    Too old to "HUCK"?

    Just putting the quandary out there. I was at the field a week and a half ago just doing my thing...as usual. For the most part, the guys out there are pretty awesome. They usually come up to my son @Shayne Epley and I and actually thank us for giving them a really cool show. (Not that we're...

    180" Pilot Decathlon

    Next project: 180" Pilot Decathlon. Doing this one for a friend. Like I don't have enough going on already right? This one will have either a 3W 210CS, or a Valach four stroke twin. Either way, it will be awesome. My two winter projects lined up. Stay tuned for up coming build threads.

    Pilot 37% 107" Edge 4 Banger

    I promised a build thread on the airframe for the DLA 128 four cylinder. I looked at so many airframes and honestly, I got so frustrated that I finally took a nudge from a couple of you guys out there. I wanted something with some "WILD" capabilities. I so love a 260. But unfortunately, I really...

    Terminology

    Hey everyone, I apologize in advance if we have a thread going on this subject. I didn't see one so I was thinking it would be cool if we could all share some insights to the correct Terminology and how we do our 3D antics. Everyone knows a "knife edge" and how to do it. The same holds true for...

    DLA Engines

    I'm always looking to do something different. That being said, DLA Engines have not really been noted as one of the best brands out there. Or so I had been told. Apparently however, DLA has stepped up their quality and workmanship on their complete line of motors. Many now coming with a 3 year...

    New Airframe Ideas

    Ok everyone..... Besides the other projects I have going I am feeling the need to get my hands totally involved with another project. Kind of a distraction of sorts while the other projects come together. So, I am looking for ideas on a couple of new airframes. I picked up a nearly new 3W 170...

    30% Pilot Edge Repair

    It happens to the best of us. The fact is, the odds are stacked against us. We may slide for a couple of days, weeks, months or even years. But eventually it catches up to us. Such is the case of my little 30% Pilot Edge this past Sunday. I decided to take the Sukhoi and my Pilot Edge to the...

    What is a safe temperature?

    I loaded up this evening for this weekends festivities and then realized, crap I hope it's not too cold in the trailer for my Li-Ion's. Although our day time temps are averaging 60 to 70 degrees, our over night temps are still dropping to the mid to upper 30's and into the mid 40's. What is...

    Butt kickin' set up

    Recently I was in the market for a completely BAD ASS setup for my H-9 3.1 meter Sukhoi. I had looked at 3W, DA and even purchased a DA170 for this ride. I had considered a DLE 170 and the 222. But I wanted something "REALLY" full on bad to the bone. After contacting Dave Sullivan many months...

    This is soooo not good!

    After yesterdays successful maiden of the Sukhoi, I got to thinking about that monster motor and the way it ripped the prop so badly. I talked with Dave, @Planebender this afternoon and it was suggested that perhaps that prop is not the best choice right now. Maybe better for slower 3D but not...

    3D BH Design 50% Edge 540

    After finishing up the PAU 300, I was intending on taking a little break and relax a bit. But after taking the little brothers to the field the other day I realized how cool it would have been to have Big Brother in the picture with them. Then a proposition came abounding my way and decided...

    MTW 75 Canister Mount

    Hey everyone... I need a little advice or suggestion please. Apparently the canister mounts I "thought" I had lined up for the PAU 300 are larger than what I remembered. I am in need of a canister mount for the MTW 75 canisters. The cans measure about 2-3/4" in diameter. The can tunnel in the...
