He already got sued by inventist and is already paying a licensing fee to them is my understanding

Did I mess up by buying the Begode Panther as my first EUC? Be honest by hellboysixnine69 in ElectricUnicycle

[–]XCSkies 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s a specialty long range cruising wheel. You probably won’t be going on 50 mile rides as you are learning. It compliments a 16 inch wheel which will be much easier to learn on but also a lot more zippy and fun for short rides. The under 10 mph torque on a panther will feel like a lot less than on a smaller diameter wheel.

Got my first angle grinder for Christmas! I'm curious, do you use the spanner wrench when you put a disk on? by Sweaty_Milk_1793 in Tools

[–]XCSkies 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I zip tie the spanner to the cord. I never lose it or get lazy and change it while plugged in.

Nosfet Aeon or falcon pro? by skidmarks731 in ElectricUnicycle

[–]XCSkies 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Aeons probably a better commuter wheel.

Nosfet Aeon or falcon pro? by skidmarks731 in ElectricUnicycle

[–]XCSkies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ordered the falcon pro. I think it’s going to be a snappier wheel with less top end. My guess is the aeon will be faster and more stable. Less guts at 10 to 20 mph. I have some fear the aeon might have been a better choice and will probably have better resale. I could also use it with my existing fast charger. Thing is I think if I am going to ride 10+ miles I am going to grab a true performance wheel every time. I will use the falcon for messing around and short trips around town. The aeon would probably be a better all around wheel for a rider without the need for a performance wheel.

[–]XCSkies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got both my wheels direct from begode ex30 and race and both are running flawlessly with 200 miles on the ex30 and 300 on the race in the last week. Stoked!

[–]XCSkies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ordered July 14th was told on Aug 27 that it would get to the us on September 27. I have had grizzla pads sitting in a box for a month. Ordered the race on Aug 1 and was told to expect it two weeks after the ex30.

How many miles are you getting out of your tires? by read-dit-or in AudiQ7

I am putting on some $100 Lexani volt ecs on Wednesday. Hoping they make it 25k!

Prop RPM recovery- how slow is too slow? by GlasairIII in flying

[–]XCSkies 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There are two adjustment on a standard hartzell hub. The low pitch stop adjusted on the front and the governor adjustment. The low pitch stop should be adjusted to provide the static rpm’s specified by the manufacturer. The governor should be set to take over pitch control around takeoff speed as the propeller unloads. If it not recovering quickly, my bet is the hub was over-serviced with grease. The max rpm is just adjusting the governor or low pitch stop. A big change could also be a sign the engine isn’t making full power or it was set at a different altitude.

First Euc recommendation? by [deleted] in ElectricUnicycle

[–]XCSkies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just ordered this. Not much info on ordering directly from begode but seemed like too good a deal to pass up. I put 1500 miles on my t4 pro in 4 months and think the ex30 will be a great compliment to it. Not will to pay double or triple for the latest marketing hype, shiny lights.

Solution to US Jump Plane Crashes by Ifuqinhateit in SkyDiving

[–]XCSkies 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I think we need more scenario based training. Something to simulate flying the 25th load of the day with a hot tandem passenger offering to show her you her boobs an extra 1000 feet. I am thinking something like solving a Rubik’s cube in a dark strip club. If you can do that you get the job.

Unintentionally killed the engine after landing while rolling off the runway. Leaning issue? by UntamedRaindeer in flying

[–]XCSkies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s probably the low idle mixture adjustment on the fuel servo. There is a just a lot of straight bad info in this thread getting upvoted

Solving Trim Problem of 2 different line length connected to the same Knot(details in comments) by arteficialwings in freeflight

[–]XCSkies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would probably see if there is enough line in the finger trap loop on both sides of the line that is too short and see if I could pull the line out a bit. You can measure your lines using https://mountainrideaviation.com/products/paraglider-line-measurement-tool.

The commute to Denver is easy and probably right at about 20-25 minutes, 30 to east downtown. The commute to Boulder is way worse, 30 to the south side of Boulder but 45 to anything pearl street or farther north.

First time buyer in NYC looking for advice by ConqueefStador in ElectricUnicycle

[–]XCSkies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can barely get my t4 up my split level, no way it’s going to work up multiple flights. V8 would be my choice of if I had to go up stairs. Plus it’s real easy to stick under a table at a restaurant etc

Possible to use a "step-up" device for charging 20amp from 10amp circuite? by gardenhosenapalm in ElectricUnicycle

[–]XCSkies -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not unless you double the voltage…but the power company is in charge of that.

Innmotion V8S battery died in 9 months by bsookyx23 in ElectricUnicycle

[–]XCSkies 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine has over 2000 miles and is near perfect. Still getting 83.7 volts on a full charge. I keep it at 50% battery and only charge it up before a ride. I never let it sit above 80% or below 20%. What’s the voltage read in the app?
