Look at page 55 of the 3PM manual. You can set the control of channel 3 to one of the DT "trims". It is set to SW2 by default and when using that setting is essebtially ON/OFF. Setting channel 3 to DT-1, DT-2, DT-3, or DT-4 will make it a fully proportional channel controlled by one of those DT...

I run my SV using two 2S 3700 mAh 20C packs in series. Running a 440/3 I can go for a full mile race plus mill with no issues. I can also run the 4 minute offshore with that prop, no worries. But large packs would not hurt, because frankly with the smaller packs the boat is too light. I'd...

On the Futaba 3PM FASST you can get a proportional third channel by assigning it to one of the digital trims DT1 through DT4.

See, who says a radio does not make a difference!! BTW the speed was no doubt (and Jay has clearly pointed out that there is no doubt) the direct result of his radio. WHich was, of course, a Futaba FASST !! See? Go FASST, or go home!! Ill be here all week, tell your friends. :P

In New York it is the Department of Environmental Conservation. http://www.dec.ny.gov/ You will find this page helpful: http://www.dec.ny.gov/permits/6321.html I suspect that you will at the very least need a grading permit from your city or county in addition to any State required permits...

How long are you getting before it stops?? I ran mine at first with NiMH (3800's) and basically got 4 to 6 minutes depending on how hard you run. I changed over to Lipos and it is faster with slightly longer run times (larger packs). ALso, is everything dry inside?? Water will shut down the...

I posted the info because I thought it would be of interest to people on the boat forums, perhaps I was wrong. Clearly you have information from the IMPBA side of this matter which I do not. And while I am not an IMPBA member, I am an AMA member and active in the leadership of my AMA District...

It is my understanding that Greg Hahn, who is the AMA Technical Director and also an IMPBA member, was the intermediary in this situation. I don't think Greg was acting in his capacity as an AMA employee when he thought of getting the two groups talking. I think he did so as an IMPBA member...

I don't have any real insight here beyond knowing that the AMA was looking at it from the perspective of how it would benefit the AMA. This was being looked at from within the Marketing Committee and their job is to evaluate possible means of expanding the awareness, interest and membership of...

Just in case not everyone has an account on Jim's, here is the post: This is from the minutes of the October AMA Executive council meeting: http://www.modelaircraft.org/members...ecminutes.aspx

What he said. The SV27 is a great boat and the new Aquacraft UL-1 sport hydro is another. But do yourself a favor, learn the basics as Jay says. My 10S gas boat type FE boats have nearly $3200 in motor, ESC and batteries in them. This is NOT the place to learn and to make mistakes. Even doing...

This has been shown to be a hoax: http://www.reggiepaulk.com/2008/10/killath...-buzz-with.html The plane that lands is obviously a model. Pilot's head too small, it is stationary, gear is wrong, spinner is clearly a CF model spinner, tail wheel is a common model type, and worst of all, the...

Send me one of those 3080's and let me run the lights in two weeks in my Sniper. :lol:

A SIG does not need persmission from the AMA for most of its business. If the SIG has rulebook events published in the AMA rulebook then they fall under the AMA rules process, but it is not likely that IMPBA would do that (publish their rules in the AMA rulebook). SO the short answer is...

As was noted above, the RCU forum is a very poor indicator of what goes on in AMA. There are literally a half a dozen people who use that forum to argue for the sake of an argument. I gave up on it some time ago. Also, if the problem is that IMPBA cannot get insured why not find out who does...

People need to understand that IMPBA and the AMA are not "merging". IMPBA will retain its identity if it does gain recognition as an AMA Special Interest Group. Again, AMA has no part in the operation of the SIG pretty much beyond requiring that all members of the SIG also belong to the AMA. I...

I guess what I was trying to do was to show that I have a bit more knowledge than simply being a guy with an AMA card, but I am not in fact on the board of either group. No worries, I like making sure people know what they are talking about and have no issues with being ask the basis for my posts.

I am an AMA Leader Member and Associate Vice President for AMA District X (AZ, CA, HI, NV, UT). This is an appointed volunteer position that reports to the District VP. I represent the District VP within our District and function as an extension of him, sort of an "eyes & ears" thing. The...

Except AMA does not work that way. Individual members have to complete and sign a separate AMA membership application so it would not be possible for IMPBA to submit a mass a[pplication or member list. AMA does not care if its members belong to any particular SIG, but they do require that all...

OK, I gotta ask the question. You have a customer who has NEVER run a boat and he wants to get a 70 mph, or even a 60 mph, boat for his FIRST one?? Despite money being no object, he would do well to start into FE boats at a reasonable place. There is much to learn about batteries, how to wire...
