    Does it still have good pull out of a hover? I have gotten used to the power I have on my small 40 size profiles running piped 46-55ax motors.

    Yeah that was three years ago. Was just sore for a few days and a couple cuts and scratches from crawling out the passenger side of the car. Couldn't get the drivers door to open from the inside.

    Only one picture and not of most of the progress on the night. Got the stabs and elevators hinged and servos installed and hooked up. Using a smart fly equalizer on them and got them set up perfectly and matched at full travel both ways. Also got the rudder hinged up and pull-pull cables...

    Suggestions for shipping a large kit box?

    That will be a nice one to get to build then and give it a modern swing on things. A buddy has a 1/3 scale Lanier Giles that I wouldn't mind having.

    Before I drilled three trees with it I was able to fit a 30% airframe in my hatchback focus and prolly could squeeze a couple foamies in with it if I had tried.

    I have one of those kits as well. Hadn't thought to get it that light. I was hoping for around 15lbs with a DLE 55

    And dialed in it is. Where the wife and I shoot it is about 40 yards so I have the scope dialed in for that. The critters better stay out of my garden.

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

    So I was piddling with the sukhoi and saw my second fuel tank sitting up on the shelf. It got me thinking about adding smoke to it. I have the tank, the pump, and all the lines needed to do it.

    I will say I have never hauled anything in an open truck though it would prolly be easier to load then. First thing I bought when I bought the truck was a nice camper shell.

    I have a trailer. It's out there, sitting on a trailer lot, waiting for me it buy it. So yeah I have a trailer. LOL In all seriousness I would really like a trailer though. 7' bed on the back of a ford ranger limits what can be carried. Prolly could fit two 30% planes in it but nothing else...
