyGoodness · 09-21-2010, 11:58 AM

I picked one of these up for cheeeep at FFT this weekend. I was going to use the E-flite Power 25 motor, just because I can buy it at the LHS I work at. Anybody have experience with this combo?? I was inspired after flying with Bob early saturday. His skills along with this plane put me and my Edge profile to shame! Looking forward to flying it.
