60% BH EXTRA, HOW BIG IS TOO BIG ?

[harv]

needs an onboard starter. just flip the switch and let do the job.

That thing is looking great Snap. When them beotches get done send them my way so I can slap them around and give them orders when finishing up my project. lol

Very Cool! Looks Awesome!
What kind of servo leads do you guys run in these monsters, they must be about 8' long MPI has some real 20awg ext's up to 4' but doesn't sell the wire in bulk. The wires are .070" 100 strands @ .004". Be interesting to see the what kind of loss there is on such long ext's. The bigger the better, right !

LMAO man that bird would intimidate the sh%& out of me.......not to mention the cost of it. Hope your med insurance is up to date.

Great idea, the motor is equipped for a starter.

Big thanks goes out to Affordable Welding in Fall River for staying open a bit late to weld up the headers so they would fit.

Jim. thanks for all the help, I owe you and the rest of the gang a big one, somehow we got to figure a way to start that motor, as of now it's not me cause I can't reach that high, I wonder who's 6 Feet tall to do the flipping .

Lomchevac, no problem at all, my rates are fair, slaping them around may cost a little more than giving orders.

I am using heavy duty servo wires, to make the long leads, I start with a 48 inch extension, cut it and solder the length needed for each One, they all eventually make it to the Powerbox.

I am adjusting and beginning to see it as normal.

Albert, Plane should be ready in a couple weeks. Weather permitting, within a month, I hope.

[MattyMatt]

Damn... that thing is big. Hey Snappy, if noise is the main issue, 3W does make a specific 3 blade for the 342.. might help quiet it down.

I couldn't flip it! I'm too short... the electric starter might be a good idea!

It really is amazing the see the difference between a 40% and 60%... wow.


Thanks for the Pics... I'm in Belgium for another week and can't wait to get back in my shop!

Uhmmm lets see who is 6 ft tall and doesn't care if his arm gets ripped off!???/
Nope can't think of anyone I know! Like I said I'm in the design phase for a big chickenstick!

[cbk07]

The thrust washer has a 1/2" square drive built into it....may have to rig up a starter driven by you moped Snap

[heligrom]

Looking good there Elie!!

that plane really is huge. over a gallon of fluids total on board. thats pretty ridiculous, what are we looking at for flight times?

[3D Meatshield]

I'll donate my shoulder to flip that monster- but only if I get a chance to snap-a-saurus that monster

[John Light]

Elie,
Plane looks great. I will start on our stuff this week. It has taken me 2 weeks to get all our stuff ordered. It is not easy ordering 90 - 9157 servos and arms, 300 feet of servo wire, prolinks, 10 - receivers, 5 - royale power boxes and the list goes on. I am having trouble finding the sullivan 7 inch tires and the 10 -32 hardware. I may have to use 6 inch tires and make my own hardware. If you know where I can get some, let me know. I am still working on finding the 7 inch spinners. I did talk to my friend rick at tru-turn and he said he would make them if you guy's want to spend the money. It may be our only choice. Call me and we can talk about the prop selections and the way you mounted the engine. The rubber gromments may not be the best way to mount the engine. Just call me when you have time to talk
John

Make a CF spinner, I bet I know someone that has molds.....

Better hurry John, April is getting closer. Better tell that pit biotch Jared to get on the ball and help you get these things together.
