Slick 360 3D RC Aerobatic balsa model from HK

admin — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 20:28:03 +0000

Extra Extra, read all about it, no this is not an Extra 3D but a fabulous slick and an eye candy of a plane, the Slick 360 3D with a 51" inch wing span, beautiful orange gray and white decals, one hot aerobatic RC model designed for extreme 3D aerobatics, gosh do I want this plane, i just wish it was a 40" wingspan so i would be able to fit it in my car. Take a look at the cowl, canopy and wheel pants as they have been finished in a deep gloss paint, dont you just want to take a bite out of it. In there own words: "The H-King Slick 360 performs every inch as good as it looks, naturaly it makes for a great sport plane but it would be fair to say that hardcore 3D is what the Slick has been designed for. The precision of the airframe, stunning looks, top line quality and amazing feather weight specs make the Slick 360 a must have plane for all aerobatic and 3D pilots!" Now for those who are looking to purchase the precision aerobatics Extra MX which is priced at around $300 with shipping plus the worlds most unsatisfying customer service, think twice. The Slick 360 3D is priced at $114 from Hobby King, a price you cannot beat although the wingspan is 7" shy of the MX. One feature to note on this slick 360 plane is the elevator, which has an airfoil, this is a trait you find in PA planes, even more of a reason to stay away from precision aerobatics. Here are the specs: Features: Top quality construction and covering Ultra light weight but strong airframe high quality covering Full airfoil empenage Excellent colour scheme for easy orientation Stunning 3D capability Specs: Wingspan: 1300mm Length: 1250mm Wing Area: 34.2dm2 Dry Weight: 890g (inc all hardware) Flying Weight: 1300g~1500g (Approx) Requires: Your own 4~6 Channel TX/RX 35mm Brushless Outrunner Motor 40A~60A ESC 4 x Digital High Torque 12g servo 2200mAh~2650mAh 4s Lipoly Battery 50mm Spinner UBEC (Optional) Here are some pictures of the Slick 360 3D plane.

I know my blog is mostly based on toys that fly, but truthfully, back in 1987 was when i first got into the radio control hobby with my very own Tamiya Frogger Remote Control Car with a Tamiya RX-54050 brushed motor, gosh good old days. In any case, feast your eyes on this new 1/16 [...]

ParkZone Micro Stryker Brushless Delta Wing 180

admin — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 00:24:03 +0000

Just when i had an idea of creating a micro wild wing, i noticed ParkZone beat me to it. The very slick and micro Stryker, using a 180 size brushless motor which is around 10 grams, spinning at 3000Kv on a 3.75×3 propeller, this little guy flies great, of course with a hefty price tag [...]

Mini DLG Micro-D Worlds smallest Micro DLG GLider

admin — Sat, 29 Oct 2011 22:57:43 +0000

Having recently flown a few DLG gliders and truly been addicted from the concept of a motorless rc plane, the perfect throw, the understanding of wind, thermals and gliding to the final controlled catch, i have decided to create a micro version of these DLG gliders. Since the smallest DLG in the market is around 35" wingspan, i introduce the Micro-D. This design and concept of course is nothing original, i have seen many rcgroups threads on how to build your own micro DLG. So this is my version, a 21" wingspan, small enough to fit in your pocket, ( ok maybe not that small) but a great fun indoors and outdoors. On the perfect day, with heat rising from the ground and cumulus clouds above, you can easily thermal sky high over 30 minus of flight time with this little DLG glider. Remember, it does not like wind to much so a calm sunny day is a dream. Fly it at your local park as i have in the video below, it truly is hours of fun with just one battery. This Micro DLG was redesigned based on Quark by Adam Woodworth, wing airfoil, length, width and dihedral have been modified along with tail feathers. Weight: .84Oz ( 23.8 grams) give an take how much glue you use. Wing Span: 21.5 Airfoil: Mark Drela AG03 Carbon Fuse Carbon Pushrods Bluecore Pod 1s 3.7V 138Mah Lipo included Pod and Wings are hand crafted Tail feathers ( Rudder and Elevator ) and control horns are laser cut with 1/32 balsa wood (pre-hinged) Everything in the kit is provided including 1S 25C 30C burst lipo battery: Build Time: 30 to 40 minutes Required: Spektrum AR6400 Receiver equivalent power servo system. Hot Glue Gun preferably with small tip Shipping: As soon as an order is placed, your micro DLG will get built within 2 business days and shipped within 2 business days. If you live in the states, please allow a week for your package to arrive, sometimes less than a week. International orders are packaged in a harder case packaging and usually take 2 weeks to arrive to your door step. If you have any questions, please email me anytime.

Airtronics 802 Sub Micro Digital Servo

admin — Thu, 20 Oct 2011 18:55:22 +0000

I recently spoke with a fellow over at RCgroups, a very helpful individual, who informed me about the Airtronics 802 Sub Micro Digital Servo’s. I personally have never used these 802′s but by the looks of it, these could be the top sub micro servos, specially if you crash your RC plane often, these servos [...]

With high speeds and aerobatics, this is the wave of the future, the F-18 Jolly Roger EDF RC packed with a thrust vectoring system to allow the highest angle of attack. Thrust vectoring was originally created to provide upward vertical thrust as a means of giving an aircraft vertical VTOL takeoff and landing abilities. This [...]

DLG Gliders

Many years of flying 3D planes, fast jets and wings, my path has finally shifted towards DLG Gliders, so i thought i would post some pictures of my favorite DLG planes, and by “favorite” i simply mean i would love to own. DLG stands for Disk Launch Gliders which are typically smaller sized planes [...]
