Interesting...

Just compared the pic to an Align 610 that I have here. The top of the case is totally different. Definitely not the same servo.

I found it!!!! Yea! On the way home from my wifes family side for Easter lunch and there it was.... 3 blocks away from my house 2 ft from the roadside... my wife said look a plane. HAHA it was mine!... totaled airframe and battery but all else is good! cool! just a airframe to go and its ready to terrorize the neighbors again!

Ok business..... ESC's

What would be a good ESC for my 74"?
I am using the Motrofly 5320-300 on 8S, 4500mah, 70C, 20x8 Xror


Phonix Ice 100? or MOTROLFLY FM-120 OPTO

How is the MOTROLFLY BEC's vs Castle pro bec?

I am using the castle ice 100 with my 5320 and it is working very well.

any luck with the motrofly 120? its 20 more amps than the Ice and much less in cost.

I haven't tried the motrolfly esc's so maybe someone else can answer that.

i don't think I've heard anyone report on one of Ken's esc's.

On 8s, you could probably get away with a ice 75, but i don't think there is much difference in price.

I know that in talking to him one time, he said he was having problems with them, and wasn't selling them, but it looks like he is selling them now, so perhaps he has them working now....

When i tried to buy one a month ago they were still having problems with them. I have the fm-10 on my 33 extra and it works great even with me pulling 13A out of it at full throttle on the 9x4.7. love that prop though. if you can be patient you can find an ice 100 on the classifieds in new condition for 80-90. i really like castle for ease of programming and fixed endpoints are a must for me now. Castle is in everything i fly 48" and up.

i have used the 60 amp and the 80 amp one from Ken with no problems,the 60 was in a 48" velox and the 80 was purchased for a 71' slick but everyone else on the thread said no so now the 80 amp one is in a piper cub running on 6 cell 80' wing span with no problems either both using motrofly bec's

hmm i didn't realize they were back on go. Ill have to throw one on my 71 or 89 and see what it does.Maybe Ill test the combo 50cc motor and 120 together. Be a few weeks tho.Think thats an after seff gig.

just looked at specs again.It only goes to 6s for lipo use.So if you are running 6s in your 74 you be cool.

Just got a email from Ken.... he said: The FM80 & FM120 they work fine but not for 3D... something to do with the modulation for 3D flights makes the esc go into safe mode to easy. He said normal flying is fine for the 80 and 120 and anything under the 80amp is great for 3D... he also said he is and has been working on a 80amp and larger ones for us 3D pilots!

Cool and honest guy! I had a really detailed email back and forth over the last few days with Ken.... about life, business ethics, and rc stuff.... he is a real good guy and totally has his heart into doing the best for RC.... He has a customer for life with me!
