    Shout out to Aircraft International

    When I was having trouble with my 150 TOC we spoke a few times and I finally sent the engine to him. He called me back after having the engine for 2 days, told me what was wrong and the cost. I paid it over the phone and had the engine back in 3 days!!! The engine has been running like a clock...

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    That sucks! Hopefully it will dry out fairly quick with the drier air coming your way :)

    Airtronics Users

    I am currently running multiple RX's and have the plane split with opposite control surfaces on each rx, left elevator, right aileron, throttle and one of the rudder servos on one rx. The rest plus a choke servo on the other rx. I am running JR matchboxes for the 3 servos per wing. I would love...

    3W 106 strange behavior

    I switched to the aluminum also, but evidently got a couple that were just bad enough to cause a slight leak :)

    3W 106 strange behavior

    @Kevin-Young, I went through everything twice with a fine tooth comb before digging in to the engine. Once I had no other alternative, I pulled the carb, carb block and reed block off and went through all of them and it appears that the issue has been resolved :) Thanks for offering alternatives :)

    Soloshot anybody? Anyone, anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

    I was thinking the same thing. I would love to have one, but to much of life going on at the moment for that kind of expenditure :)

    The Happiness is thread

    Happiness is watching your children overcome adversity and succeed when life throws them a curve ball :) It makes you proud as a parent that they are flexible enough to look outside the box for solutions and if the first one doesn't work they keep on trying until something does!

    3W 106 strange behavior

    I know it has been a while, but we have been rained out for a couple of weeks here. The last trip to the field after a full rebuild and leveling of the aluminum reed cage and carb mount was very encouraging. I have it just about fully tweaked and it will knife edge both directions again :) I...

    Giant Scale RC Why do this? Seriously??

    For me it is therapy and a release from the stress of work. I have 2 planes, 35% Extra 330SC that I got dirt cheap and had electronics and engine from another plane I got dirt cheap. The second is a 42% Edge 540. The airframe was bought new after a mishap with an airframe that I got for a song...
