I don't recommend that you take it very far using a dx5. I've ran out of range in under 300 meters using a dx6i. I was however using a park-flyer diversity receiver. What receiver are do you have in yours?
Also, I highly recommend an FM or UHF system. Currently flying 72 mhz without any problems.

YES, Jack, join us
And very nice mark. May I ask why you didn't choose to go with a micro controller? But it's very cool that you're willing to design you're own analog circuit when there are lazy fecks like me around

Son, is that you :shock: GTFO it's MY son :D though you can still pay alimony :D function https://fbcdn-profile-a.akamaihd.net/hprofile-ak-ash4/592323_139752699512554_1881565849_q.jpg https://fbcdn-profile-a.akamaihd.net/hprofile-ak-ash4/592323_139752699512554_1881565849_q.jpg https://fbcdn-profile...

After becoming frustrated with the impracticality of my bbmg in airsoft games, and being too cheap to buy an alternative, I decided to create the most accurate airsoft gun I could. Then, for the hell of it, I slapped a micro controller and 2 high power solenoids to it :lol: Random Specs: Controller:...

Jack- Surprisingly so :D Thanks, I guess I'll continue as planned then Gun Freak - They are supposedly tested to 600 psi, but then again they are made in thailand :roll: I was more worried about liquid propane reacting with galvanized steel in some way than the shear pressure alone. Unfortunately, I...

Wow... It's been a while :shock: Well I've been thinking of using an emptied 5lb ABC powder fire extinguisher as a refillable propane tank for one of my creations. I am posting this to ask whether this is safe or not. I know it would be able to handle the pressure initially but I am worried about th...

It's been nothing put lurking for the past few months with me too.
I'm in a similar situation as Fnord;
I used to have time and no money, but now, instead of having money and no time, I have no time and no money.

I don't know how you got 5.6 in^3
140.1 * 0.042 = 5.88. Not 5.6

Heh, actually a pretty cool idea. In theory, I don't see why it would't work, however, in practice, the "skirt" around the qev might give away.

easily carry 20 or so grams of magic powder in a fragmenting case

or a 300ml liquid nitrogen bomb?

I am TERRIBLE with math

Not exactly the best hobby to be terrible at math in.
Don't take that the wrong way, i'm not telling you to quit, just ask your math teacher for help or something... lol
How old are you?

Could the low power be caused by the piston retracting as the gun shoots? I know thats the point of the design but you could install a pneumatic restriction so the piston retracts slower

Awesome.
I love the big red "FIRE" screen

less like

So I still sound like a little girl then?
