    3D MOJO 65 w/20cc Build

    Fuse on my sbach 65 was 5/8" thick and it worked well with a little plate to hold the receiver.

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    I think the little bit of wing rock will go away when I get the balance worked out and my expos set right. Plus take into account it's a dle55 on a 13.4lbs plane so the torque of the engine kinda rocks it a bit. Kinda wondering if I need to try a diff prop.

    3D MOJO 65 w/20cc Build

    I used to use medium ca to glue sheer webs but it was advised to me to not use ca at all but rather use wood glue there. With ca there is more of a chance of it popping free in a hard load. Like Kenny said no need to make fuse wide. In a 40 size slab the wing will normally be one piece and...

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    Was a good say flying yesterday. Only 5 flights on his so far but I'm getting used to it and really liking it. A touch on the nose heavy side currently but I will get that fixed before the next outing.

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

    Building a 66% Senoirita. Comes out to a 44" span and ubber light weight. Fuse as it sets in the picture is 1.23oz. Will get a blue wonder setup. Been fun building it but takes a little time. All framework in the fuse is 1/8" square sticks so I'm using wood glue over ca as ca will wick into the...

    Sport JTEC RADIOWAVE 26% Pitts Model 12

    Found the pictures in the old build thread I did over on FG of the stool sample as well as a pic of the pitts Dr E turned into a monoplane. Also is a video of it flying. This dude has done some wild stuff over the years. I remember him posting a pic one of some like 40 size nitro bird that he...

    Not sure if I saved the instructions. I know I still have the sample and the container it all came in.

    Group Build, 20cc Profile ARF, Who's In?

    Sorry for the late reply. Been busy at work rewiring a 400 ton hydraulic press that caught fire on Monday. Personally I would not take either of those when it comes to a slab. I think most of the arf profiles out there are fine for flying around but get a good bit of wing rock in ha and don't...

    Any way you cut it it looks like you have a lot of wood in your future.

    Group Build, 20cc Profile ARF, Who's In?

    If your looking for a kit you can't go wrong with wwrc. In the 20cc size there is the ee60, hazzcap sukhoi, and lamsuk of yak (whatever it is). The Sukhoi and ee60 are basically the same plane but the ee is a touch smaller. I would pick one of those over the lam wing plane but that's cause I...

    Well get him to join over here. His build threads were always fun to watch. He was even kind enough to mail me one of his Stool samples one time. :omg::omg::omg::omg::omg:

    DrEvil turned his orginal jetec Pitts into a monoplane. Did it over on FG. I'm sure the jetec guys now about it as I think drevil lives around them. Haven't heard from him in a couple years though. He was a hoot.

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

    This is as far as I had gotten before I started working on other builds I needed to knock out. Had a buddy use devwing to draw up the wing to the specs I wanted but everything else will be done by hand. A few things are changing on the wing as well such as I will be doing a double bevel on the...

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

    Yeah pretty much. 60'ish wingspan and right at 1000 sq in of wing area. DLE20 for power and hope to keep the weight at 7lbs or less, once you get to 7-1/2lbs the dle20 starts lacking in the power department.

    Lol. I'm going a different direction with mine though. Mine will be a 20cc profile version and its main purpose will be violent high energy 3D.

    Looking good. Makes me want to get back to drawing on the Giles I'm working on but too many other builds to knock out first.
