What do you guys use to clean the oil and crease off your nitro planes? I've just got a acro wot. It's my first ever nitro plane. Only had electric before this. After the first flight it was dripping with oil and grease.
-
Right. I've got so far in the build. Now it's the fuel tank. How does it secure In? From what the instructions say, it just pushes into the whole. It rattles about? That can't be right can it?
-
Yeah, I've got extensions. Once wings are all glued together there is no where for wires to come out? I guess I'll have to gut a whole somewhere but am unsure where it needs to be?

Hi all. I've just bought an acro wot mk2 with a nitro engine. I've just learnt to fly and so this is my second plane. Anyway
I've just started to build it. Have installed the servos in the wings but am unsure where the servo wires should some through? For some reason the instructions do not show this? Can anyone help with info or picture of where I need to feed them?

Hi all. I've got a maxthrust riot at the nomen and am look for my next model. I want to try a nitro model for my second so as to get more flight time. I was thinking about a seagul Yak 54 but am not sure if that is a step too far for a second plane.

Hi peeps.just quick question regarding charging rates. What is the maximum safe charging rate I can use in these little 1cell lipo's for my rc helli? I've been doing them at 0.3 amp
-
I would also strongly recommend joining a local club. I've bought park flite models in the past with no success what so ever. The most I ever managed was 7 seconds in the air before the inevitable.
-
I vote would be a max thrust riot. That's what I've bought to learn. Really stable.
-
Sorry, yeah bottom right. Doh.
Whilst I'm storage charging should I connect to the balance board?

Hi all
I've got a max thrust riot and would like to remove all the decals and paint it.
Can anyone recommend a foolproof type of paint that will not melt or destroy the foam?
It also has to have a good strong finish. I don't want it feeling or flaking off?
-
One last question, do you know what the counter in the bottom left corner is for? It seems to go up by 1 every 5 second or so?Yus, i'm new too! But it's all good fun!
I'm the opposite, nitro is doing my head in but electric is lovely! (compared)
-
I guess time and patience in both cases are needed. Cheers for your help buddy.
-
Thanks for that. This lipo business is kinda like a mine field to me at the moment. Ask me about nitro issues and I'll probably have a good idea how to sort it. But electric it all new. You just hear horror stories about lipo's exploding or catching fire.
-
It's set at 11.4v. I'm coming down as the battery was almost full. If I increase it from 0.1a will it be safe then as am new to lipo and don't want to burn the house down.
I'd have some explaining to do with the wife.

Hi all
I've put my battery's on to storage charge this morning. So far it's been on for 120 mins and cut out due to a time limit on the charger. Can I increase it to more than 0.1a
Would it be safe to go this?
-
I'm trying to put my lipo in to storage till next week. Can anyone tell me if these figures look about right? It's been on for nearly 1 hour now and nothing seems to change?
First time with any sort of lipo so any help would be great?

Hi New some help with my max thrust riot. Think the esc needs setting up? It's brand new. I've fitted my dx6i radio gear. When I connect the battery the esc makes loads of random beeps. When beeping the motor will not work. When it finally stops all seems ok. All servos work. But suddenly the motor will fire up and will not be able to stop. Or motor will kick in when I touch rudder? Any ideas?
-
Again, thanks for your help this morning. I have 1 fully charged battery now.

You've been a massive help. Thank you. 1 last question. If I do an automatic charge, will I need to change the charge rate or will it select it automatic?
-
Right, think it's working. Only thing I'm worried about is the battery is 11.1v and the charger shows 12.1v is that right? I really ain't a clue. Just don't want to burn my house down.

Thanks. Do you have the same charger? Once battery is plugged in will it start automatically ?
-
Help me out here guys. Does this look about right?
First time ever with lipo battery's.
Do I just uh it in now and off it goes? And do I need to use this little board? Think it's something to do with the balance charge?
-
That's great advise. So a balance charge is advised yeah? Do you have this particular charger? Do I have to program the charge rate or will it do it automatically.

Hi guys. I'm needing some help now. I've just bought a rc plane to learn how to fly. It's a lipo powered one. The problem I have is I'm totally clueless when it comes to electrics. I've read storm guides but still a little baffled. Ask me about nitro and I can answer most questions. But electric is all new to me. I've bought a etronix 80w balance charger. The instructions are awful. Very poor English and does not make sense to me. I've bought 2 overlander 3s lipos 2200mah 11.1v Can anyone tell me how to charge them? I was hoping to just be able to plug it in and off it goes but it would appear it's not so simple. Do I need to balance charge them, do I need to do anything different for there first charge? Please help.

Hi all.
Just a quick question. I've just got into planes 6 months ago and have bought myself an edge 540 powered by a dle35. I'm currently building the plane. Now this may sound a sill question, but can you take the carb and throttle arms off and move them 90degrees? It may sound a silly question, but I don't want to take the screw out and the carb fall apart inside.
