    My Homebuilt RC Micro Paper Se5a

    Good :-) The micro stuff gets expensive quickly, even with cheap china direct order... How does it perform with the current weight?

    My Homebuilt RC Micro Paper Se5a

    You could go 35 MHz (as those are compatible with different brands) and get a cheap ~27$ transmitter from ebay, and a (expensive) micro reciever. I'dd still recomend to modify (a second) cheap-o reciever for your existing transmitter and strip it down (desoldering the pin connectors and...

    My Homebuilt RC Micro Paper Se5a

    Great job! The fruits of long planning and building :-) Real clever design (and much tidier then my projects :D )

    That looks so awesome! Nicely done! File limit: One of the reason I got my webspace, real inexpensive and no traffic worries if you know where to get :-) Wow I can't wait to see more. Rain: Same here with buying telescopes :-P Hobbyking now has the $30 quadro controll board (KK...

    Sounds great! Making it all tidy with plugs may increase the weight by a little, but sounds like a great built now with easy access! :-) Can't wait to see the pics & videos.

    Oh boy, sounds like rough weather... Coded wires are a great idea :) A buddy once fried my ESC by hooking it up the wrong way. I was about to order the $25 plane by Hobbyking for fun flying, but sold out faster then I could order... At least on the german warehouse. They have store fronts...

    Good news :-) Looking forward to the things to come. My Hobbyking stuff arrived too, but so little time at the moment...

    Yeah, the postal service screws up here once in a while too (not delivering custom notices etc.) ... still waiting for a few things, while magnets I ordered a few days ago allready arrived... odd. Good luck with that parcel... perhaps it'll still arive.

    Too bad :-( Tracking number? Or maybee it's just some custom delay?

    Haha, yeah, my daily earring project creates file chaos as well :mrgreen: As for canceling stuff at HK... I think it never worked. And probably never will :-) I resolved my issues via email- sometimes it works, sometimes it does not :D

    Ohai! Yeah, orders beeing held up by trivial backorders is something I hate; Due to the tax-free value here and the almost linear (to weight) shipping cost I split orders up into little parcels, and try to avoid backorder items or put them into seperate orders with less importaint stuff...

    Glad I could help a bit :) serial/parallel port connectors --- sound great... Allways learning something new ^_^ I guess I could try printing some plugs, but at that scale it will be a challange :D btw, if you ever want to look into quadrocopter flights, hobbyking is planning a control...

    B17 sounds like fun :-) If you need something motor/esc less, look at this tiny ultra light sail planes that will fly even with the little winds & currents on tiny hills... http://www.rcmovie.de/video/c1e7d8ebeabdaa857547/Extrem-Leichtwindsegler OR... F3K/SAL, which you throw like...

    If the motor blocks(prop on ground, motor mechanically jammed), it will draw very high currents. This can damage the ESC, I don't think the crash would damage it physically: Yeah, Hitchhiker or Startrek comes to mind all the time when using this thing :-) It's crazzy. I hope your spare...

    Congratulations! Seems likea rough start, but a start is a start ;-) Next time make a video! :-) If it allwaxs pulls in one direction (as wel on starts as in the air), angle the motor a little. Go try r2hobbies, hobbypartz , giantcod.co.uk or ebay if Hobbyking has problems getting it...
