    I plan to build a profile around mine but I am keeping my eyes open for a uses 30cc airframe I could stuff it in to have fun with for a while.

    Sport JTEC RADIOWAVE 26% Pitts Model 12

    Tell me about it. Back before this last thanksgiving my wife's cousin came to town from Cali and stayed with us for a two nights. Was the first time we had ever met his wife and four year old daughter. Not ashamed to admit I cried having to say good bye to that little girl. She instantly became...

    Sport JTEC RADIOWAVE 26% Pitts Model 12

    Coming along nicely. Wait till I get to work on this 30% One Design I just picked up. I'm a cheap ass so I take a piece of covering to lowes and have them match it in latex paint. I then do a mixture of 50% paint, 40% minwax water based gloss polycrylic, and 10% water. Then go back over it after...

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

    When I start working on it there will be a build thread. Wing still needs to be built and I see a lot of places in the fuse I can remove material to cut some weight. The one design is a pretty neat looking bird in my opinion. Kinda looks like they took a Pitts s-1 fuse and slapped some extra 300...

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

    Well since no one seems to be guessing I will spill the beans. Never heard of the company that makes it all I know is it came from Australia. It's a DR-109. So some might know of the DR-107 which is a One Design. From what little info I can find the 109 is basically the 107 that the fuse has...

    3D MOJO 65 w/20cc Build

    Im not sure about the mojo 65 but all the other mojo's recommended CG range that is on the plans is based on someone that might be newer to flying.

    That's there is one of those removable counterbalances. Gonna have to break out the packing tape and thin CA. Oh and if you notice you can see the packing tape already holding the counterbalance on on the other side.

    If it says already a snug fit on the muffler then I would think just some high temp silicone and press it up on there and it would be enough to hold it.

    Sport JTEC RADIOWAVE 26% Pitts Model 12

    From what I have read most all cowls will do that if you don't use a glazing compound over it. Mostly just pin holes you will never be able to see with the naked eye but paint shows them well. But what do I know? I'm no painter just a silly sparky

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

    While I hate the cost and mess of nitro I don't think I will ever be without a piped 46-55ax engine. To me I guess on my 40 sized birds I'm just not going to get the flight time I like out of electric. Now for anything 60 size and up though it will get 20cc gas from now on.
