    91" SkyWing ARS 300 Assembly Thread

    Used Two R7008SB receivers, BoomaRC Multi Switch with two Pulse 2550 2S, direct input with no regulator or other interface. I did split the plane but looking back I don't see the need to or that it would ever help if one lost connection. If someone doesn't want the extra antennas just go with a...

    Yippee! What the postman brought

    Gotcha, They look like rubber rubberized foam core. Seems like what a lot of companies are doing these days. The Kavans are nice, but still pretty hard - more give than the foam core versions though.

    Discussion The I’m Going/Went Flying Thread

    No worries, I feel like I am out of sync with my planes lately only getting brief outings due do weird work schedules between my wife and I and the kiddo (I've had very little sleep the last few days) and I went out this morning because mamma and baby were still asleep. The DLG glider has been a...

    Discussion The I’m Going/Went Flying Thread

    Went flying the other morning on the lake. I was having a peaceful day. but then some tourists showed up and I wanted to show off…imagine a full throttle on the deck pass, when stupid (me) forgot to take it out of high rates and wanted to get closer to the water. I slapped that poor plane on...

    It's the PR Bushwheels ;) They weigh like 1.2lbs each. Congrats on the re-maiden! Yeah, I agree about the excuse... seems like they could have kept it alive - but who really knows what's really going on behind the scenes.

    Setup & Modification Video is up! Also found out why the Timber 110” became discontinued. Turns out the vender for H9’s Timber 110 didn’t come back after the Chinese New Year.

    Discussion The I’m Going/Went Flying Thread

    Eagles here are just glorified vultures LOL! I had another fun experience where a few eagles were circling above me so I launched up to them, a few more eagles joined in and I was trying my best to avoid hitting them. There were eight eagles plus me all going up in the thermal. At one point my...

    I've been flying the snot out of the Flitz2. It's just super convenient to fly for me. Today I had a neat experience at the turf field after work, the wind was calm, but then it was switching back and forth. I looked around and felt where the breeze was going and launched high (well for me)...

    Been flying my Flitz2 DLG and OMG!!! Couldn’t be happier with the performance in signaling, launching, control, and my ease in finding thermals.

    Sound like big plane problems LOL! :rolleyes: I know all about small field landings in tight spots... I dead sticked my new 89" laser on the second flight to a perfect landing. lucky to have airspeed and altitude on my side.

    110" TIMBER Assembly Thread

    Time to call them out on it and have them send you a roll to the Philippines ;) Honestly it kinda blends itself together and looks neat. You could even make another accent stripe between the colors (eg: silver/red) that tapers to the fwd side a bit. maybe that's just my artistic flair but, it...

    Cub 1/3 scale

    welcome to GSN! I'm not entirely sure what you are asking. There are several different methods to secure wings in place. The most common is a nylon wingnut through the fuselage and a metal blind nut (T-Nut) on the backside of the wing root rib. BUT there are many other options but they all...
