LOL! I was hoping to get a 2200 in there but I guess a 1500 will do

Hi Guys,
This will be a must have for me also! Once you have seen the full Scale fly, you will never
for get that Pratt & Whitney R-1340 engine sound!!!

that steerable tail wheel must be a design they havent used on ums before

wow that is alot of options. I defiantly will be getting a geebee

Do you have any more information on these servos? Will they be used in an updated MCPx?

More important is the question of electronics reusability. One of the best aspects of buying a Micro P-51 is in the event of a severe crash to reuse the innards in any plane you wish. Given the potentially model-specific nature of gyro settings, I'm a bit worried I won't be able to make use of them on my own aircraft - or, potentially worse, won't be able to disable them at all.

Overall, I'm quite enthusiastic about this new development. Chinese knock-offs have been gaining ground quickly, and while some disapprove of the somewhat gratuitous marketing, I prefer innovation to the sort of anti-competitive practices you see in software or automotive technology. However, Oversky and various other generics are beginning to offer very competitive products at a third the price, and I'm on an awfully limited budget: Unless you make a very strong bid for my dollars, I'm opting for the ones that won't lose me a months' groceries if blown in the lake.

good question!

Already ordered one!! Lets start some indoor 30's Pylon racing!! Now we need a Super Solution, Bull Dog, Wedell Williams,Travel Air, Mister Mulligan.........

Can't Wait!!!

Yo!

I can't comment on future applications for the servos, sorry.

The settings are indeed model-specific, and determined through a LOT of flight testing by expert developers. The settings are locked-down for each airplane.

AS3X is crucial to the flying experience for the three airplanes we chose as the first subjects. It's as crucial as the flight control computer is to a modern fighter like an F-35 or and F-22. Turn it off and you're going to have a bad day! If you need an ultra-micro receiver for a scratch-built project, there are still other non-AS3X systems available.

I have decided that the most only correct answer is D.

Joel,


Another great Day in RC history!

KICS again!!

rc

I wanna see a pic of these new servos

Man I thought waiting for the reveal was bad.. Now we have to wait until xmas. I'll for sure be buying them in order of release date.

Wish I had the hookup like some of these guys on youtube, getting the model early to make a 10 minute un-boxing and maiden. DOGS..

Weather cleared going for a mcpx polcat, ultimate 20-300 flight Just going to do what I do with my wife and pretend it's somdthing else, like the gee bee.


JUST KIDDING HONEY!

This means I'm now locked into buying Horizon Hobby wings, tailfeathers, and whatnot. I can't justify buying a new fuse and tailfeathers for my P51 at $30; as such, I likely won't be purchasing any of these aircraft. Aside from development costs, there's no reason not to make the onboard hardware programmable. ESCs have had this functionality for years.

On a related note, I'd consider the competition of generic products. The AR6400LBL weighs about 8g and includes two servos for $65. A generic DSM2 receiver weighing about 2g is $10; a pair of 2-gram servos, $5 per. Combined with a lightened 7a ESC and a bit of soldering, I'm looking at nine grams and $30 total with the notable benefit of only losing $5-$10 if any part of the whole suffers catastrophic failure.

Wooweee, that's 3 new AR6400XXX boards then? (or is it AS6400XXX boards?)

Question: In one of the video, Mike is saying "because of the AS3X board, we can now move the C.G. farther back". Can we still play with the C.G. a bit to fit our flying style, or does the new board means C.G. has to be adjusted perfectly to within 1mm and never moved?

(thanks for answering most of our questions btw!)

Ooops, double post
