Thanks for watching!

My Polaris Seaplane Parkflyer! (2 min 44 sec)

Finally came in the mail and it's working great. It's cool to see the individual cell readings, total capacity readings, and to be able to charge/discharge many different types of batts. ALL FOR $37.99!!! Can't beat that!

Here's some pics of my Polaris that I just built. I'm going to add a few more build pics later. It looks rough, but it won't after I sand the spackle and paint it!

I gave my old Rafale a face lift yesterday because it was too hard to see in the air. Here's some pics!!!
Do you think I should do some more tiger stripes on the other wing?

I don't know if it actually is, but has the same paint job and it's definitely a 747. Snapped this pic over my house today.

My Typhoon 2 With a Brushless Outrunner (2 min 55 sec)

Edit: New motor, it is Turnigy's equivalent to the Park 480. I am currently using it and it is perfect.

I finally got tired of replacing gearbox after gearbox an my Typhoon 2 so, guess what, time to order a sweet outrunner!! I used a 77g motor from Hobbycity.com (See below). This motor is lighter than the Park 480, just as powerful (if not more), and is only $17 ($52 cheaper that the Park 480). The installation took only about 2 hours. Easy as pie. This is the mount I did, but if you want a removable from the firewall version, click here: https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/show...postcount=1067 Here's some steps:

1. Order this motor: https://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...er_1020kv.html
2. Go to Home Depot and get some 1 inch spacers, at least 8 washers, 4 #8 allen head 1 3/4 inch bolts, and some nylon lock nuts. Also get some light ply from your LHS.
3. Take off the firewall and try to get it off without losing a lot of foam from the fuselage.
4. Cut 2 squares of ply and epoxy them to the firewall. (you can also just screw the ply into the firewall, but i prefer epoxy)
5. Drill the four holes through the wood an firewall that will match the motor mount.
6. Then, use a dremel and the circular sander to cut away the foam/plastic/dried epoxy and to make spaces for the washer/lock nut. (see pictures for help)
7. Attach motor mount (that should already be mounted to motor) on to the wood. The order of the items shold be: Allen head bolt/motor mount/ spacer/washer/wood/...Continue Reading

Got my LED's set up, just 3, nothing fancy as it is my first time. Thanks Mr. Wade!
