An RC Depron Douglas X3 Stiletto
Shaun Walsh replied to Simon Chaddock's topic in Own Design Project Blogs
Surely that should be Boeing? And each plane would have just one. And they wouldn't tell the pilots where it is, what it does or how to turn it off. -
You are putting the cart before the horse. Join a club. Speak to other members, especially the instructor(s). Ask for recommendations. Make a reasoned decision. Purchase transmitter. I speak from experience, decided to return my first Tx purchase as I realised that compatibility with instructor's equipment was a big advantage.

You may have problems with spares availability or the Gen 1 DX8.

When restarting after a considerable gap I bought the brand that was most popular in the clubs I joined and (possibly more importantly) the brand my instructor used which just happened to be Spektrum.

Spring is here again - who's been flying?
Shaun Walsh replied to GrumpyGnome's topic in Flying Field Reports and Chat
Need one of these. -
An HB3 headlight bulb will connect directly to an xt60 connector, just have to trim the plastic on the bulb and bend the bulb connections slightly.

Have a look through the reviews here: https://hobbyking.com/en_us/volantex-742-7-phoenix-1600-epo-composite-r-c-glider-pnf.html A number of complaints about motors burning out but in some cases it's not clear whether they were using a 2S or 3S battery. Given the motor is 1400 KV the prop fitted may be too big for a 3 S battery causing the overheating problem. There is one comment about moving the CG 8mm rearward and it flying OK.

If that was the case all home brewers would be blind or dead!

Excellent. I check the internal resistance of my lipos regularly and if it rises to high or too quickly or if they are badly unbalanced they get fully discharged and disposed of. They live in liposafe bags in a 50 calibre ammunition case with a big bag of cat litter on top. The hope is that if they do catch fire the cat litter bag burns releasing the mineral cat litter to slow the spread of the flames. Hope I never find out if it works 🙏

Hope the fridge isn't turned on. Flammable liquids stored in the fridge are a serious explosion risk, a loose cap or slight leak can lead to a build up of flammable vapour which a spark from the thermostat switch can ignite. The lab I worked in had a special fridge for storing flammable liquids which had all the electrical equipment on the outside of the fridge isolated from the interior.
