RE: LawMate 1W transmitter - How to power this?
Hey, like scotty said, hopefully you have this figured out by now. I was litterally just drawing how my wiring is set up when I saw this so I figured I'd throw it it up.

RE: Dle-20 Blew up....
yea, a good look at the pin should give some good insight into what happened. If its all a sharp shear then that would suggest fast fracture, which really isn't very preventable, just flawed material.

RE: Can anybody identify this plane?
Aite, so the fuse is 45" and wingspan is 54. yea all the 4*'s i saw had flat tips. another thing is the turtle deck behind the canopy isnt quite flush with the sides of the fuse, its hard to see in the pic with the black trim tape bit there's like a 1/4" gap between the two.

Ive had it for 7 or so years after getting it from a friend. I dont have the dimensions right now, but will put then up tomorrow. It also has a symmetrical airfoil. Thanks!

RE: Laser Models Laser Arrow
Hey guys, I felt I should add some pics of my plane for your entertainment. Its running an OX .46AX with tuned pipe and Futaba digital servos. I dont know if this is just for me, but ive noticed that this setup sips fuel, Ive flown for 15 min and when i brought it down it still had half a tank! (no im not running it lean either) [;)]

RE: Laser arrow Delta question.
i used a OS .46AX, and it hauls balls! its around 140, with a tuned pipe, and the prop i have on there (at the moment i don't recall the size of the propeller). If i were to do build another one id probably put a larger engine in it. there's a vid on youtube of a guy, in Germany i think, who put a .91DF in it and that setup was capable of vertical takeoff!! for me takeoffs aren't bad, i just need to wrangle someone into holding the plane for me. they don't need to throw it, it has enough power to get enough speed in the few feet it drops when they let go. i have plans to make a little PVC launch rail set at like 45* and around 5 feet long, should work without a problem. I have had a failed takeoff with the arrow twice now, both times due to an issue with air bubbles in the line that caused the engine to lose power right after the toss, but i just put a new prop on and tried it again. it seems like the plane has enough throw, even on low rates to keep itself parallel with the ground. and ya know it lands on that skid without a problem, it'll throw tons of dirt all over your engine if you fly off a dirt runway like me.[8|]

RE: Need Help for Design/Build/Fly Contest
The missions are: 1. a 2 lap timed trying to get the fastest time 2. Payload, 3 laps with a internal cargo of up to ten softballs( dice rolled to determine how many we have to carry 1- 10) 3. Payload, 3 laps with 4 wooden dowels hung from under the wings. So as you can see there isn't one optimal configuration that would work, rather an average compromise to create an overall effective plane. Now wee can change out the propeller in-between missions. so there's a little bit of fine tuning that can be done...

RE: Need Help for Design/Build/Fly Contest
I don't know of any volt limit anywhere in the rules, just weight and amps. As for the lipo's i think the reason they don't allow them is that it would prob make it far less of a challenge overall, just a guess...

Need Help for Design/Build/Fly Contest
Hi all, First off, a brief explanation: this Design/Build/Fly contest is sponsored by AIAA and college students from all over the country create a plane that must compete against the other teams in various "missions" for a score with the top three teams receiving several thousand dollars in scholarships. This is our school's (New Mexico State University) first time entering the competition, and only one other person on the team has previous experience in the RC hobby. I am the pilot of the plane to be, but I have practically no experience with electric motors so I come to you RCU on my team, my college's behalf. What would be the best brushless motor for a 8' plane weighing about 11 pounds dry and up to 18 with payload. There are several rule requirements that the electric system must meet, I've pasted the section of the rules that pertains to the propulsion of the plane [center]• Must be propeller driven and electric powered with an unmodified over-the-counter model electric motor. May use multiple motors and/or propellers. May be direct drive or with gear or belt reduction. • Motors may be any commercial brush or brushless electric motor. • For safety, each aircraft will use a commercially produced propeller/blades.  Must use a commercially available propeller hub/pitch mechanism.  Teams may modify the propeller diameter by clipping the tip, and may paint the blades to balance the propeller.  No other modifications to the propeller are allowed.  Commercial ducted fan units are allowed. • Motors and batteries will be limited to a maximum of 40 Amp current draw by means of a 40 Amp fuse (per motor or battery pack) in the line from the positive battery terminal to the motor controller. Only ATO or blade style plastic fuses may be used. (e.g. "Maxi" size Slow Blow, 1.15"x0.85". Available online www.Mcmaster.com part #7460K51) • Must use over the counter NiCad or NiMH batteries. For safety, battery packs must have shrink-wrap or other protection over all electrical contact points. The individual cells must be commercially available, and the manufacturers label must be readable/documented (i.e. clear shrink wrap preferred). All battery disconnects must be "fully insulated" style connectors. • Maximum propulsion battery pack weight is defined in the mission rules section. This battery pack must power propulsion systems only. Radio Rx and servos MUST be on a separate battery pack. Batteries may not be changed or charged between sorties during a flight period. • Battery packs must weigh less than 4 lbs [/center] Any help is greatly appreciated, if anyone could tell me what the best motor and ECU to use for this situation it would help us greatly Thanks so much, Bryndan
