i started soldering mine together as well after i found one bullet joint bad on my 57

also decided to routinely redo plugs on my escs and batteries every few months after noticing how loose they can get over time and also the contacts take a beating from the sparks

Losi I'm just glad ya got yur plane down ok bro!WHEW!!

Will report back after maiden.

Lookin' really nice....Looks like a Thursday maiden at Highsmith?!!

I don't feel well...I might need to get some air...I know the 70" really needs some air.

Took the 71 out for 8 flights today. I tried out a 19x8 prop and didnt like it(way to much) The plane was much smoother with a 18x8 on her. Spent a battery working on Torque Rolling and the other was a mix of rolling harriers and harriers(upright and inverted) played with hovering (hover caught the plane again , Looked much nicer this time)
My brother showed up and flew the 72SC. Also had a few of my friends there flying too. It was the first time they seen the 71 or 72!!! So of course me and nick had to try to show off with them . All the planes came back without damage so it was a good day!!!

Oh wind was only about 5 to 8mph so I really got to feel how the slick handled and I can tell you guys I love it

Hacker A50-12L motor

8S 4000mah lipo
Castle HV85 ESC

Proven trouble-free powerful setup for high altitude.

Ben, what servo's are the best you (or AJ) have used so far?

I am running the hitec hs7985 digital servos. GREAT servos and center very well

Aero,I'm not Ben,but unless they've changed, the recommended servos are hitec 985's.You can go the digis if you want as well.

This is sweet!!!

Hover catch 71" AJ Slick (1 min 7 sec)

I've got the 985 & 7985 in all the 65-72" planes. Both work great.

Thanks guys!! I do like the digi's so I'll get some 7985's. Maybe even start looking for some used ones....
