    Anyone mess with rockets? I've been playing with making this Estes Mega Der Red Max into an L1 cert rocket. From factory it comes with 1/8" ply fins that you're supposed to laminate balsa over to achieve a total of 1/4" of thickness, and it comes with 1/8" ply motor rings inside. They have it...

    When the weather is good (330+ days a year here) we go play. Besides, we don't have AC garages so they're just as warm as outside. Fun fact, all of the DA engine development has taken place at the club I fly at. They run great, even when it's 115F outside. Also fun fact, we don't have...

    Well, here in Arizona, you either fly in the heat or you don't fly at all. It's not so bad during Monsoon season when the sun is blocked out by thick clouds in the afternoon. Normally, Monsoon rains come and wash over us for 10-20min then the air is nice and cool and makes for perfect flying...

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

    Putting together this hoopty for a buddy. I wound up buying a new 70CC airplane after lightly crashing this unit from an engine issue so this one was going to go to the scrap heap when he stepped up to take it from me and buy new parts. OF COURSE I got roped into reassembling it for him. But...

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

    Been messing with some glow stuff lately. This OS 46FX started giving me some trouble last week with leaking out the rear case gasket and not wanting to hold a tune anymore. I don't know how old it is, or how much fuel has been ran through it, plus it was making some bearing noise, so I tore it...
