    GSN wont let me message you. but I was thinking $25 for both, shipping included. . . I'd like to double check shipping rates since I think we are 3,500 miles away from each other. Try and message your address or tele# to me.

    Scale Wendell Hostetler 30% Piper Cherokee Glass Fuselage Build.

    I have a couple of these I got used off of R C G but could never quite get one to work. I didn't try the other one, but I've ended up using the multi switch with the magnetic option instead. Let me know if you'd like them (or anyone else on here). I think they're like a $25ea but could send them...

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

    @BalsaDust I’m leaning towards the pocket radio! Same functionality as the zorro, only draw backs with the zorro is it’s slightly bigger with smaller batteries. The pocket radio has a tiny screen and no slider on the other side as well as some odd trim switches. I’ve seen a guy have his vario...

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

    I've been eyeing it for a while. A lot of places I travel are near coastal slopes, being able to pack a glider or two with a small radio would be easier than my wooden crate my wife says looks like a coffin. . . I like the pocket radio idea too and might have to give that another look. ELRS...

    Looks like a GP Escapade or CG Eagle2. Is it a tricycle gear?

    Been working on this little flying wing called the micro DammitE from AngelWing Designs. I’ve seen some people rattle can glider frames and cover with clear covering. I decided this little frame would be a good test subject. It’s a rustoleum fluorescent pink and yellow that when sprayed wet...

    Scale Sig 1/3 Scale Spacewalker

    I've recently started using SuperPhatic glue. I'm pretty happy with the results and it cures in about 15min. Still use CA for tacking, when I use a lot of CA, I end up setting up a small fan to blow the fumes away from me. https://www.horizonhobby.com/product/super-phatic/DLMAD21.html

    Scale 18% De Havilland DHC-2 Beaver by MR Aerodesign

    The MMW beaver is 1:6.3 so 91.4" so close to 16% - was going to put in on floats, but was debating to change to electric for reliability and noise. Thinking I'lll just complete it and put wheels on it. Yes, I love that webpage! 94C had 35K hours on it ten years ago. I wonder where it is now. so...

    Scale Wendell Hostetler 30% Piper Cherokee Glass Fuselage Build.

    About a year now. Been learning mostly on 3mm ply. Upgraded my CAD software (DSM Creator) to allow the dxf files to be manipulated and processed. Laser cutting kinda reminds me of the 3DPrinting when it started to become reachable to the hobby industry. Fun Stuff!

    Long story short, I have a V1 Grumman Goose kit from Europe that I’ve been holding onto, a distant family member purchased the V2 of this same kit just to have RCEurope forget two large poplar ply sheets and essentially ghost him…The drawings are intricate and different than the V1 so I reached...

    Scale 18% De Havilland DHC-2 Beaver by MR Aerodesign

    I'm super impressed with the level of detail and engineering that was put into the landing gear. Seeing that the tail has a shock strut and the MLG legs have the scale rubber dampeners is very cool.
