    110" TIMBER Assembly Thread

    I could try and get those measurements. If it were me I'd probably just measure you're current distance and just go to the hardware store and find a few different pound size springs to find what you'd like best. Measurements wont help if you cannot get the correct lb tension.

    Seriously! @TonyHallo when looking at your pictures, there is so much attention to detail in your craftmanship from fixtures to building I am impressed. It's total eye candy to me. As far as the window tinting goes, there is a thread floating around here somewhere... Use Automotive Taillight...

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    Sounds like Skywing needs to come out with Bipe! LOL I love how fast I can put my 91" ARS together. It takes me longer to hand crank my fuel into the tank... maybe I should finally get an electric pump.

    89" SkyWing Laser 260 V2 Assembly Thread

    After understanding 3DP limitations and our own designing capabilities, the possibilities and designs keep presenting themselves. It's very rewarding to create from a thought or an idea. What if I could???.... eureka! Speaking of uploading, I uploaded the LED holder last night!

    Scale RCM 1/3 Scale Champ Build

    I've seen and done quite a few full scale window replacements. There is a LOT of different techniques. There does seem to be a trend of applying a strip of felt where on the inner surface (bonded to the frame) and then sealing the outer surface with two part sealant such as Proseal. I think the...

    89" SkyWing Laser 260 V2 Assembly Thread

    Was debating how and where to mount my LEDs for the tech aero and the AR switch. Both were different styles with the same 5mm LEDs and I didn’t care for either. So why not draw one up and 3DPrint one!?! From drawing to being printed in less than 45min I am thrilled with the outcome! Another...

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    I guess waxing my plane paid off. Had a guy come check out the 91” ARS and was just in awe. He was petting my plane LOL!!!!! Running his hand across the glossy cowl LOL. I’d say that’s a pretty good compliment regardless if I didn’t want him touching my plane. Oh well, some people just gotta...

    Printing is done. I think they’ll work nicely! Maybe a bit heavy. I used 10% infill, so they are basically hollow.

    Awesome Video Thread

    Cannot get enough of John Woodfield RC Gliders Channel. Slope thermal gliding at it's finest and so relaxing to watch. This glider is a modified Leprechaun modified from free-flight outerzone plans to a 2ch RC.

    Awesome Video Thread

    Don't think Jase spent a lot of time prepping for this. John had a teleprompter for him. Maybe he'd give away more trade secrets if he hadn't :speechless:. But seriously, lots to learn from the pros... and the comments to their videos.

    Finished installing my J&J Tailwheel by putting some springs on (from the timber... I lost the ones included.... whoops.) I also managed to whistle up some brass tubing to make a wear sleeve so the cables don’t dig in. Then I thought, maybe I can put another tube inside of it and have a poor...
