    Hostetler Cessna 336 Skymaster

    From my experience with rattle can paints Dupli-Color is the best you can get without doing as Stangflyer said and going to a two part product.

    GSN GIVE-A-WAY Hangar 9 35% Extra 300X Assembly

    That's awesome news. I assume they will be sending you a shipping label to send the old one back.

    H9 15cc Carbon Cub

    Looks good. Bit excessive on the permatex though. I just do a light coat on one piece and it seals great.

    GSN GIVE-A-WAY Hangar 9 35% Extra 300X Assembly

    Who was the designer of this extra? Just seems crazy that he would say that was within tolerance. With the straight edge on the hump it's pretty obvious to me and the aileron being that far off should have never passed QC. That gap between the cowl and hatch would drive me nuts. Is it...

    GSN GIVE-A-WAY Hangar 9 35% Extra 300X Assembly

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

    This servo is different from others I have taken apart before. Most have three short wires connecting it to the board. This one is directly attached to the board so I'm not sure how to go about taking it apart. I'm gonna play with it some more when I get a chance. Been more focused on getting...

    3D JAG's 35% Carden Edge

    I tried to make a folding one. I wasn't happy with how it turned out so I scrapped it.

    3D JAG's 35% Carden Edge

    We have some of these at each field and I made one just like it. Have seen it hold a couple different 40% airframes. Has a spike about a foot long that you push into the ground. The two uprights are just sitting on a post so you can pull them off once the plane is started.

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

    I guess if it's not a gear set or case components then you just have to buy a new servo. They told me on warranty work so long as it's still in warranty they just trash the old servo and send out a new one. I asked if I could purchase the motor and circuit board separate and am still waiting on...

    3D JAG's 35% Carden Edge

    Plane restraints is something the club I'm in has a couple of at each field. I did fabricate my own recently though as a couple other local clubs don't.

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

    Yup pulled it all apart so it was just the motor and still makes the noise. I have some oil that is designed for electric motors that I'm gonna put in it but I'm not sure I'm willing to trust this servo in an airframe anymore

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

    So has anyone experienced this before??? Savox 1256tg. I contacted savox about possible repairs and they said they don't do repairs just warranty work. I got this servo used from a friend along with three others. All have less than two dozen flights on them. Pulled it apart hoping it was in the...

    3D JAG's 35% Carden Edge

    Lol yeah I know wood props work but I can tell a difference in how my sukhoi flys with wood versus carbon.

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    Had a good day at the field with the sukhoi and hanging out with @IFLYJR. He had is 112cc hangar 9 extra with him. This was the first time I can remember that I only brought one plane with me. Put almost a gallon of fuel her and was having a blast despite to 12-15mph winds. I have needed to do...

    Invasion stripes on the bottom and do starburst on the top. Use black. That's my opinion at least.
