    @wecoyote got some good pictures from our fly in yesterday. It was cold, windy, and rainy at times but we had a good time. First two are of me and the last one is me watching @kwj48 getting low with his EE50cc.

    Had a blast even if it was cold and windy. And only broke one prop and tried the throw the stab off one and. Pretty good day in my opinion. BBQ was also good.

    I still playing with the whipit. Would like to find somewhere that had a little bit of a slope so I could try catching more thermals. Flying it this morning I changed my throw up and I feel I'm getting better altitude throwing it almost straight up. I know everything I have read says aim just...

    Also took my new UMX Whipit out and had fun with it. Wasn't any wind during the video but about an hour later the wind started to blow and I had a couple flights over 2 minutes.

    LIKE 10,000 times. I have been looking into like that Inventables XCarve CNC router. It would do what I needed. Or build my own CNC router. A couple probros have built there own and one of them is a good kit cutter. I have 3 kits at the house that he cut. Great quality.

    If by CNC you meen a scroll saw, exacto knife, and my calibrated eyeballs then yes. This is a slab a probro buddy designed. His is a 56" wingspan and powered by a OS55ax on a pipe. He wanted a scaled down version to have as a yard bird so he made me an offer on scaling it down and then building...

    All fixed. Added some landing gear as well. Made them really short just trying to keep the wieght down. Will help protect the prop though on landings.

    Group Build, 20cc Profile ARF, Who's In?

    Yeah I started up my dle20 today that I just got. That little joker seems louder than my 55.

    Four more flights this morning and I broke it on the last flight. Got to comfortable down low and it smacked the ground. At an angle. Pretty much only broke glue joints. Version two will get a 3/8" thick fuse. To much twist in the 1/4" and the wing can carry the weight. Full flight report this...

    Group Build, 20cc Profile ARF, Who's In?

    All of my slabs I just use a wire or carbon fiber skid on. Lighter and annoys the CJ's when on a black top runway as it makes lots of noise.

    Yeah I ended up cutting foam so I could move my battery forward another 3/16". Seemed tail heavy to me. Agree on the elevator. Took it out to a local park and found some light thermals. Got one flight a little over two minutes.

    What kind of flight times are you getting out of yours? Yesterday I had a best of about 40 seconds but was averaging around 20 seconds. Mind you this was the first time I had ever flown a glider and have no clue at all what I'm doing looking for thermals.

    Who would have thought a couple little pieces of foam could be so much fun.
