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

    Yeah the sukhoi is one of the few round cowl planes that I find to be a truly good looking plane other than the SU-29 with the 2 seat canopy just looks to big. @capthis will hate me for saying that. LOL Mine is a great flying plane but even with a few dozen flights on it now I'm still not...

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

    LOL Yeah on days that I have taking just the sukhoi I have had a blast with it. Honestly I think if it had a bit more power I would be happier with it but I have gotten used to my 13.4lb edge profile with a DLE55 on it so when you go a pop a 16lb sukhoi that also has a DLE55 on it into a hover...

    @stangflyer I'm not a huge yak fan but I have to admit I could get behind that one there. Its a nice simple clean looking scheme on it. I agree on the edge to leave the Checkers off of it. You have lots of nice toys though that's for sure. Me on the other hand I have two nice planes and one is...

    Guy at our fun fly last weekend was starting his dle 170 with an electric starter. He had it on pipes and the tune and prop where way wrong for the engine. From 1/2-3/4 throttle the engine surged horribly and from 3/4-full throttle it prop ripped so bad that I was tempted to get out some ear plugs.

    Everybody forms their own way. I just found that watching the tail you can see the plane starting to fall one way or the other and catch it sooner. At least that's what I'm seeing.

    Only one way to get there and that's to do it. :) Seriously though when your down low and close to yourself it becomes a lot easier in my opinion. One other thing I learned and everyone does it different but for me when I pop into a hover I look at the tail of the plane the whole time its in a...

    heard something rattling in the wing of my 55cc profile. Found this which is the pin at the end of the wing tube phenolic to keep it from going to far into the wing. covering is cut back. It was hard to cut into a pristine covering job. Some of the sheer web removed to get to the end of the...

    Picked up a freebe last night. Was crashed the other day at our fun fly. All it needs is a new firewall and the landing gear mount repaired along with cowl and clear windshield. Think I'm gonna completely strip it though as the covering is pretty tired. It's a world models 1/4 scale clipped wing...

    I'm running a pair of 1600mah 2s life packs in my 3DHS 75" extra with VVRC 40 on it. Last time out when I smashed the plane I had four hard 8 minute flights on it still had 60% capacity in both packs.

    It's all CNC router cut not laser cut. It's all figured in in the program though. All corners are rounded. Should all fit together nice and tight.

    Coming home from NC last night meeting our new nephew we heard a hissing sound coming from the car then the AC quit. Got home and found a hole in the condenser. Took it all apart and found the culprit. 1/4" Allen wrench got kicked up and went into it. I'm just glad it didn't go all the at...
