Run day reports.

No changes to settings of the 1st run but tried a little more pitch with less diameter. No thermal this time but lost about 12 mph.

Dave with his Titan and Chris with his Pursuit in a little P mono run. It didn't last very long though.

Thanks for the vids Bill

[osprey21]

Yup... "upside down" is my middle name.

[bill34207]

Only a few vids today since I forgot to charge the camera last night. :rolleyes:
1st up is my Avenger trying a timing change and a detongued and back cut X452. Didn't quite make it the full 6 laps but this time it wasn't from a thermal cutoff. :p

Next up Scott's Cheetah and my Cheetah bashing around the course. I think I must have forgotten how to drive.

Finally the big dogs come out to play. Scott's & my S-T monos. Both Promise Hobby 47" hulls, both powered by Castle 2028's running 9s 2p. This is where the camera ran out of battery.

That hole on the back stretch is something else.....

Chris, I tried calling you. If you see this tonight, give me a shout

[ron1950]

hey bill ...ya know i still havent run my 47 yet? what prop did you finally settle on? how much triming did u have to do to yours? i have a couple of 5 cells now but really know nothing about the computer set up on the castle 200hv... ill prob wait and bring it down some time and see if u can help me set it up some....talk later ron

[tiqueman]

Ron, in answer to your call, I think its just a combination of the hull, weight and speed its carrying. I kept catching cross wakes on the back stretch and it would go nuts and outta control. Then I bent some hardware at some point so I couldn't control it any longer at speed. Its the second time Ive run it, the first time it ran almost flawless.. I think I had my cog a tad further forward but I dunno.....

I sometimes run a X457/3 and sometimes a X460 2 blade on mine Ron. Since mine is using a Swordfish ESC timing degrees is a little sketchy. Currently have it set at the mid setting. On a Castle I'd say 10* works pretty well or at least it does in my Falcon cat.

[ron1950]

i have a 457/3 right now and planed to run on 10s..not sure how great these cheep 5s bats are but what the heck

[bill34207]

Mine broke the 70 mark on 10s 2p with the 457/3. I didn't run but a few laps with it that way though. Was scared I'd cook something.

Jason, Rich and Scott in a round of LSO

My 2215 powered Avenger cat. Getting more than a little aggravated with the ESC in this one. It made 8 laps just fine with a X450 prop. Bumped it to a detongued X452 and it thermaled.

Finishing out the day with some 6s SAW runs on Scott's HPR

Hey Ron, I sent you a couple PMs about your custom size 1515 jacket, it has been done for a few days. Will you PM me your address where to ship it to please?
Sorry to put this here guys but he must not be receiving his PMs.
