....What motor are you running on your Shogun/Zoom ?

[Hotshot Charlie]

Ok folks, since I am in the process of buying a brushless setup for my Shogun, I thought this might help me make a decision on what to buy.

Not running anything right now as I'm just putting the Shogun together, but it's got a HA2025 in there now. Mac had everything I needed (and then some) except the LiPoly batteries and they probably will be at his place in a day or two and he is to ship them on to me. It's a 125 mile drive up to his place so it's not a trip you can make every day.

I'm an old timer from way back and Mac had a good laugh from my 20 year old JR Apollo and JR Mk VIII radios that I took up to have him look at. Also brought the place down when I asked if Kraft still made radios. So I've come back to Valdosta with a carload of stuff from Radio to CA.

Well you gotta start back somewhere I guess. I'll probably post a picture of the progress from time to time being that's what I do for a living. Nice site here and I've already gleaned a great deal to try and get myself up to speed again. Going to be fun unless my wife finds out how much I left at Mac's. It's great to see all the help that is freely given out here to us Nubies??

Hey Tommy,

My first radio was a Kraft 4 channel, that I paid over $500 for..... late seventies! hehehehee

Welcome back, I have also been in and out of the RC hobby over there past 20+ years, it is never too late to come back. I got into heli's last year and it is great. You will have a ball !

Check out "Starting My Shogun Project" that I have posted in the Shogun/Zoom section. It has photos and info for the build up.

Take care and congrats, welcome to heli's !

[tconnell]

Hi Rob and others,
Rob I had your Project sheet printed out and already 'dog eared' before I went up to Mac's Monday. It's super and so far I've changed the rear LG bracket and also had to do just a touch of frame removal just under the main gear. Plan on getting back to it later in the day. I am impressed with the build of the Shogun. My only problem was that one of the struts on the LG was bent up about ½ an inch and has a crack in the bend. Guess it got tweaked somewhere. Already emailed Mac on that one.

I know that I can build the bird and get it setup to fly. In looking over the TX manual last night, it's such a jump from my old radios I am going to need some good help on how to set it up for the Shogun and will be asking my questions about that pretty shortly.

Thanks Rob, and if by any chance you know a great photographer over there in Tupelo by the name of Terry Woods, say hi to him for me.

Regards,

Tommy

[Hotshot Charlie]

Hey Tommy,

Glad the project is coming along and you are having fun with it. I am still working on revising the existing tail drive system. I will post more on what I do, when I figure it out. hehehee

Yes, it's a small world, Terry Woods is a family friend. He took all my baby photos about 50 years ago. Great photog..... he made even my photos look great. heheee Terry was living in Sherman, MS then moved to Aberdeen and somehow I think he is back in the Tupelo area. His health was not too good when I saw him last year at Jim Green's funeral.

Nice to meet you and let me know if you need any help on your Shogun or other projects.

[Pipefish]

HI there folks!

Do you think I can use the Het Thphoon Micro 6 brushless motor and Tsunamy 10 ESC for the power?
