Graupner's newest sailboat, Trueblue
Graupner recently has introduced a new sailboat to it's line-up, the "Trueblue". Weight is 8 lbs 4 oz. ready to run, length is 1000 mm, height is 5-1/2 feet, width is 8-1/2 in. This is a one meter boat that uses GRP (glass reinforced plastic) for the deck and hull. This boat replaces the "Saphir" and requires much less building. Since the hull is colored in a beautiful shade of blue no painting is require. The interior of the boat is roomy however all of the electronics are packaged into a small space which is accessed through a hatch in the deck. Once the receiver, battery and servos are installed the deck is glued to the hull and this seals the deck to hull for water tightness. There are three brass tubes inside the hull which you glue in place using either the provided Epoxy or, as I chose to do I used PFM, or Goop to seal the rudder tube, mast tube and keel tube to the boat. Once these are lined up and glued in place you then apply Epoxy, or Goop to the deck openings where the brass tubes enter and attach it to the hull. The hull is sealed to the deck using a special solvent that Graupner provides that melts the plastic and forms a permanent bond or weld. "Trueblue" uses two high torque servos ganged together to provide enough power to work the mainsail and jib. All of the necessary hardware is provided in the kit as well as glue. The instruction manual is in French, German and English with illustrated drawings. The only confusion I had was in the rigging of the mast. I wish they had more pictures and close-up detail pictures of exactly how it's done. They do call out all of the measurements which helps since rigging will only work in a certain way. All in all I really enjoyed building "Trueblue". You will need to purchase two full size hi-torque servos, I used Hitec HS-645MG for the sail wench and one Hitec HS-322HD for the rudder. The battery box is sized for four AA Alkaline batteries however you might be able to squeeze in a 5th cell somehow to wake up the servos. Of course you will need a 2 channel radio receiver and transmitter. Controls are sail wench and rudder control. Graupner recommends you remove the stick centering spring so that the sail setting will stay where you put it. I used a Ranger 2 channel system and one of the servos that came with the radio system for the rudder. I have not yet sailed the boat due to weather here. As soon as I do I'll post a video, I expect "Trueblue" to sail extremely well since she's such a clean ship. Graupner "Trueblue" will be available soon at www.hobby-lobby.com. Expect to spend 12-16 hours building the boat. This boat is for beginner to intermediate sailors.

RE: New Mini Electric is here the Falcon 3D!!
Just wanted to pop in and say hi, it's been ages since I posted here last. I still have three Falcons including my original which I did the first review on. They are all still flying fine and I've had very little problems with them. Glad to see there is still such and interest in the Falcon 3D, it's still a great value for the money. Merry Christmas to All! Gary Morris

EPP Eagle Kit, A Must Have!
I just finished my EPP Eagle from http://shop.eflypower.com/shop/views.asp?hw_id=1374 and all I can say is WOW!! This thing is a bird magnet, I took it out to a local ball park and launched into a thermal, within 5 minutes I had a large buzzard circling with me. In a few more minutes I had a Hawk join in the fun from high altitude. The Hawk appeared from out of nowhere, he checked me out for a few minutes then flew off in another direction. The kit comes in two flavors, with motor and without motor. Any speed 400 sized brushless motor and a 8x4.7 prop will work fine. I'm using a 165 Watt Little Screamer motor coupled to a Jeti 18 Amp speed controller and a 2100 Thunder Power 3-Cell Lipo. It seems to get anywhere from 30-to 60 minutes of flight time with this setup. If you can get into a good thermal you can fly much longer. There is a very large post about this kit over on Ezone in the foamy kits section. I'm including a few pictures of mine. I strongly suggest you get one yourself and have a ball flying it!

That's exactly what happened, the bearing seized and melted the plastic. Call Hobby Lobby and ask them if they would strip one of there returns so you can get it back in the air, they generally go above and beyond the call of duty so call and ask! Gary

RE: New Mini Electric is here the Falcon 3D!!
Your doing exactly what it takes to keep your battery and motor health, this should give you long life on both. I also use a Thunder Power 2100ma 3-cell pack and can get upwards of 15 minutes flight. The cost is substantially more for this battery but you get three times the duration so it's not bad. Gary Morris
