Due to the unusual nice weather we are experiencing up here in Toronto, I maidened my Hobby Lobby SU-34 on Sunday, (Temperature was near 50 degrees F with about 3 mph winds. For Nov 22, that's amazing!)

I assumed I would have to wait until next spring or summer.

The plane flew terrific! I'm very pleased.

I'm really impressed at how it floats with power off.

Also, considering how much equipment comes standard with this model, it's a real bargain! ]]> Hobby Lobby Michael in Toronto http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1147282 http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1147185&goto=newpost Mon, 23 Nov 2009 23:22:19 GMT Greetings,
I've got the Smart Charger 2020 for the Thunder Power RC 7.2volt 2 cell 950mah battery...

Two questions that are not clear:
What option do I select for the mah on the charger? 1200mah or 750mah?

The charger, although being Li-Po, does not use the traditional Li-Po charging wires, but wants me to connect directly to the GWS type connector on the battery.... is this safe?!:confused: ]]> Hobby Lobby mattshoppes http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1147185 http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1146839&goto=newpost Mon, 23 Nov 2009 06:43:28 GMT I have a used Speed 300 combo (motor + ESC) salvaged from a Graupner Mini Piper that I want to reuse in another plane. I want to use a lipo batt. with it.

Does anyone know if this ESC has a low voltage cutoff (LVC)? If so, what is the cutoff voltage and, is it programmable? I can't find this info on the H-L website.

She lives in New York. If she makes an online order tomorrow, would the parts be there on tuesday, by air?

I'm ordering small parts about this:

Spektrum AR 6000 receiver
2 lipos
Lipo charger
Props and adapters.

Alternatively, any of your Hobby-locator-located shops in New York have airplane parts?

Thanks in advance. ]]> Hobby Lobby Jucassauro http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1145681 http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1144634&goto=newpost Thu, 19 Nov 2009 00:57:45 GMT It's probably me, but I can't get the Starmax F9F to show up on the Hobby-Lobby website.
I searched the Interweb with Google and got it, but the website URL is www.formerly.hobby-lobby.com. This is pretty weird. I wonder how many other aircraft don't show up....

Re: Graupner 1600 mah 2C LiPo pack

Hello, I'm interested in this pack, to install in the Graupner Elektro Trainer S I just received from you.

The charger I have is a Park Zone 2-cell balancing charger, the label says it charges at 800 mAh (I think they mean 800 mA). It has a JST-XH connector. Will this charge that pack?

P-47 Thunderbolt RTF
http://www.hobby-lobby.com/p_47_thun...60689_prd1.htm

Ready-to-Fly with 6-channel 2.4 GHz Radio, Scale 4-Blade Prop and Retracts
The P-47 was the heaviest US single-engine fighter of WWII and was built in greater quantities than any other. More than half a million combat sorties were flown in P-47’s between the years of 1943 and the end of the war in 1945. One of the first true multi-role fighters, the Jug was a fighter, bomber, dive-bomber and ground attack aircraft. The P-47 was also the first piston-powered fighter to exceed 500 mph.

41" wingspan, 35" long, 258 sq. in. wing area, 27 oz. flying weight. Nearly everything is included in the box. The only additional parts required are the AA batteries for the included 2.4 GHz 6-channel radio system and a small amount of 5-minute epoxy for gluing the tail feathers in place. All pre-painted molded foam construction with the decals pre-installed and coated with a clear polyurethane spray for durability. The powerful outrunner brushless motor (1050kv) has plenty of power to swing the scale 11" 4-bladed propeller. The 25A speed control is pre-installed and connected using Genuine Dean's Ultra connectors, as does the supplied 3-cell 1650 mAh Lipo flight battery. Sturdy mechanical retracts are pre-installed in the wings and pre-connected to the retract servo. The gear legs have scale gear doors attached; tail wheel is steerable with rudder input. Includes a complete set of illustrated instructions with all control throws and CG information clearly presented. Tips on Lipo battery care and flying are included as well. After you charge the flight battery with the included Lipo 2-3 Cell charger, you are ready to fly.

The scale outline of the P-47 is accurately represented. Combined with the scale 4-bladed prop and the retracts, you have a great flying package that looks terrific on the ground, taxing out to the runway, or flying by with the gear up. The P-47 has solid flying manners with a very slow stall speed and predictable control response. The wide stance of the landing gear makes ground handling very solid and the steerable tail wheel keeps everything going in the proper direction. The big 4-bladed scale prop provides a lot of thrust; the smooth application of power is required for a scale take-off and a little power needs to carry into the landing for a smooth result. A great choice for the pilot with some aileron experience. ]]> Hobby Lobby Flyboone http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1137442 http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1137439&goto=newpost Thu, 05 Nov 2009 13:34:10 GMT Image: http://www.hobby-lobby.com/images_templ/swap-images/hli212s.jpg (http://www.hobby-lobby.com/12_foot_telemaster_arf.htm) *12 Foot Telemaster ARF w/Drop Box* http://www.hobby-lobby.com/12_foot_telemaster_arf.htm HUGE, Ready-Built version of the 12 Foot Telemaster For the club or...

12 Foot Telemaster ARF w/Drop Box
http://www.hobby-lobby.com/12_foot_telemaster_arf.htm

HUGE, Ready-Built version of the 12 Foot Telemaster
For the club or individual who wants a huge airplane that can carry cameras, drop parachute guys or candy, fly incredibly slowly and still be transported in a regular car - the 12 Foot Telemaster ARF is it. Every flying event that we took the original kit-built 12 foot Telemaster to brought out the same question again and again - "Do you have this in an ARF? I simply don't have the time, space, ability to build one but would love to have one". We listened and here it is.

To solve the problem of how to transport the airplane we designed the fuselage in 2 parts. 3 large diameter aluminum tubes and nuts hold the halves together; assembling them takes only a minute. With all of the elevator and rudder functions controlled by servos in the tail, only electrical connections need to be made. The elevator halves are removable; each half has its own servo and slips onto an aluminum tube spar joiner. The vertical fin and rudder with tail wheel steering remain attached to the rear fuselage. The forward fuselage has two operable side doors that make access to the interior of the airplane easy.

Whether you build yours as an electric (like we did) or install a gasoline engine, this easy access is great. The forward part of the fuselage also contains the built-in drop box. It is easy to load from the top under the magnetically latched hatch and large enough to hold several pounds of candy. A central partition in the drop box allows you to drop the contents of each side independently, 2 drops during one flight.

The wings are huge (over 21 sq. ft.), and to aid in transport they are divided into 4 sections, each a little under 3 feet long. The inboard sections have large flaps and the outboard sections contain the ailerons. In flight, into a 10mph headwind with full flaps, you can just about park the Telemaster at zero ground speed. This airplane is the definition of a floater, yet with the flaps up it penetrates and handles wind well. The anodized aluminum struts are fully functional. The aluminum wing tube captures the outer strut ends for an exceptionally strong connection. The landing gear is heavy duty wire shock absorbing design and the 7” diameter wheels will allow take-offs and landings from even fairly rough fields.

An absolute joy to fly, the 12 foot Telemaster will take-off in little more than its own length and with full flaps will land in a small area. This is a great show plane and always a huge hit with the kids when its raining candy! Ships in 2 large boxes and must be sent by truck freight. ]]> Hobby Lobby Flyboone http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1137439 http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1136962&goto=newpost Wed, 04 Nov 2009 14:09:55 GMT Hello,

I've just built a nice 3D Yak 36 55 out of Depron foam.It's made by lightrc
and is the plane of our club.It has a ready to fly weight of 10.5 oz and that's with a 600mah 11.1v 20c li-Po on it.It swings a 10 by 3.8,but a 9 by 3.8 seems to be the right prop for it,I'm taking a guess that it might have to do with getting in the right power band.

I've been looking at the Multiplex Parkflyer.

My question is "Is it as heavy as EEP foam or just as light as Depron?"

Has anyone flyed a good Depron 3D plane and a Multiplex parkflyer by chance?
