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

    Nice Plenum Plate. I did the same thing on my old 94' Dakota. Bought it from Hughes racing I think. Still blew the gasket. I no longer have that truck. I used the "Right Stuff" to seal it. It I were to do it again I would have used High Tack... That stuff is wicked good at sealing... almost...

    Scale Pitts S1-T, S1-S, and a Challenger.

    I agree with mike, keep it the way it is, like the photo you just posted, or if unless you have a wild hare..... Quick tip, maybe after you upload the picture, add it as a thumbnail or full image for the detailed pics. Makes it a little easier to see.

    Discussion The I’m going out flying thread 2018

    Snuck in one flight. Played with my Throttle curve a bit more. Also took away some expo in the elevator on high rates. Found myself chasing the sticks in a hover. Took out 10% and it’s much better!

    Scale Pitts S1-T, S1-S, and a Challenger.

    I cannot expand my imagination to anything else other than the bulldog that wouldn't drastically change the scheme as it is. It would be cool to cross the traditional schemes of a Christian eagle, bulldog, python... I like the starburst/feather design like what's on the underside of the EF RWB...

    Didn't realized what I started LOL. I just wanted to say wish more kids could find the joy in building and flying model airplanes. Not going to play the pointing finger game. But I will say my parents didn't raise me with cable television. . . I was outside playing, or inside building. If...

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

    While putting away my plane the neighbor kid wanted to show his buddy my airplane hanger aka "garage". I was flooded with questions, like "how much does that one cost?", "what's your most expensive plane?", "which one do you like the most?", "Check out all the crazy switches on his radio!", Add...

    Yippee! What the postman brought

    Um ya... try shipping random odds and ends to Southeast Alaska without Amazon, you wouldn't be buying much. Most of our planes coming in are hauling amazon boxes. More boxes = more jobs = healthy economy = nick gets his goods shipped cheap and relatively fast. When I worked on the FedEx planes I...

    3DHS 75" EDGE 540 V2 Assembly Thread

    No flight stabilation for me, just thumbs! My spinner backing plate had a QC issue, it was ground uneven so it had a wobble. Called Zach at extreme Flight and after he received a picture, he said he’ll ship another one to me.

    Made a shelf in the back for my GPS module. Futaba SBS-02G. Now I should be able to know when I’m hitting 400ft. Has to be in a spot away from carbon and wind/airflow. Proved to be hard in a carbon frame.
