Title: Want to buy a new starter kit (Electric or glow) Post by: Shrikant on November 24, 2009, 01:50:21 PM Dear All,
I am keen to buy a new starter kit (electric or glow). I am a complete newbie for R/C, though back in school days I used to build gliders and control lined models out of balsa. Actually a couple years back, I had bought an ARF (CESSNA 180 of Wattage). Details: http://www.rcuniverse.com/magazine/article_display.cfm?article_id=318 and http://www.hobbytron.com/Watt-Age-Cessna-180-EP-RTF.html which came with a 4 channel radio. A trip to race course at Mahalaxmi made me realise that it was not a strong model and the motor was just enough for park flying. Now I am keen to buy another model , but use the same Radio Tx and Rx. Can anyone suggets if same radio can be used and if so, a decent starter model? Thanks...

First Of all, What happen to the Cessna?? is it still alive? Secondly if you want to buy a new Starter. please go for E-Starter or MR. MOSS, both are available with Sai. Yes you can use your 4 Channel on any of the plane mentioned above. if you have time, call me.

Title: Re: Want to buy a new starter kit (Electric or glow) Post by: Shrikant on November 25, 2009, 10:58:48 AM Thanks to both of you for your quick replies... :thumbsup:
The Cessna is still there... I am too keen to fly it also. Just that the group at racecourse said it cant be, because it is too under powered. (Ofcourse motor lasts only for about 5 mins). I have two sets of batteries. I will be too happy to try again. Maybe upgrade the batteries to LiPo and motor also to brushless... hey that seems good idea coming our of this disucussion. {:)} I shall contact you soon and take more guidance.. Thanks again....

He retrofitted one of his brushless sets onto my small Wattage Cessna 180. Gotta buy the Lipos and am ready to fly... Title: Re: Want to buy a new starter kit (Electric or glow) Post by: sandeepm on November 30, 2009, 01:11:38 PM Best of Luck for your first flight..... :salute:
Title: Re: Want to buy a new starter kit (Electric or glow) Post by: Shrikant on December 04, 2009, 01:03:06 PM @ Sandeep, I intend to buy 2 nos of 7.4 v 850 mAH battery and required charger for the same from Sai. That should suffice for each lesson of my learning...
@Sai and Sandeep Also, I intend to purchase the A2204 brushless combo, so I can replace Sandeep's combo... But I saw on your listing, another brushless combo which is A2212 brsuhless combo. I intend to fit it on Wattage Cessna 180. You think this will fit? :headscratch: If it can, I would prefer the A2212 considering that I can then use it for bigger models once I grow out of Cessna 180. 8-) The Wattage Cessna I am talking about has been linked in my previous posts Title: Re: Want to buy a new starter kit (Electric or glow) Post by: rcforall on December 04, 2009, 01:42:10 PM The 2212 is over over over kill for a 6 oz plane ( 168 gms ).
2204 itself should be OK otherwise go in for a 2805/1400 KV .this motor can be used with a plane like slow stick later as well. Sai Title: Re: Want to buy a new starter kit (Electric or glow) Post by: Shrikant on December 04, 2009, 02:37:16 PM Ok Thanks..
So Now I think I can put down my final shopping list: 1) 2 nos of 7.4 v 850 mAH batteries and required charger (That takes care of 2805 motor right?) 2) 2805 Brushless combo with appropriate ESC and 8 x 4 prop (props would be 2 in number, just in case) 3) Accessories like prop adapter and bands etc. (please guide me on that) Sai, can you please give me the link to your these listings? I could not find them. I could find the motor alone but i need the combo.. Title: Re: Want to buy a new starter kit (Electric or glow) Post by: Shrikant on December 09, 2009, 12:03:22 PM I finally ordered a Mr Moss kit from Sai... I figured, that I need almost all parts of Mr Moss (except servos and few small parts), so figured, its best to have a complete kit for a little incremental cost so i can switch models.... 8-)
ordered 1 battery extra for added flying time on the field... :thumbsup: Waiting for the parcel to arrive..... (:|~ Sandeep, hopefully i will be joining you at the field this weekend.. shall call you... Title: Re: Want to buy a new starter kit (Electric or glow) Post by: anwar on December 09, 2009, 01:54:14 PM Sai - What are the chances of you coming out with a Moss version with a reverse mounted engine/prop ? This goes for other shops too !
I know you have one already, I am talking about a more widely produced, mass consumption one. Title: Re: Want to buy a new starter kit (Electric or glow) Post by: Shrikant on December 12, 2009, 04:33:44 PM Hello Sai,
Just a feedback.. the Moss kit that I ordered from you has not yet reached me. :help: I know your shipment was prompt, :thumbsup: but it is ridiculous to note that DTDC brings a shipment from Chennai to New Bombay in 2 days and does not deliver it within New Bombay (radius of 2 km) for the 2 more days... :headscratch: Website says "out for delivery" since 10th December.... If I'd set a turtle on the track, it would reach faster :giggle: Been following up (took me a day to get their numbers.. only addresses on website. No tel numbers). May be you could feed them back :violent: and they would listen (you being a regular customer) -Shrikant. |
