A few passes from yesterday, somehow my total flight time was 5:30, packs came down at 3.72volts. The Zop power lipo is still hanging in there, pretty impressive since it's quite light.

Habu 32x
EFLUX RC
I'm finally building my Habu 32x. Power will be the stock fan and motor with a heat sink. Castle creations 100 ESC, Glacier 7 cell 5300's. Efllite retracts with Tam jet struts. Will it make a difference if I change the stock thrust tube to a Mylar one you sell? If I should upgrade can you give me details. Thanks, Triptykon |

Tryptykon,
Sorry for the late reply. I've been camping in the Sierra's for 6 days, and am finally getting caught up. Running the stock motor on 7s is already putting extra load on it. Many guys add a heat sink to the motor as well. Some do not. It depends on the ambient temps and how hard you are on the throttle. I personally have not run the stock setup on 7s. For more thrust and top end speed, we have been using the Jetfan 80mm EDF, with the larger, 36-39mm dia motors that are better suited handling higher power levels. |

I have a hard time with the locating pins on the stab. Due to their angle, it's impossible to slip the tips in the holes when the spar is in place for gluing.
If I shorten them by 1/2 it should be possible to slip them in. Is there a reason the pins are that long , it seems unnecessary (?) Is there another way? |

Its been a while but I vaguely remember having to fool with that to get them to pop into place but I didn't have to cut anything it just took some fiddling

Landing speed is a bit higher (only really noticeable in near dead calm conditions), but imo that's all part of the challenge and fun in flying a proper jet. If i want to float around at 20mph I have planes for that to In the end, it comes down to what performance you're looking to get out of it, some flyers are happy on the stock setup and may only take their's out a few times in a season, some want higher performance or are looking for an upgrade. |

I have to say your "list" is pretty innaccurate... let's look at these. You aren't just "adding weight" with upgrades, you are adding power too... you are only thinking of the negatives in the vacuum and not the positives. Quote:
