    3DHS Extreme Flight Slick 580 60" Build and review

    Nice build, I was wondering when someone would do a review on this airframe! Are the tail feathers airfoiled on this little beast?

    DLE-30 Dies When Inverted

    Maybe instead of the metal arm, use a fiber/plastic arm to help absorb the vibration as well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Oracover Bordeaux Red

    Could you paint it instead? Just cover it with white, and buy an acrylic lacquer in a rattle can, paint it Bordeaux red, and put a blue monokote strip on it? Just a thought/idea if you get in a pinch.

    Gotcha. I'm curious to see what I come up with when I switch octanes as well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Ouch!! Depending what oil he used, most 2cycle oil has stabilizers in it. But that's a big oil:fuel ratio difference as well. Sorry man, that sucks!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Been gone on a work trip thing last week... Looks like I get two weeks of rain in the forecast... Hmmmm the H9 15cc Carbon cub is just waiting for its first engine run and a maiden. And the building up the confidence to fly the laser again after my brief brownout... Couldn't seem to duplicate...

    DLE-30 Dies When Inverted

    My DLE35 runs the same way. I cannot seem to tune out the mid range burble without compromising reliability so I just live with it. I'm going to switch to a higher octane (90) and 40:1 to see if that may help a bit???

    So putting together the H9 15cc Carbon Cub... I'm going to have to add 1/2lb of lead in the tail... :veryshocked: This is with the RCGF 21cc twin, with the supplied standoffs so the cowling is back further than where it is "supposed" to be. The A123 battery is located in the aft fuselage half...

    Da-35

    Figured I should put this DA35 engine run on this thread as well for the sake of organization. No numbers to report, just that it's a great running engine right out of the box. Super impressed by this powerplant. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C4-i2hXtuA0

    AJ Laser 230z 73" Build Thread

    Me neither, but it's sure a coincidence. Wondering if the tranny had to think for a few seconds... Battery connection (deans-deans) was solid as well. The 6208 receiver is the standard two antenna type, no satellite antennas available. They are apart from each other, but both facing down/away...

    Got about four break-in flights on this beauty so far. It is buttery smooth flying, Super clean! Mine has a very small coupling to the gear in knife edge. It also floats pretty good too! Man I was having such a good time flying yesterday when.... I had a brief brown-out.... I was in a...
