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

    At Christmas time every year a local hardware store sets up a huge railroad display. I think it's in the ballpark of 30'x80'. He designed it as a pretty modular setup and adds to it every year. Did a lot of local stuff on it as well. Put the local drag strip on it and when asked he flips the...

    3D How to "build it light"

    Lol terry I will run these and see how they hold up in this plane. I have heard of guys running them in 100cc planes no problem but I'm not so sure just yet. I have the 770's in my 40 size profiles and love them. These 772's and I have a set of the 771's have a slight amount of slop around...

    3D How to "build it light"

    Agree with everything others have said. Proper choice of equipment makes a huge deal. I picked up a Carden cap from a buddy. When he was flying it it weighed right at 20 pounds. By the time I was done with it it only weighed 18 pounds. I never expected to be s me to cut that much weight but I...

    Smoke systems

    So I'm gonna install a smoke system in my 30% Carden Cap 232. How about some pictures of how others have theirs setup and what they like and dislike about their setups. Got a smoke pump coming from a buddy not sure what kind if is but I'm gonna give it a try.

    Prop bolts....what's the consensus?

    So quick question to those on this thread. I forgot to measure a bolt before leaving for work and want to order a box of bolts for my DLE 55. I know they are M5 bolts but how long are they supposed to me? Would like to order them tonight.

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

    Bart what's your preferred flight controller? My 250 quad has a cc3d in it and I need to do some tuning on it. The quad flys awesome but I would like to set my first flight mode up to have the quad be super stable for when I finally put my fpv gear on it and start learning fpv. Any suggestions...

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    Maidened my 30% Carden Cap232 today. Flies nice. Has a little bit of the cap snap but not bad. First flight was a shake down and to get my nerves out but the second flight I gave her hell. Not much of a 3D plane but scale aerobatics are good. Gonna through a smoke system on it to really have...
