    Estes HoJo With 29mm Motor Tube Buildthread

    Hey Thanks!!! Yeah, this one was definitely considered to be an eventual sacrifice after I fly it on some smaller motors first and finally fly it on a G-80 (depending on flying conditions of course). OR shows 4300+ altitude on the G-80. I did try the "puff test" (blowing air through the bottom...

    Post a pic that makes you LOL

    Once again, I stand corrected, Thank you Sir! I've only bought 5 of the 18650s, that's what I paid so that's my "street price"....$4.00 The 2170s are about $6.00 each....so simple "street price" math = 7000 X $6.00 = $42,000 And of course, I would hope that if I was buying over 7000 batteries...

    FWIW, the 18650 battery is one of the most common batteries for vaping, though it was created to power electric vehicles. It takes over 7000 of the 18650 batteries (typically) to power the Tesla..... At around $4.00 street price each, do the math....$28,000 for batteries... They aint cheap, I...

    4" Madcow Black Friday AGM 33 Pike "Overbuild" Thread

    Been on hold figuring out the DD vs the single deploy and not wanting to exclude the former from the latter, not to mention having the capabilities to change the amount of nose weight to compansate for different motors.
