RE: Flying Styro Kit Spitfire (foam)
I think it is better to use a brushless system and lipo battery. Don't invest in 'old' stuff, allthough it might be cheap to buy now. What kind of prop was suggested to use with the plane/motor combo? I think a Hobbyking brushless motor from the 'blue wonder' series should work if you can keep the plane light. A 2S ~700mAh battery and a brushless esc and you are all set

RE: F-27C Stryker Engine Noise
Maybe one of the magnets in the motor came loose? Here is a nice replacement: Turnigy H2218 heli motor 3200kv. Get a 5x5E and an around 60A esc and you will get more than 100kph out of it.

You might want to see if there is interest at one of the clubs to invest in a paved runway. imho, it's better to have a dedicated airfield (paved, but cramped) than having people around you (in the park) that distract you from flying because asking questions.

RE: need model for electronics
For an SE5A you won't need much torque? If your servo's are 9 gram or better, than I am pretty sure they will give you enough torque. If your battery had a little more capacity, I would even go for this SE5A (for looks): http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=16601

If this is the esc you have, then it is a brushed esc and it should work with your motor: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=6468 Are you sure the battery is still good? What kind of battery are you using?

RE: 2 outrunners from one esc and battery?
You have a better chance with 1 esc per motor variation than with 1 esc for 2 motors variation. Good quality motors and good esc's will not give a variation you will notice, I think. Are the motors placed closely to each other, like a few cm's? If so, then you won't notice it at all, I think.

RE: Help with an electra and ESC for same
Are you sure you are not mixing up brushed and brushless? Your Turnigy 30A ESC is a brushless esc, you can't measure voltage on it, at least, not at the motor connectors. it's not quite clear to me what you are trying to do, but here are a few hints. You need a brushed ESC between the brushed motor and the receiver. One battery powers both the esc and the receiver (through the esc, it powers also the connected servo's). The esc also powers the motor. I will keep an eye on this thread, let me know if you need more help!

RE: HK-3000 3ch 2.4ghz FHSS RX compatible with Futaba 3PL?
Probably it won't. If if would, then Hobbyking would have mentioned this in the product specs of the receiver because it would be a good selling opportunity for Hobbyking. As far as I know, Hobbyking doesn't sell any receivers that are both fhss and futaba compatible.

Rather old thread, but maybe it should be resurrected... I am wondering why there is much more multi rotor activity on other forums... Hobbyking added two new boards to their site recentley. Not new, but much cheaper than previously available is the KK Multicopter clone that the previous poster replied: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=17537 The other board that they added to the site just today is the FeiYu Tech FY-90Q Quadcopter Flight Stabilization System. A very complete board for US$ 109.00 (and even lower for a while or are long time customer)

RE: RV-9 esc programming question
I would start with the settings the esc comes with, probably you are ok with that. I bought my first programming card a few weeks ago after not changing any settings for any esc I have for the past 10 years. I bought it for my quad, where I needed to set 4 esc's and didn't like the hassle of programming through the tx.
