    General Beefing Up The New 'eggshell' Trex Canopies

    Anyone who owns a Trex 700X or 760X and probably any of the new 'X' series Trex' must have noticed that Align went a bit too far with weight saving when it came to the canopy. The canopy is super light and looks great but is very fragile. It's so flexible it chips and cracks way too easily. I...

    ESC Cc Talon 90

    The ESC isnt recognising the full throttle range. He needs to do the fixed endpoint calibration routine. .. I've had the same issue on castle ESCs

    Spektrum Dx12i. Thoughts??

    I think it looks very good, colour screen seems nice providing it's good quality. Not sure if i'd consider changing though as in terms of the actual functionality of the Tx I dont think they have really added anything.

    Chargers Can You Spot The Problem?

    Tony, What can cause the charger to read higher than the combined cell voltage is a bad connection or bad solder joint in the battery or charger wiring and connectors. This means you get a voltage drop between the charger and the battery resulting in the charger reporting a higher voltage than...

    Misc Banana Plugs

    on your other points.. No, all chargers are very much not equal. Chargers have a wide range of charge power and and battery voltage capability. Having said this, a charger that will charge a 1500mAh LiPo battery should charge a 2000mAh battery ok providing that the battery voltage (i.e. number...

    Misc Banana Plugs

    JST and banana plugs are completely different. As far as banana plugs go, there are a range of sizes. They are sized on diameter with ranges (at least) between 2mm and 6mm. the standard connection on a charger is 3.5mm It's actually quite unusual to use standard single pole banana plugs on...

    Motors Eflight Power 15 Comparable Substitute

    She does seem to have plenty of power in the videos so based on that i have to agree with you that the Power 15 (or equivalent) motors seem to have more than enough power.. cant argue with real world results!

    Chargers Good Low Cost Charger

    Hobbyking dont make iSDT chargers, they just sell them. Despite the 'exclusive to Hobbyking' claim they are available form other places such as Banggood and Gearbest. Hobbyking seem to have the best prices on them though.

    Chargers Good Low Cost Charger

    Here's a charger that is worth considering, these are getting great reviews and is two or three times more powerful that other options mentioned so far for less money! If I was buying a lower cost charger today this would be it without any question iSDT T6 Lite Charger (600W) EXCLUSIVE to...

    Motors Eflight Power 15 Comparable Substitute

    Yes but does his plane weigh 17lb and is he flying from rough fields at that weight?

    Motors Eflight Power 15 Comparable Substitute

    That's the spec for the 800kv motor. Scroll down the page.

    Motors Eflight Power 15 Comparable Substitute

    Another point.. If this plane is going to be up to 17lb then you will be very marginal on power with Power 15 or equivalent motors. While it should fly ok, take off run would be long and climb rate slow. If operating from a slightly rough grass surface you would probably struggle to get off the...

    Motors Eflight Power 15 Comparable Substitute

    Derek, you must be reading the wrong spec. The 920Kv motor at 11.1V (3S) pulls 476W and 42A with a 13x8 APC prop, with a freshly charged battery it would be more than that. You need to scroll down past the 800Kv spec to find the details for the 920Kv motor. The rating shows 52A max which is a...

    Motors Eflight Power 15 Comparable Substitute

    Here's another option I'll throw in the mix. I really like Sunnysky motors, they are in my experience really good quality for the price and have very high power rating for their size. The Sunnysky X2820 920Kv would be a nice option on 3s or the 800Kv on 4s : Sunnysky X2820 2820 800KV 920KV...
