91" SkyWing ARS 300 Assembly Thread
After pondering why my engine deadsticked, having a little tuning troubles, I decided to clean the carb. Other than a little bit of junk in the screen , a little reside from a needle - it seemed fin to me. Slapped it back together and went back to basics. GP-76 screws are both set at 1.75 turns...- AKNick

Scale 20cc DHC-2 "Beaver" Kit Build from Moustache Model Works
I'll have to download it and see how complex his designs are. I just recently started following him on FB, man he has a lot to share! edit: just did. His design is 3D so it's more of a static design 360 degree. But may still work. Very Cool! I think this is 1/6.3 scale, so may not work. I...- AKNick

Scale 20cc DHC-2 "Beaver" Kit Build from Moustache Model Works
Cut out the molded plastic parts. The kit includes optional parts to retrofit what scheme you’d like to model after. Easy for me I don’t need an upper or lower intake because Alaska Seaplanes made a field approval (I think) to remove those and have a direct air intake on the lower cowl... which...- AKNick

110" TIMBER Assembly Thread
Well it weighs about a one pound less than my DLE55RA, Which would eliminate the tail weight I needed. It's also about 0.14lbs heavier than the DA35, and 0.4lbs lighter than the DA50 - on paper. My thoughts are it's overpowered with the DLE55, if your doing 3D awesome. A 35cc will work great if...- AKNick

The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread
Maybe I should rephrase that. Plane covered in ultracote, and adding monokote trim lines. 1/4” roughly.- AKNick

110" TIMBER Assembly Thread
Every plane in my hanger has a purpose ;) and each do their own escapades. I love flying the TBM on floats, slightly underpowered with the fiberglass floats for hanging on the prop. But it's quiet on floats with the electric motor and doesn't bother people which is super nice. On gear... the...- AKNick

110" TIMBER Assembly Thread
Thanks for the kind words! I also have both planes. The 110 Timber flies and floats great... especially with those huge flaps! I'll be putting on my LE slats this summer as it sounds like it alleviates the wing tip stall I've seen with mine and will mush the tip stall. With the plane so heavy...- AKNick

110" TIMBER Assembly Thread
Yup! They want the “look”. Full scale guys are the same way. Ha ha I have yet to find anybody to post a video on ugly terrain. Now that I know my TW bracket is functional I can attempt gentle flights off rocks- AKNick

110" TIMBER Assembly Thread
I thought I saw somewhere they were having international shipping issues due to the pandemic? Not sure, they seem like a proactive company. I’m sure they’ll figure something out. As far as the tailwheel. My design really isn’t that clean in CAD due to all my revisions. Takes half the day to...- AKNick

110" TIMBER Assembly Thread
Got three more flights logged on the Timber. Tried a new location with some wind. 10-20mph. I had fun doing some high alpha landings, and ended up dumping the left wing in the sand. Easy repair for later. It’s on video too, so I’ll get working on it. My latest version of the tailwheel...- AKNick

Discussion The I’m Going/Went Flying Thread
My local soaring guru called me up and said to meet him with the Alula at the hatchery where the winds were about perfect. I never had so much fun sloping. Little wind moving up the hot rocks from the cold ocean provides a little bit of lift. This is a chuck I did, later the winds picked up and...- AKNick
