Hi Karl,
</div>
<div class="default-style">
Thanks for the invite to share and ramble.
</div>
<div class="default-style">
I'm using JR radios and servos mixed with Hyperion servos. I have two JR XG11MV (11 channel with changeable TX module) that can use Spektrum modulation or JR DMSS modulation modules.
</div>
<div class="default-style">
Motor: Himax-6330-210. I have 3 and they all are great. I'm very pleased with the range of props that I have tried on them (20x10, 20x13, 20.5x14.5 2 blade and 19x13.5 three blade).
</div>
<div class="default-style">
ESC: OS 100 amp. I have 3 but I just had one fail on me. It wouldn't go to full throttle. Couldn't find a solution except the trash can.
</div>
<div class="default-style">
Switches: various (too many).
</div>
<div class="default-style">
Regulator: none. LiFe batteries provide that function.
</div>
<div class="default-style">
Batteries: presently, I'm using five year old Gens Ace 2x5s 5500 mAh. They generally provide 65% per pattern flight and just keep on trucking. F3A used to supply them but not any more. I have found some on Amazon.
</div>
<div class="default-style">
My two planes (Goldberg Obsession and General Hobby Evolution) are holding up very well and I will keep using them next year. I have a Venus II from Great Planes that I have converted over to retracts. The 2 cycle engine is an OS 120 AX and still works great. I used this plane for pattern for a couple of seasons when I first moved here 15 years ago. Then I got the money pit electric bug and it has been hanging up since then.
</div>
<div class="default-style">
I'm in the middle of constructing a Bridi Great Escape (.60 size) and a Bridi Big Dirty Birdy 2+2 1.60 size. They have been sitting on the shelf 50% completed along with some of my old original designs. I'll get 'em done some day.
</div>
<div class="default-style">
Looking for 2023 pattern season to start and getting out with you all next year.
</div>
<div class="default-style">
Thanks for starting this conversation Karl.

The older DS-14 have black and white screens, work super nice yet w/o most recent Lua apps, and I can let them go to some good hands.

Hey Karl,

<div dir="auto">
<br>

<div dir="auto">
I’m getting back into flying pattern and I’m planning on flying in multiple D8 meets in 2023. I’ve got multiple planes to fly and I’ve started working with a simulator to get more stick time and to learn stick movements for more difficult maneuvers. Pretty sure I will be starting out in Intermediate but am excited to get back into it.

I have both nitro and electric and I’ve put most of my batteries in storage mode. But I can still fly over here (near Olympia) in the fall and winter weather. So I plan on flying a smaller pattern airplane this off-season and then getting the bigger ones ready to go next spring and summer.
