Discussion Connectors; ESC to Battery. What Are You Using And Why?
I have run into some poor Deans/T-Connectors before. If the flat to flat connection is off just a tiny bit, you are not getting a very good connection (look at the used connectors and you see uneven wear)I use to be all about the Deans connectors, I'm converting to XT60's instead for this reason...- AKNick

Discussion Connectors; ESC to Battery. What Are You Using And Why?
Reviving an OLD Thread. There are a lot of Anti-Spark plugs out these days and not a whole lot of explanation of how they work. I have made a JST connector with a resistor to it, I'd plug the JST connector and then the battery connector, then unplug the JST circuit (didn't really have to it...- AKNick

110" TIMBER Assembly Thread
Alright! You can get different bearing sizes for the AirTop Tires I believe. X-Cub supplied axels are 5/16" I believe which is basically 8mm. (check post #12,18) I used a 3.5" offset arm I'm pretty sure. Look up rudder Pull-pull ackermann geometry. You want at least the pulling cable to be tight...- AKNick

The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread
That Odyssey is gorgeous BTW. I've got seven projects going at once... something I always say I'll never do - douh!! Other than working on the 75" Edge motor to engine conversion, The MMW Beaver taking a break (lost momentum very close to being covered), The ARS getting some more cowl opened...- AKNick

110" TIMBER Assembly Thread
Glad you got to get her out! Where is your CG? Still at 4” gotta bring it aft. Flies so much nicer. I have yet to hit my prop, but I also have 8.75” tires. The gear is meant more for impact protection... I tested this ha ha It’s a yellow plane... you’d have to recover the whole thing. I like...- AKNick

3DHS 75" EDGE 540 V2 Assembly Thread
Been slowly tinkering away. Work, sleep, and baby are slowing productivity. Redesigned another air dump. Forgot to get a better picture. The smaller one I made a last week was painted white and put in the back. Made a place to mount the ignition module. Designed up an ignition wire...- AKNick

I think the warbird guys use a 22x10 on a 55cc. You could venture into a three bladed prop.... it would loose some power, but you have excess. A 21x9 would be too small.- AKNick

91" SkyWing ARS 300 Assembly Thread
Flew the plane today. Cylinders are getting too hot I think. What is the temp range? I heard 250 and under, not over 300F. My right (rear) cylinder is running 30-40F hotter above half throttle. I’m thinking of opening up the cowl some more. I did adjust the HSN richer about 1/8 turn and it...- AKNick

110" TIMBER Assembly Thread
I have a 3" falcon spinner sitting here and it will fit a Vess 20A wood prop and the falcon 20x9 CF. It does not fit the falcon 23x8CF - it hits the mounting tabs.- AKNick

The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread
I was flying my 3D foamy in the yard and some kid and his parents were walking past (giving them a small airshow of course) but the kid yelled "COOL! Dad, can I get a drone?!" . . . I was disappointed in society and all of humanity at that point. were doomed folks. doomed. One day kids will like...- AKNick

110" TIMBER Assembly Thread
Unfortunately options are limited. I got a 3" falcon, but the spinner cone hold down screw pattern isn't wide enough apart for a 23x8 prop. It will fit a 20x9 for a 35cc. I went with a 3" center bolt spinner. You can actually find them very cheap online, quality control isn't very good, but you...- AKNick

Discussion The I’m Going/Went Flying Thread
I know, it's terrible. It's strange having no tourists here this year. we were expecting 1.8 million people this year before everything shut down for COVID. It's so peaceful... not helicopters running 12 hours a day nonstop, downtown is just locals. It's wonderful yet horrific for many friends...- AKNick
