    Anyone have a good source for Radio set-up

    Your basically setting it up to feel linear. If you were to not do a throttle curve on a gasser and have perfect 1-1 geometry on your linkage then when your throttle stick is at half throttle your pretty much almost fully open on the carb. So you adjust your curve to compensate for it and make...

    Anyone have a good source for Radio set-up

    Bart I have considered getting a taranis just I have so much futaba stuff already. Throttle curves are nice on the gassers and even my glow planes that run pipes. Helps give a more linear feel to it.

    I do the same thing using a three position switch controlling the rates of all the surfaces.

    Sunday night GSN Update

    I know nothing I see nothing. ;) That being said though there have only been a couple rough ones on this site and the main man Bartman did a pretty good job of nipping them in the butt early on.

    Sunday night GSN Update

    You said it perfectly and I think its exactly what Bart was going for with the site. For this place to feel like a home.

    Scale 50cc Scratch Build From My Own Design Revisited

    It may not be for everybody and my color match was slightly off (I think because I used to dark of a primer under neath) but on my latest project I use a latex house paint. I cut it with minwax water based polyurethane and sprayed it on. After it cured for a couple of days I just used rattle can...

    I gave one suggestion for what we could build to bolt that 50 on.

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    That would be the EE60 sold through Wrong Way RC. Landing gear looks like ones a probro buddy was making and selling for a while expiermenting in finding a replacement for tetherlites. Don't think he makes them anymore.

    Sounds like your getting comfortable with both of them. That's great.

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

    So I had this idea for a while and decided to put it to use. On a couple slabs I have built the counterbalances didn't come out exactly straight with the LE of the stab. Was only noticeable if you put a straight edge against it but still I knew it was there. So on this one I built the stab first...

    Hangar 9 33% Edge 540 Recover

    All finished up and in its owners hands again. Thanks to @Terryscustom for answering the phone and telling me what I was doing wrong while trying to set up the dual aileron servos. Got them all matched up per his video. All that's left is for my buddy to loctite a couple servo screws and balance...

    3D JAG's 35% Carden Edge

    It will take less lightening in the tail than you think. I think someone once told me that for every ounce you remove from the tail it's like adding 3-4 ounces to the nose. Put wheel pants back on it at some point though. Ain't right for the ole girl to be running around naked showing off her...
