RE: FUNJET
I would have run a hotter motor, but the 2221-12 was what I had on hand. My 4 cell batteries are 2250mah at 20C. I can only get 45 amps continuous out of those. I'm happy for now at 90+mph and everything runs cool. I was turning heads at the field with a foamy. LOL..

This was on a fully charged pack. Looks like I may be pushing the esc a bit on the 4x75x4.75.

I agree with Diamondave. Stick it out. Extreme Flight is a two person operation and they just go hitched not to long ago so the vacation is well deserved. If they are back I bet they are up to thier eyeballs with email and phone messages.

What's with the 540T it's ugly. I don't see full scale pro's flying 540Ts they fly 540's. Look at red-bull air races do you see any 540T's in the line-up.

RE: Florida Huckfest Fly-in! Are you in?
This is cool. I saw the guy win the raffle up at the Atlanta Huckfest. He could not afford afford to buy a 88in YAK RTF. He kept looking at his flying buddy's Yak and knew it wasn't in his future to have one. He put in 20 bucks for the raffle and won! I hope something similar happens to some lucky kid with this kit..

RE: Aerotech 50cc Pitts M12 Maiden Flight!
DL50 or a Birllelli 366GT should work well. I recommend if your using the stock rudder to beef it up near the top. I had to sheet my rudder and vertical stab. too much flex and it kept cracking.. Also be sure to attach the flying wires on the stabs

RE: Honeybee King v2 tuner shop
No these are the eflite S-75's. It is a rather old CC 25. I did upgrade to the latest firmware on the ESC no sure if that is of any significance. I'm also running the EK5-0006 motor on a 8t pinion. It might be possible that my batteries TP1320 are not keeping up. I have to breakout my Elogger..

RE: Honeybee King v2 tuner shop
I just got my HBK2 flying. I have it setup on my DX6 and BR6000 and I'm running 3 S-75's on collective and a G90 Gyro with a HS-56 on tail. I've only had two flights on the bird but I noticed the LED on the receiver goes out when I give high throttle and lights once I'm off the throttle. Looks like the BEC in my Castle Creation 25 is not keeping up with the amp draw. How many are running external BEC on a 2.4 DX6 setup?
