Have question on the radio that comes with the Gamma 370. I know by placing the receiver that comes in it into another plane will probably work without too many problems, but will it bind to other receivers on the market or other BNF offerings on the market?:confused:

I recently ordered a couple of bags of these slowflyer props from HK:

#OR001-00309B/9845 SF E-Prop 9x4.7 / 229x119.5mm w/ Adapters Black (5pcs/bag) = 5.38

I figured, how could I go wrong, for a buck-a-piece, even if they broke easily, it's a pretty sweet deal. My opinion quickly changed when I tried to balance one of them. I've been attacking it in spurts over a couple days, and I can't get this sucker to balance no matter what I do. I've deducted and added weight to the blades. I've sanded off the logo, reduced the thickness of the blade roots, and filed down the seeming heavy side of the hub so that it's no longer round. It always ends up with that filed-hub-side on the bottom - blades at 9 and 3 o'clock. even if I flip the prop over 180 degrees, it still swings around as though there's a huge amount of weight on the well-worked side of the hub. Assuming there isn't some super-concentrated Chinese mystical weight still located somehow within that well-worked side of the hub, the weight must be located in the leading edge of one blade, and across the hub on the trailing edge of the other. It just defies logic! There isn't much meat on these flexible fans to begin with. No matter which area of this prop I work, that seeming heavy hub side always swings to the bottom. One would expect any removal operations to be rather minor to gain an effect on a prop with this little mass. This is the first prop I've not been able to balance. It's eerie. Anyone had this experience with this particular brand?

Let's hear from you guys! How is everyone out that way? I hope all our Wattheads are safe and dry.

Prayers being lifted for all those affected.

My HK Clouds Fly flies beautifully except it does not have a landing gear, has to be launched by hand, I see some of the flyers launching with their right hand and it looks easy; I have permanent damage in my right rotator cuff, its hard for me to raise my arm over my head and throw the airplane.
Thinking about the good old days I remember the use of a dolly for taking off fast or streamlined u-control planes and then gliding to land on grass, do you guys know of anybody using a dolly like that for taking off?, please I need some ideas, thanks.

I ran across this video... full scale waterfalls, tight knife edge spins and hovering... Must be in hella good shape to stand up to those punshing G's, I think I'd loose control of my body functions...

Im trying to find a prop shaft for a twister 480 outrunner. Does any one have any idea if they sell them or if there is another brand that will fit the motor?

Can i bind my Playmate RTF to my Spectrum DX6i Tx with my ANYLINK module? Works great with the BNF version!
