    110" TIMBER Assembly Thread

    LOL! I said it was a TANK. WAY too big. It's on a diet in CAD and being reprinted in silver as a version 2. I still think it'll be an improvement over the stock hard foam wheel, and it's cheap.... the optional scale tail wheel is expensive, so I'm making my own ha ha.

    All I can say is that it’s a tank. Need to trim it up and make it smaller/thinner. My concept design works though! Looking at a 2” wheel in there. It will be printed in silver eventually

    Spent a large portion of my morning trying to get my printer to behave. Used my other printer, with better success. I failed to set up my supports, but for a concept it works.

    110" TIMBER Assembly Thread

    Are you using the V2 tanks? I really like the V1's but the V2's I'm skeptical about. I don't like how you have to CA the lines in place, and the vent tubes appear kinked at the bend. They are probably the lightest tank on the market though.

    Designed a tail wheel bracket for my 110” timber... couple little things left and then time to print it. OEM is 1.4” wheel, this would be for a 1.75-2” wheel

    Not sure what size fuel tank to put in here for my 55... I'd imagine a 20 oz would be perfect. Since I cannot find a 20oz tank, I went with a 24oz... Seems way too big to me. Anybody have insight to a DLE55 flight times with a 17 or 24 oz tank?

    Hard to beat I think. It's stronger than a 35cc, reliable, 100% serviceable if it's a little too worn out, just send it in!

    GP 76 twin gas engine

    I've been looking at this thing for quite some time. I don't like being the test subject on a new product, but now that they've been flying for the whole summer, I've heard nothing but good comments, cannot beat the price with mufflers and the power that comes with it. Someone mentioned that no...

    Going to use some MPX connectors for the wings. Always takes me a while to figure out where to hardmount them. This seems like the ideal location since the can be plugged in from the top or through the canopy.

    Getting my DLE55RA ready. Installed a bowman ring (Bjorn Baal is he new owner) I got this one from VVRC. OEM ring was .011 gap. Bowman came at 0.001 gap! I prefer a little bit more so I filed it to a .003” gap. It’ll break in and open up a bit more, still way better than the OEM. Gap was...

    110" TIMBER Assembly Thread

    I hear ya. I'm becoming more a fan of equal distance from the pivot points. I have no research. What I do know is that the lower hole is roughly just below 1.5" from the hinge line, and the upper hole is roughly just below 1.75" from the hinge line. So If I use a 2" arm, I'll have the option of...

    I played with my DLE20 that’s supposed to go in the glitter. Put a bowman ring on. 0.004” Gap wow. Slapped a little VVRC bling on the diaphragm plate. Then check the timing. Stock was 35’ and brought it closer to 30.

    Glued my wing control horns in. I didn’t bother taping. Fill the slots with epoxy, nice thin coat of epoxy and it does on pretty even and squishes our a bit. Any excess is cleaned up with a towel soaked in isopropyl alcohol.
