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...
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...
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.
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...

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...
