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

    I did re glue them together with welders, curious if I should cut a clean line to sever the airlerons and do the blenderm to welders trick to improve the flexibility. It see's like the welders makes everything stiff, and the EPP hinges sure dont help with the flexibility. Iv hear of guys cutting...

    Sniff So blenderm??? Also stripped a rudder servo... high speed knife edge over asphalt did not fair too well. Need to work on my piloting skilz After lots of very hard research, I decided the old faithful 74” edge 540T from extreme flight will be my replacement airframe for my 71” slick...

    Install a Smoke System

    I'm debating whether to dust off my TME smoke pump, or just buy a Power Box Smoke pump. Anyone have issues with the TME's?? I like the idea of no check valve with the powerbox.

    Basically yes. I bent my resistor end up towards the opening and positive contact with the little spring. It touches the opposite side of the boot. Pretty much... I would take a good reference from another cap to get the idea. The overall method seems primitive Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    AJ Laser 230z 73" Build Thread

    Flew the Laser a couple times yesterday after finally figuring out how to re tune the needles properly. Two 13min flights drew 656mAh with a 5 min warm up. Engine still sounds a little funny in a left wing down knife edge, seriously considering buying a fancy carb plate, or even opening up the...

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

    I replaced the boot on my DLE35RA. Basically cut the heat shrink, the shell is in two pieces with little metal tabs bent over to hold them together, there is a little crimped band under the heat shrink that is easy to manipulate off, then everything falls apart. I was surprised to see that the...

    The Sullivan S216 claims it it Fluoroelastomer, guess what Viton line is... Fluoroelastomer! It might be altered a bit, but I'm guessing it's Fluorelastomer died yellow with their chosen ID/OD.

Side by Side trainer that is aerobatic apparently, kinda reminds me of a zenith 750 but with a bubble window. And it looks like there is a tailwheel too by the way... (tail skid wheel).

    Question? Which brand LiPo battery to buy?

    Never heard of Revolectrix, did some digging, they seem legit! Might be worth a try based on the reviews I found and the price. http://www.store.revolectrix.com/Products/Blend420-SILVER-Label-70C-GOPACKS?range=21%2C40%2C43 Do you get them from their site or somewhere else?

    Question? Which brand LiPo battery to buy?

    I've had little experience with them, think I've only owned a couple and they were fine. The question boils down to application prior to brand selection. I love the nano-techs for my foamies - they have always been flawless and cheap for me. Pulse are my go to for a reputable brand that seems to...
