    3D MOJO 65 w/20cc Build

    I think you will destroy the wing before the tube bends in this plane. My 55cc edge profile has a 3/4" wing tube in it that is aluminum. Would rather it be aluminum as well. Would rather the tube bend and me see the wings with dihedral in them over a CF tube that will break. Under too much load...

    Mike Hurley Extra

    So after flying my first 35% plane the other day it had me wanting one now. Looking at selling a few things to fund one and would like to build rather than buy an ARF. Looking around at a few options and I have heard good things about the Mike Hurley 35% Extra. Trying to find plans but not...

    Lol. I don't fly anything electric that needs bigger than 4S 2200mah. After that I will bolt a piped 46 or 55ax on the nose.

    Nope not overkill. I run the 3S setup on my VH Giles 202 and it's worth it.

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    Six @IFLYJR let me fly his 35% Hangar9 extra the other day at the field. First time flying anything bigger than 30%. Needless to say I was hooked. Now I'm thinking of what I can sell to fund a bigger bird and have Ben looking at the options out there. Even found plans for an old 36% Staudacher...

    Sport Idiot Boy Builds an Old School World Engines Robin Hood 99 Kit

    No Terry was using Titebond brand CA. I used the Loctite brand for a while but I noticed after a couple of dorks in a plane I used it in that it does not wick in like other stuff. For me now I use Bob Smith Industries for my thin CA and Gorilla Glue brand medium CA. The medium I am able to pick...

    Sport Idiot Boy Builds an Old School World Engines Robin Hood 99 Kit

    The way I do it mike is to copy the section of plans you want on the copy machine. Then you can use some spray adhesive to glue the copy to some poster board and cut it out giving you a template to use over and over. If your only going to do it once though copy as said before, cut out the...

    You know we are all here to help when we can. After you knock this one out I will send you just a set of plans and you can learn to build one completely from scratch.

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

    I have been slowly working on framing up a bunch of profiles and then will begin the covering party to get them all ARF'ed up. Also got a Taranis Plus XD9 recently so I have been playing with learning the programming on that. Its a lot to learn but the capabilities of the radio are unreal. Add...

    Cool. I have flown at the Aeronuts field a few times now but never made the fun fly. Was going to last year but it got rained out and moved to the following weekend that I worked.

    Well the truck is back and going again so back to Rc. Bound all my recievers to my new Taranis, downloaded and installed openTX to use with the taranis, and downloaded and installed the freeware version of Devwing so I can get all 21st century with my designs. Got some learning to do on both...

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

    I will enjoy doing the work just the fact that it's being done on a little 140hp four banger compared to the big little 302 I had in my mustang makes it a bummer.

    IMAC All New 3.1m Radiowave Giles 202 Competition Series Build Thread

    Yes I did the same thing on my big edge profile. Fuse is sheeted foam. One side I edge glued and the other I just decided the gorilla glue would edge glue them for me as it flamed out so I just taped all the edges together with masking tape. Spread out the GG and covered it with 30 cinder...
