    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    Nice have fun. I'm less than an hour from Richmond. Would say you could come to my field and fly for a bit one day but the wife and I leave for Maryland tomorrow afternoon for her grandmothers 80th birthday.

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

    I said I was starting a new build shortly didn't I? Got the stabs built for another pair of stix41's. One is built normal and the other the customer requested I add counterbalances to the elevator on his so on they went. Also cleaned off my table saw so I could cut a couple sets of sanding...

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

    I want to build a mojo60 some kind of bad. I have a beat up 40 that I love. I'm going to be recovering a hangar 9 33% edge 540 for the guy I just finished the kadet for. The scheme will require the glass method and I will prolly pick up a new larger piece of glass before doing it. Thanks bud...

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

    Forgot to post these this morning. Basic run down of the glass method. Still plan to do a video though so stay tuned. First off you need a template to go by. I trace the fuse out on butcher paper. Then I can draw out my scheme to see how it's going to look. Ounces that's done I lay another...

    Naw it comes with fixed gear and that's what he wants on it. He plans to use a DLE 20 and not sure about what servos he will use yet. I would like to have it as its a nice airframe. Yup there will be. Might do an assembly thread on it.

    So I finished up two projects. The owner of the kadet came by to pick it up and dropped off this as the next project. Luckily he isn't in any rush on it though as I have other projects to start on.

    Expanding "Local Action", Deleting "Groups".....Comments?

    Sounds like it would work for me. I'm a member of a group but don't think anything has ever been posted there.

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

    Yeah I'm really happy with how the scheme turned out. Only thing I don't like now is the white half circles. They looked good when it was just the wing but once I put it all together I don't think it looks as good. Appreciate the kind words. The one thing I have noticed with a lot of schemes is...

    @pawnshopmike she is all ready for you. Since the motor your using is the same as one I have on hand I fabbed up a mount for it. Airframe minus the motor wieghs 30.87 ounces. Also pretty much wrapped up the kadet. Just gotta add the checkers on the elevator and balance it. Once that's done I...

    Sounds as though I don't have a choice in the matter here. LOL I will be starting my next build soon so expect a video in the next week or two.

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

    Yes I do you glass that way when I lay it on the airframe it's all one piece. I think on my next build I'm going to do a video of the process. This covering is ultracote and not sure if windex will work with it. I know it works for monocote but doesn't work for the hobby king stuff I normally...

    How's this for the layout on the fuse mikey? I know it looks like a lot of white on the bottom but a lot of that will get cut away where the bottom of the fuse is undercut.

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

    Got the stab for @pawnshopmike profile covered. Took almost 3 hours to do but I was taking my time making sure it was right. Got it hinged as well. Hope this is enough throw for you mikey. Also spent two hours figuring out the layout for the fuse. Went through three different layouts before I...

    Same here. I'm one of the youngest in my club at the age of 30. Yet oddly being one of the youngest I'm one of the few in the club that builds.

    I have scratch built a couple of their planes and they have all flown really well. I can honestly say that FliteTest has been great for the RC community, especially those who are just getting into the hobby.
