As far as the interference... It could be momentary and on one control. You still have total control of the other surfaces... 2.4 if fairly bulletproof in that regard. Do you fly in a area that may have towers or a populated area?

im flying hayin 3600 6s around 600g, hitec 72hv servos and torque/airboss...

actually it has happened to me before in different areas and with different planes, just edge is first one it happened twice in a row...

where i fly it is a BIIIIIIIIG football park where on one side is hig woltage lines. but i dont fly near them... and even if they cause intereference, wouldnt it dissapear when i fly away?

anyway, i need more batteries!!!!!

If you hit a dead end regarding RF, check your servo gears with a magnifying glass. Maybe something intermitently binds causing over current condition...not sure if you can monitor via telemetry your RX/servo voltage, but that would help troubleshoot the problem too.

Hey everyone, so I'm in a slight dilemma here.

About three months ago I purchased a 3DHS 58 Edge. My intention was to use a DM4315-714 with a 4S 3850 65C and Andromeda night lights (AuroraRC custom made them to fit 60" planes) on it. So far I haven't built it (will do when I get my academic work out the way over Janurary ) but I'm just concerned about the weight. The lights will add 150g to the 58 and as I understand the 58 doesn't cope as well with weight as the EF 60. So what I've decided to do is to buy a 60 Edge and put the lights on there instead

Now here's the dilemma:
1) Is the DM4315-714 powerful enough for the 60? Or should I get a Torque MKII and run off 6S?

2) If I go the 6S/Torque route, what battery would you recommend? Bear in mind I'll be adding 150g of weight to the airframe with the lights so I guess the 3300 65C will be a good choice as its not too heavy?

3) How much flight time will I get with a 6S 3300 or 2600? Preferably I'd like at least four minutes

By the way, I'm astonished how well the EF 60 copes with weight I sold mine due to having a lack of space but when I did have it I put a 6S 5000 in there (an 800g battery! ) and it flew just as floaty as a 3850 5S, haha! So that's why I'm choosing this airframe for the lights as the 150g added to it shouldn't be a problem whereas I fear it will be on the 3DHS 58 Edge

Oh just one last thing, what servos would you guys recommend? The 7245s have been good to me on my 59 Slick (apart from a bit of jitter) but would you recommend the JR HV DS3711 over them? And if so, what are the best servo arms for them?

Many thanks!

im running 600g battery and its still nice and floaty... it feels right! its hayin 6s 3600 30-40c...

i was trying to think about radio interference and i have one tought in the back of my mind... im running 9channel carbon fuselage receiver(i just could buy it cheaper than ar8000), it comes with really long antennas, and really long antena for sattelite... and also with some mounting pieces to route those antennas... could the thing that i did not specially route antennas cause interference of somekind?

So I had the same dilemma and did a lot of the same research you did. I ordered a 4315-714 with the intentions of getting the 3DHS 57" Extra but since changed my mind to the 60" Edge. Ken was kind enough in my case to swap it for the -480 so I could run 6S. In my case I did not have any 4S packs so I needed to buy either size I went with. I had conversations with Chris at EF and he said as long as you can get 1300 watts you will be happy with it. The -714 will get you that but a small problem is the packs are a little light requiring them to be way up in the cowl. Maybe you can use the lights to your advantage there. I switched in part because the 6S packs were not going to cost more because they need to be smaller mah.
Ken only charges like $30 to re-wind so that is an option for you too.

My motor should be here tomorrow. Good luck with your decision.

The 480Kv Motrolfly or the 500Kv Torque on 6S is the sweat spot for this plane because you can run all the way up to 1600-plus Watts with the 16x8 Xoar. The 22.2 to 23.4 volts combined with the 480 to 500 Kv combined with the ability to swing a 16x8, means that you have so many more high power options. 714Kv means that the 16x6 prop is only a possibility and it would have to be on 4S (15v) if you ever expect to see anything near a 6 minute flight time. and that would require a 4400mAh battery. And that's only 1265 Watts and a very high 84 Amps at 15v. A 15x8 would give you 1300 Watts and 87 Amps on the 4S.

If it will handle 85 amps prop it to that and it will give you about 1300 watts... Not ballistic but ok. Now as far as battery size... Plane will be light and I bet you could get 5.5 mins.

Exactly! I ran an 800g battery in this and still felt floaty I think this plane is equipped with an antigravity device, haha!

Many thanks for your reply! I think from reading this I'll get the MKII; easier to get hold of where I am and the size as I understand fits slightly better on this airframe

You're right there! 16x8 is just not really viable for the 714 (although I guess you could change the throttle curve ) But I think I'll get the MKII as suggested, easier and cheaper to get where I am, fits better, and from what I've read it's awesome

Indeed My Slick 59 which is about a whole pound lighter has great power on the 714. Although I think I were to add an extra pound it would translate the power from awesome to average, haha! So I think I'll get the MKII on 6S 3300 which is fairly light as is so adding 150g with the lights shouldn't be too much of a problem

Many thanks for your replies everyone! MKII on 6S 3300 65C with Andromeda lights it is

As for servos, still deciding between the HV DS3711 and the HS7245... Decisions decisions, haha!

If you can afford the JR servos, there is no debate IMO.

Good thing I can, haha! So I'll go for them then What servo arms would you recommend for them? Or are the ones that come with them okay?

Thanks!
