The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread
Just got approval from the company who's paint scheme I'm using for my Super Otter to swing by their decal provider and see if they can scale down and print me some decals for the plane. It will look so much better and I would be ecstatic to utilize them. No idea what they will charge or if they...- AKNick

The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread
More work on the super otter. Strips are made and getting put down. Not sure if I should add the N# or not.... hmmmm. Also how to add WARD AIR on the strips. I can ask for the file from the company and get it printed... curious if it’s worth the hassle or not. The white outline strip on the top...- AKNick

I have the 1250’s in mine and they work great. Yes, I had to elongate the servo bays to make them work. But it wasn’t that bad. Glad to see you making progress on it!- AKNick

110" TIMBER Assembly Thread
None that I know of. But apparently they used to be a lighter rubber and they thickened the material to what your seeing now. The weight savings is significant than that of their competitors. It's a gamble with your wallet, but it may be worth it. One thing I was just thinking of that bothers me...- AKNick

12”x36” for $10 It’s more for cosmetics, no idea when or where I’ll use it. Just for fun really. Kevlar is no fun to work with.- AKNick

110" TIMBER Assembly Thread
The AirTops are 200mm or 7.9", I don't think they make a 8.5" tire. The axel you made, was that for the XCub Gear, or the stock gear? It's nice that they offer a 8x12x3.5mm bearing from TopModel if someone wanted to order a pair direct. Thanks for the link for another source, that will be...- AKNick

My first rc stick build was the sig clipped cub 1/6 scale with dope and fabric. I still have it.... It's a hangar queen. One of my flying buddies told me to move on and have a Viking funeral with it. Have a beer and watch it burn. Get the best picture I have with it, blow it up and put it on the...- AKNick

110" TIMBER Assembly Thread
Not sure if anyone has them here. 8" AirTop Wheels, They appear to be similar in weight like my 8.75" PR's, which are similar to 6" Dubros. I bet they are... similar in function. LOL.- AKNick
