AJ Slick Motor Question
Hi fellow 42 AJ Slick owners.
I've been flying my slick for around 6 months now and have been teaching myself 3D. I bought the plane 2nd hand and the original owner had swapped out it's Hacker motor for an Overlander one before the sale, this one specifically: Tornado Thumper V3 3530/14 1100KV... I'm running this with 3S 2200mah battery, 40A Esc and 12x6 prop The plane has very limited vertical capabilities and doesn't seem to prop hang very well at all. I can hold the plane vertical for around 4-5 seconds and then it just flops out the maneuver (I'm also having to use full throttle to hold it there) pulsing the throttle doesn't seem to help either. I'm thinking of upgrading to the recommended Hacker A30-28s but the technical specs don't show much of a performance increase. Would I simply be better of changing to a lighter battery (1300-1500) to improve my power to weight ratio, changing my prop perhaps or is my inability to properly prop hang down to a lack of skill? |

I vividly recall thinking how my 42" was a "whole new plane" when I put a lighter battery in it (around 1500 mah). I'm not familiar with that motor to know it's weight and how it compares to the Omegas, but I'd say it'd be a lot cheaper to try a lighter battery first!

An 1100 kv motor with a 12x6 prop should not take full throttle to hover the 42 on a 3 cell. Either your motor is not 1100 kv or your battery is tired. I am in agreement with the lighter battery. When everyone was running 2200 3 cells in the 42 I started running 1800 3 cells. Much better.

I am a bit late to the party but picked up a new to me 42 to add to the collection. I might have a problem...
38, 42, 59, 60 v1 ,70, 71, and 79 v1. |

"that isn't discontinued YET" It seems like every one of the 3DHS planes that I've really gotten to like, get discontinued. (So I guess you all should hope that I really don't like the planes you like! ) |

Well I bought a 79 and 60 a year ago and both of those in the printed scheme are not returning. The littlefoot is discontinued, and so are the 49 Suhkoi, 48 epp extra, 71 slick, 70 slick, 42 slick, 38 Slick and 60 yak. Which is like all the 3d airplanes I own.
