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

    They are thin. 1/2" x 1/8" where the plans call for 1/2" x 1/4". Also the outline of the fuse sticks are only 1/4" wide where originally it was a 1/2" square stick. This is basically the version of this plane that was designed for a piped os55ax and has gone on a major diet to get it down to a...

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

    Built a fuse to go with that rudder I built the other day. This one is turning out nice so far. Being built to certain specs for a buddy and keeping it as light as possible to be able to use the electric setup he wants to use on it.

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

    I have been flying futaba for the six years I have been in the hobby and have loved every minute of it. That being said though I recently picked up a Taranis X9D using FrSky protocol and I'm really impressed with it. I like it so much that I will be replacing all my futaba stuff with it. I was...

    Yup I have one of those as well as the smaller purple trim gun. Both work great.

    3D MOJO 65 w/20cc Build

    That is a touch heavy but it will be fine. Will still pull out of a hover just won't be ballistic.

    I do not plan to try and use it on any balsa. I do a lot of other woodworking as a hobby as well so that's why I wanted one.

    Got a new to me toy today. From what I can tell it has never been run. Just needs some surface rust cleaned up on the guide post and height adjustment screws. Nothing a little scotch bright and lithium grease cant take care of.

    Didn't like the yellow spinner. Until I can find an aluminum one I like I pulled the yellow one and painted it red.

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

    I'm hoping it flys well. Videos I have seen of it seem promising. This is my first plane with retract so I looking forward to that part of it at least. That was one negative of it though. The gear doors that came with it stood way proud of the wing and I just felt would be adding extra drag so...

    It's the Phoenix Models Strega. Club member gave it to me. Said he bought it and put it above his shop. Took it down to assemble it and saw the wing loading and decided it was too much plane for him. This is the 55" version and I have an OS 50sx in it. They also make a 30cc version.

    Alert! ??? RedWing RC???

    I was wondering the same thing. They just now upped it from 50% off to 60% off. I hope they aren't closing up. I have dealt with Tim a couple of times and wrote a manual for him and he seems to be a top notch guy.
