That looks like the ticket George. I spent last night doing a heap of static tests with various motors I have from previous aircraft that need new homes in a vice on my work bench. I used a 14 x 10 ...

Read MAAA MOP015 Aircraft from 7 to 25 kgs are classified as Large Aircraft from 25 to 50kgs are classified as Giant Although all aircraft between 7 and 50 kgs are classified as Heavy Models and r...

Yes but the prop to ground clearance only allows a maximum prop of 16" diameter. So a big low kv motor would be counter productive.

Finished my new Seb Art Katana 50. Just waiting on the Servos from Hobbyking as well as the Hacker Motor and Dualsky ESC to arrive from Model Flight and we will have lift off. My Sukhoi now has stab...

Looks nice Frank. Is that the 30 or the 50 size, I had a Seb50 Katana in the black and yellow but one of the wings literally fell off at about 200 ft and she died. Sold what was left (which was actual...

Looks like a great paint job. Nice work.

Yeh was thinking about putting my Hacker A60-22 out of my big Sukhoi in it. It is 217kv and currently spinning a 20 x 16 prop running on 10S. It could spin a 16 x 14 without even trying. That would w...

Good Old Santa droped by and put this under my tree Happy Christmas to me:D:D:D:D

Just tested the 15 x 10 APC on 6S 1140 Watts at 48 Amps, I think that will be sweet. Here is a link to some valuable info on your electric modification http://www.jperkinsdistribution.co.uk/downloa...

Nice pics George! That servo looks like a good replacement for the rudder, probably got a lot more torque than you need but better to stong than to weak.

Welcome to the club Kev, That will be a very nimble beastie for sure.

All good moves Jason Welcome to Funjet world, all of the upgrades you have made are spot on, either you have been reading up on the Funjet forum or you are just a very clever dood. All us Funjet jun...

Smart move installing the servoless retracts mate. If I had the cash I would have put in Eflite's myself, and in hindsight it would have made the build SOOOOO much easier, but anyway, I am almost fini...

I wont be flying at all this weekend... unfortunatley !!!! We are moving. The good thing is its 5 minutes closer to the field..... and you gotta love that. The best thing is I will have 1 bedroom a...

For those of you that asked to be notified. "Consider yourself notified". I am planning on maidening my Seb Art Sukhoi 140 tomorrow at Penrith, not to mention a few laps with the mighty DW. Hope to s...

Nice purchase Steve, I've been uming and aring about getting one myself for sometime. You just gotta love the Mustang, it really is a great looking aircraft. Just be aware that most of the electroni...

Frank. Here is the link to the build manual for the Seb Art Katana 50E http://www.sebart.it/download/Katana%20S%2050E%20V.2%20-%20MANUAL%20INTRO.pdf You will notice the prop recommended is 16 x...

Good thinking 99.

George is spot on there Steve. The sliding arm on one side of the front retract get connected to a normal STEEL clevis. dont use plastic they will fail from the sliding and rubbing. Here is a pics of...

Hi Jason Steve is the research guru on the Skyfuns, He is the one who burnt out a shit load of motors and ESC's trying to find a reliable motor that would supply serious YEEHAAAAAAAAAAA. I am runn...

When Santa gives you something as cool as a that.... You feel like a 6 year old

Is it only one or allof them. Servo chatter is usually caused by the servo's internals Kev, could be the wire from the receiver or the connections, swap the servos around and see if the chatter stays ...

Looks like a sweet ride Paul What size EDF does it run? How much battery mumbo do you speak? How much does it weigh? ie: Is it guna to go like a scalded cat or what? Can't wait to see it in the air. ...

That looks great George, I would cut a hole in the foam you have against the forward bulkhead to allow some airflow through the aircraft to cool your ESC and battery otherwise things may tend to get a...

OK, this one is a request for opinions on my NEXT purchase. I have given up waiting for model flight to get the Seb Art Sukhoi 140 I have been waiting for for over 6 months. These are the 2 aircraft...

I have already finished hinging all the control surfaces and the biggest modification necessary and thats the complete redisigning of the back of the front retract bay to install a battery carrier. N...

Here is the Super Tucano Pics guys. The most troublsome build I have done, purely because I have converted it to electric and the battery tray is smack bange in the center of everthing, it would have...

Ive got a nice big Kyosho Edge 540 Red Bull SE that you could get back in the sky for a song! Going cheap!

8S at 295kv. You will have a heap more power than me champ, plus a lot more unusable weight. I will be running my beastie on a maximum of 6S maybe even only 5S The only issue I can see with running ...

Good stuff George Thats a nice looking ride. Our runway is certainly long enough to handle it, I dont think that would need to land too fast, you just need to concentrate on getting your approach rig...

Steve I am pulling 58 amps at 1240 watts spinning the 15 x 10. Max current for the Hacker is 50 amps continous with burst at 70, so I am pretty happy that most of the time I will be well under 50 am...

I dont have a lot of experience with these airframes. There doesn't appear to be much difference visually between the Super Cub and the Piper, I know you hate the Piper's flight characteristics, so w...

Thanks for all the advise guys.... appreciate it. Its always good to look at things through different eyes before making a desicion on spending a lot of money..... cheers Gazz

Most of the guys flying these with electric conversions are running 50 size motors 5S 550kv or 6S 400kv or there abouts. The tried and true Watts equation says we need a minimum of 1100 watts (workin...

There's nothing secret about them, they are probably on par with the high end Scorpions, they are just very powerful and are close to indestructable.... oh yeh... almost forgot... they are made in Ger...

That is massive Claudio, If you need a little assistance with the glass work I am happy to point you in the right direction.

Not knowing the weight of the aircraft I recon it would be balistic with a an Eflite 46 with 5S (thats what is in my PC9) or a Turnigy equivalent. But that would suit an aircraft of that size. Do yo...

This particular Hacker is the motor I was running in my Seb Art Katana 50. I was spinning a 16 x 8 in that through the same 80 amp Dualsky ESC powered by a Flightpower 6S 5000mah 30C battery and the ...

Do think we should invite the fire department? That sounds pretty balistic!!! Interesting!! I want to see that!

Good luck with that mess Dazza.

Looking very, very nice Dazza.

Hey Steve You know that MIG of yours.....prepare to meet your maker boy.... me and my F86 Sabre are coming for you.

Thats a nice looking beastie Paul. What wingspan is it. My little MIG maurader will be delivered tomorrow. Its a 64mm 4300kv 40amp foamy made by Freewing from Dwanes Planes. It has a 800mm wingspan ...

Hey Kev/Paul Have you guys done any research on the availability of 8S batteries. They are very light on the ground and very expensive. Gazz

Very Nice !!!!!!

Of course it would.... right up until the foam caught fire.... then it would be anything but cool............ get it! Looks like a sweet ride though Steve.... its on my HK wishlist already[hr] S...

High or low frequency? Thats a tough one but we have to draw a line in the sand somewhere and 80 dBA is the agreed value as it complies with noise regulations. So at the end of the day it really does...

Yes ya gotta love it.

Anything we want to share that isn't related to RC eh! I Love You Steve! :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

I still use the standard 1800 battery to fly mine when all my 2200's are dead. I get a comfortable 5 minute flight from it with prettey aggresive throttle use. With that said I get over 6 minutes wit...
