    Sport Shapeoko 3

    So @Bartman here is a review of inventables newest CNC the XCARVE. Biggest plus to this over the Shapeoko 2 (not sure about the 3) is there are far fewer parts so it goes together quicker. Yes it has to be built but I would think it would be well worth it as you get to know your machine and what...

    Sport Shapeoko 3

    I have seen quite a few reviews of the shapeoko 2 on the woodworking YouTube channels I watch. They seem to really like. I would say the biggest problem with it is the router it comes with is a piece of crap as it just doesn't have much power and its worrthwhile to upgrade it.

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

    To go along with the repairs of the mojo. Stripped the rudder swervo in the dork. Had another hitec swervo that had a messed up POT pulled the gears out of it and put them in the other and look a new swervo. Only down side is that the gears I put in it are helicut gears so it's a lot louder than...

    I will have to find my pictures from my old thread on that site that shall not be named but I had documented where I had polished the spinner for my cap232. I made an adapter to hold the spinner in a metal lathe. Spin it up to speed and slowly start working it down with finer and finer sand...

    And to finish the repair in true half ass I'm ready to fly this thing again I used plenty of packing tape to hold the covering in place and rebuilt the tip of the aileron with three layers of cardboard. Time to try and tear it up again.

    It's no biggie I was given the plane in a well used and abused state and told fly the hell out of it until it's no more. Plane still flys awesome even though it is beat all to hell.

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

    So my ambitions got ahead of my abilities this morning when flying my mojo40. Tried to kick it into a KE right on takeoff and didn't have quite enough altitude when I rolled. Caught the wing tip crunching it really bad and cart wheeling the plane. Didn't break anything else though, even the prop...

    3D Would love to see detailed build videos here.

    I love mine. I got the one with the wide angle lense and I'm starting to regret that as I can be hovering 10' in front of me and it looks like I'm 25' away. Might order a new lense and swap it out.

    A real R/C story

    Sounds good. I'm gonna request that my clubs fun fly be sept 11-13. Can't promise I will make it to south boston in September but I will try and I will be happy to make up the flyers. I will pull some new pics from your facbook page from the last event so it is a new looking flyer.
