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

    Thanks for the input guys. Your thoughts are on par with what I was thinking. Pretty much going to have to give them away on dollars. I’ve already been looking on RCG to find anything of value and really the Ikons and the Aerocoups are the largest dollar items at $250 IF someone wanted to buy...

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

    RC estate question... Anyone have any experience with these kits? Ikon N'West Models Stinson 108, Taylorcraft Jack Stafford Aircoupe Wing MFGR A-26/P-38/P-39 I told the family I'd look over the 50 kits and 40 plans to tell them if there is anything worth selling themselves and for the local rc...

    Yippee! What the postman brought

    guessing you don't live in china??? With Memphis being the FedEx hub, that's normal. Anchorage, I see that because its the Alaska hub, and last pit stop before international.... or Alaska destinations like myself.... FedEx slogan "The World On Time" sounds like it's going around the world on...

    X cub making progress

    I've done both, and prefer the canopy glue because it cleans up better and has a harder hold than clear silicone. Because silicone has a rubberish feel when it's cured, when wiping down your plane with a towel will stick to it and rub it off potentially. You could fill larger gaps with silicone...

    AJ Laser 230z 73" Build Thread

    Just for a scale reference. The mountain to the right is a 4,000ft peak. The Mendenhall Glacier is to the left of that. I am very close to sea level. I do take the view for granted from time to time...

    AJ Laser 230z 73" Build Thread

    VIDEO! After the years this assembly thread has been posted, My maiden video was terrible... my wife tried but I couldn't edit enough to post (bless her heart). I finally made a video of this plane flying around doing some 3D maneuvers. It's shot with a GoPro Hat clip cam, so it looks farther...

    Yeah, that is too bad. I snagged a used pair on another site for that reason. You can try and find some AirTop tires. They make up to 8" tires. currently out of stock at Espirit and Topmodel, but the 7" are in stock...

    Yippee! What the postman brought

    A lot of people are happy with them, They are one of the heavier 70cc motors on the market out there. I'd look up some reviews on how other folks are working out their CG with the XCub. Who knows, maybe it needs more weight, in that case, you could even get the remote starter version ha ha! I...

    GP 76 twin gas engine

    Wanted to do a comparison of the 70cc class motors now that the specs are mostly out on the GP-76. The GP76 is only 0.213"/5.41mm Wider cap-cap, 0.19"/4.826mm Longer Mount-Hub, and 0.088lbs/40g Heavier (without muffs or ign) than the DA70. so less than 1/4" dimensionally and under 1/10lb...
