Re: EF-1 Urgent Battery Change...

Both Dinogy and Venom are gone (out of business) best I can tell. Checking around the internet, the Turnigy Nanotech's that many of us use are out of stock with no ETA posted. So that takes away a lot of options, even the Spektrums, unless you find some old stock with the balance cords. I found one ...

Re: The new EL LS Q40 motor release date?

I guess Rocket didn't like his and he sold it in the "for sale" section on March 15th. :o

I hear that you really need to shim those differently, otherwise they just keep blowing glow plugs. :roll:

Re: 9x6 prop

If I read correctly, for 424 electric, the prop is a 9X6E prop, not standard 9X6 nitro prop. I may have read that wrong, but I'm pretty sure there was an "E" at the end of the prop designation, just like for the 8X8E prop we use for EF1. Having said that, since they hand out props for both 424 and E...

Spektrum 4s 3200mah 100C G2 battery not legal for ef1

I was planning to buy new batteries for this EF1 racing season since our current batteries are getting tired. I was going to get 3 of the spektrum 3200mah 100C batteries since these seems to be popular lately. The only one's available that I could find are the G2 version that doesn't have the balanc...

Re: Electric 424 Q500

Dan flew one of his 424E planes (I think it was the China Clipper) in a couple of heats at a couple of the CAPS races in 2021. It was just as competitive as any of the IC 424 planes from what I remember. Another of the benefits I noticed is that you never miss the needle setting ... plug the battery...

Re: How many batteries for a race?

Hobbyking Nano-tech 2700Mah 65-130C batteries are the "hobbyking" batteries most refer to. You can also get the new Spektrum 100C batteries (I think they are the 3200's) that use the "smart" connector and use the spektrum "smart" charger. Those seem to be popular, this year.

Re: 2021 AMA Pylon Nationals - Muncie, IN

2021 AMA Pylon Nats registration online has an entry listed "Banquet" $25. I didn't see anything on this year's Nats schedule (in the first post of this thread) that has a banquet listed. Is there going to be a banquet this year, and if so, which day, so I know whether to sign us up for that or not?...

Very sorry to hear this. May he rest in peace. It was a pleasure to meet you and your dad at the last couple races we attended this year (Cincinnati and Muncie).

With our condolences to you and your family,

Re: U.S Nationals 2020

I like the paint ball idea a bit also. I give thought to shutting down the runway for this. Many want to practice. As for the PB guns? If I got my hands on one, I would have no choice but to shoot Frazier!!..lol We can supply a good paintball gun, ~ 500 paintballs, and two full regulation sized com...

Re: Ben Martin CAPS Classic Aug. 24-25 2019

Are the Nats results included in the "results" listed above? From what I can tell, it looks like they may not be included. I thought I saw something where the Nats are considered district 5 races (?).

Thanks,
Bob
