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

    Playing with the super otter. Still debating if I need to open up some cooling vents in the cowling rather than just passing air. It’s a scale model, so no hardcore up on the throttle action. Tail is being built up too.

    Scale 20cc Edge 540 Profile “The Glitter”

    Hmmm. The fuselage carbon tube. put a hole in the side of it, run the wires inside of the fuselage tube. To minimize the size of the hole, delete the servo extension connectors and solder the wires. un-pin the servo wires from the connector that goes into the RX and it will come out another hole...

    Scale 20cc Edge 540 Profile “The Glitter”

    I just drilled a hole in my mojo 40's tube. If it's strength you're worried about, take the connectors off the servo pins, and solder your extensions, pull it all through a small hole that just fits the servo wires. I'd cover the fuse, then add the tube personally. Add micro balloons to the...

    110" TIMBER Assembly Thread

    Got my tail wheel fully mounted. Except I’ve bent the spring so many times it broke. I’ll need to replace it. I think the moment of the tire in relation to the pivot point decreased its rotation. May need to change that. Other than that I like it a lot. 2.5oz more than my other design overall...

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

    I have only heard great things about her. I asked the guys here in town about the price. I really don't know what would be better, clear printed white, or white vinyl. Sounds to me like the one piece might not hold up and not look as good since it's printed. That IS my local shop!!! There are...

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

    Anyone have experience with vinyl graphics/decal pricing. I was quoted $130 for clear decal with white letters uncut. Or $240 for cut vinyl. Here is a clip of what I’m doing, note that the ward air letters are about 1.125” high. The price seems high, but I am clueless. I found a plotter cutter...

    IMAC Scratch build Laser 200

    You sure didn't skimp on the material thickness on that control horn. You're prints turn out REALLY good. Do you tap the your PLA parts or use nuts?

    Awesome Video Thread

    I was surprised to see that they used a radial engine beaver design over the turbo beaver design to do the conversion. Pretty neat stuff right there. It will be exciting to see a push for new battery chemistry/storage in the future (with hopes of the RC industry taking FULL advantage of it)

    Scale 20cc Edge 540 Profile “The Glitter”

    So this was one thing I really wanted to do with mine. Airfoil the tail. I was going to copy an airfoil from one of my 3D birds and scale it down to fit this plane. And I agree completely with everyone else. Beautiful balsa work buddy.

    110" TIMBER Assembly Thread

    It's fun, and challenging. If you're like me - the little obstacles to overcome that teach yourself a new trick are rewarding, 3D printing is no exception and a down right fun way to see your creation come to life and actually WORK!

    Big Torque Servos - ProModeler PDRS420BLHV 420oz Brushless servo!

    Like what was said before, the original post had faulty photo's with a different servo that used four bolts instead of six. A mistake, that lead us astray. :deadhorse: John said the photo provided had the information stating it was a different servo, it doesn't appear to be Johns or Rogers...

    3” tailwheel still in progress but it’s looking promising. I may get a 3.5” to see if it fits. I’m getting greedy with this project. The stock wheel is pathetic compared to the 1.75” I replaced it with, then came the 2”... thought I was satisfied, but it drug in the sand pretty bad... here is my...
