    My fear when building one of my planes and I beefed up the landing gear plate area was that in a bad landing the gear wouldn't give and would end up tearing even more of the fuse out

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

    So I built my first mini quad at work last night. Also took possession of a Carden 30% Cap 232. Me thinks I need to make some shorter standoffs for my DLE 55.

    3D Builder wanna-be looking for equipment ideas.

    Yup not a problem. There are many great profiles out there. Just remember that any of them in the 40 glow size range are gonna be pretty flippy floppy. I here the EE60 (20cc size) from WWRC is pretty flippy floppy to but most of them that are 60 size or larger are pretty tame and floaty.

    3D Builder wanna-be looking for equipment ideas.

    I cant stress enough what Terry says if looking for a table saw. I have 2 both of which where giving to me. one has the el cheapo top and the other though still a cheap saw has a nice cast steel top that is dead flat. My only complaint with mine is the stock fence system that came with it is...

    Sport Midwest Cap232 (old kit) DLE55

    When I build mine it will get a DLE 55. Might be on hold building it for a while though as I'm getting a 30% Carden cap 232 in a trade so my DLE 55 will be going into that.

    On a slab I just cover the sides and fold it over. Not sure how thick the fuse is though so that might not work as well if it's thicker.

    Made these at work the other night at work. Will JB Weld them into the ends of a carbon arrow shaft and have a 4-40 hole in them for a piece of threaded rod. Custom push rods.

    I like aluminum gear for the same reason that it flexs. I will prolly never paint my gear anyways I like the look of them being all sanded down to about 2000 grit paper and then polished up. Nice and shiney.

    Peak Models 32% Extra 330 SC

    HAHA funny stuff. I was watching that video and thinking to myself man that field looks a lot like the field I fly at. Then the crash happens and he turns and looks at his buddy and yup that's two members of the club I fly in. The guy flying is actually a really good pilot but generally keeps...

    Sport 30% Edge 540 Pete Marshall Plans with Laser Cut Short Kit

    nothing wrong with CA. I believe most of the fuse structure on the Vipers that Terryscustom has been building are glued together with CA. My last couple of profiles have been completely glued together with CA minus the tube and motor mount area that get epoxy.

    The stick bangers thread

    That's the one problem with slabs. Don't get me wrong I love a good profile but most of them are so light and have such huge amounts of wing are that when you try to do anything high energy it's gonna do the first move just fine but trying to get it to carry through to the next stunt is hard.
