    Yippee! What the postman brought

    Thank you eBay and Taiwan for saving me $30, May have taken 2.5weeks to get here, but hey thirty bucks is thirty bucks. Now I’ll be able to see how high I’m flying. Since I’m talking cheap, I emailed horizon hobby for a free download of there new RF8 HH update, and after a few days I got an...

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

    16 gallons of glow... WOW I used to go through about six before switching to electrons and gasoline. I go through about 5-6 gallons of gasoline each year and I only have two 35cc planes! I so wish I had a field to fly at all day in the summer... who knows, maybe one day.

    Alert! That time of year again! Shirts/ Hats

    Hey guys, just wanted to inform you that Dennis is getting out of the hobby and off the forums. Just issued me a refund on the goods I had pre ordered in June. Just FYI if you were still in limbo like me. I e-mailed his website sales@knifeedgegraphix.com and he got back within ten hours. Sounds...

    Only if I can get @stangflyer to team up with me. I could use his technique of sugar coating a description into making anyone want whatever he is describing. But really... car salesman level 1000 LOL

    NEW Hitec Servo! HS-488HB

    $18/0.18/6V/83ozin/3pole ferrite/karbonite. What's interesting is the absence of a phillips head screw and the use of an allen head! Also 25 tooth spline like Futaba... Is Hitec going this direction instead of the 24T?

    There goes my float pond. Will probably thaw out again, but I think this means it’s time to hang the floats and put on wheels or get some skis

    3D Printing General Discussion

    Believe I made a final version of this. I love the cross bar design, simple, effective, clean, and easy. I recessed the Futaba letters on the cross bar and it printed well. Slight flex in the case showes that it’s getting depressed enough. At 50% speed, 1.5mm resolution, 30% triangle infill...

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

    Moving up in the world to see what the fuss is all about. Been using STHL ultra from the beginning. Amazon decided they could ship one gallon for $67 (total/shipped), and I found some 200cc syringes on amazon as well. So 2gal jug gets 190cc of red juice for a 40:1 ratio. I calibrated it too with...

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

    @Xpress That link was no good for some reason. @acerc I think the permatex did it's job mostly after about a year i peeled off 3/4 of it, the muffler is pretty soft aluminum in my opinion. I think the vibration may have let the DA and the nordlocks wear into it thus making it loose. To be a...

    I honestly think the nordlock washers did their job. There was copper rtv on the flange and bolts already. I blame it on abuse LOL
