RE: Electric Plane Smoke Systems
You can ignite the cartridge with a lighter, as you can see in a video few posts above. Besides, you don’t need a second battery to operate remote ignition. You can use [link=http://www.hobbycity.com/hobbycity/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=8833]this switch[/link]

RE: Mamo Upsidedown on a Nippel questions
Hi Mamo upsidedown unit needs to be mounted on a shaft. I don’t know if this motor has a shaft sticking out the back. On my previous setup I had about 1/3 of thrust loss between APC prop and EVP prop. Note that this was not a Mamo upsidedown prop. I hope I will have some measurements of upsidedown unit with DW6/21-Ag (Slowflyworld) motor soon.

RE: stupid question, can i use forward and reserve esc instead of vpp
If you open the pitch too much you will not get much of a thrust. I set the pitch curve end point between one and two amps over specified max current for the motor. This way I got the most thrust

RE: stupid question, can i use forward and reserve esc instead of vpp
Well like I said fast RPM response is very important. Governor mode is not necessary because it is better to set up throttle and pitch curve on a transmitter for 4D and another setting for 3D or for classical aerobatic flying. This way, modes can be switched in flight. To switch of governor mode on an ESC means programming on the ground. So, only important feature for 4D flying is a fast RPM response. Everything else is same as for 3D (minimum weight, cut off,…). Oh and more affordable price than CC Phoenix ESC[;)].

RE: stupid question, can i use forward and reserve esc instead of vpp
1. Reactions would be too slow. 2. Spinning a propeller backwards would not produce same thrust as forward. Even with VPP unit ESC has to have a very quick response to instantly adapt the RPM to pitch change.

RE: Electric Plane Smoke Systems
If you install smoke cartridge 1in or even a little less from the fuselage and fly during smoker burning your plane is safe. Mine in still unburned after about 15 smokers.

RE: Electric Plane Smoke Systems
I'm using AX9 (9g) on my foamy Edge, but currently I’m lighting them with a lighter (no fuse). It takes some time to light. I already got the electric fuse, but I don’t have the RC ignition switch yet. Burning time depends on intensity of burning. It is very important to keep smokers in a dry place. Dryer storage means greater burning intensity and shorter burning time. I prefer more smoke in less time. [link=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_AtoCC-s7kE]Video[/link] If I rate this burning I would give it 3 out of 5. I achieved more intensive smoke on bottom picture where smoking time was 1:20. I have a video of “bench testing� this smoker and on the video it is clear what happens to depron, if you are not using this smokers correctly. You will see that you don’t need tin foil if you use this correctly. I will upload the video and post a link.

RE: Flying using a VPP system - switch or lever
No. Throttle stick should control the pitch. Forward stick position = forward pitch center position = 0 pitch Back position = reverse

RE: why don't many people fly 4d?
Well I stopped counting how many vpp props I destroyed. I eaven maneged to fix a few of them. Now I bought a Mamo Upsidedown system which has all the mechanism behind the prop. This one will probably take a bigger impact. Building a plane with mid-mounted prop (like [link=http://www.schnurzz.de/product_info.php?cPath=22&products_id=216&osCsid=60eb0eeae767fc6bf7f8de3597abf408]Nippel 4D[/link] or [link=http://www.pauzuolis-rc.com/stories/4d/]Arrow[/link]) is probably a more secure way to start flying 4D. I haven't flown a mid-mount yet, but in videos it looks a lot more stable, than regular 4D planes.

RE: why don't many people fly 4d?
[quote]ORIGINAL: exeter_acres pain to set up... hard on batteries... very short flight time...hard on motors... more trouble than it is worth [/quote] I agree it is pain to set up and it takes a lot of practice too. But when you finally preform a nice inverted hover or a completely new manoeuvre, then all the trouble and effort is repaid. 4D is the most Challenging and the most adrenalin way of flying. You don't see many new 3D manoeuvres. Most of them is only new combination of old things. But 4D is an "uncharted territory". You can preform a completely new manoeuvre each time you go out flying. That is a great feeling too.

RE: rc smoke on mini funtana
I'm useing 0,3oz (9g) Quest smoke cartridges (same as Hobby Lobby smoke cartridges) on my 10,9oz (310g) Edge 540T. They burn for about 90s. I flew at a model airshow and most people thought that my speed controller is burning[:D].
