kevin lewis 2 Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Hi All recently purchased the micro styker after really only being competent with a 4 chanel cessna so have re glued many times now i was wondering if there was another airframe i could use the electrics in maybe something a little bigger that may be more forgiving. if not will buy another new stryker frame and keep trying any advice appreciated kev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclicscooby Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 The world is your Oyster, as they say.. iirc, the setup is a standard Spectrum BL unit, so anything that requires one of those.. Including the UMX Sbach, Beast, etc.. It might be a bit too powerful for a small Guillows kit, but a medium size one might work.. Or, you could buy a sheet of depron, for about £5-6, a sharpe knife, and make your own plane from scratch, or a plan.. !! OR buy another Stryker.. But from what you've said, going from a nice stable Cessna to a flying missile, was probably the cause of its early demise, so i'd go for summut else... HTH's Luv Chrisie.. xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclicscooby Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Just checked... Your Stryker has a 6400BL main board, and more importantly, a 3000KV 180 motor, compared to the 2500KV in my Sbach, so it is a screamer of a motor you have, and probably not that suitable for a slower-flying machine... But all is not lost.. Only Saturday, I saw a replacement 180BL motor in Penn Models, and iirc, it was about £13... So worst case, you may have to spend less than £15 on a lower KV motor to open that oyster.. Luv Chrisie.. xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
