    My Dream Trailer

    LOL I learned a few years ago that for some reason I see the green better than any other color in the air. I do like it thow :D

    Joe Nall 2016, Official Noise Policy?

    I don't remember exactly when at the end of last years Nall but I talked to Wess after the FG post and all of it was a suggestion. They will however be strictly enforcing the prop rippers without question I think is what he said. Not quoting him exactly.

    My Dream Trailer

    Thank you guys. Sometimes I feel a little embarrassed by the overkill. Kind of like I always laugh at old guys in a Lambo with a hair piece and a gallon of perfume on I can smell three blocks away :laughing:

    3D When is a plane used up?

    I actually considered doing it on this plane. One day I will experiment with it. I know all the reasons Tony puts it there but it does look funny so low. I have been playing with how to do it in my head for a while. When I try it I'll consult with you on it. :)

    3D When is a plane used up?

    I just got these Receiver mounts from Taildragger RC. They cut down on all the vibration not to mention they look really cool.

    3D When is a plane used up?

    I started the covering but realized I forgot I wanted to switch this plane over to a push/pull as with all my other planes. So I thought I'd do a @Terryscustom informative custom modification thingy. Of course not as good as Terry's:dancing-chicken: Reason for this: 1. The tail needs weight...

    My Dream Trailer

    :lol2: My tolerance is getting better but as I get older I get kind of nasty also:LOL_gif:. I have been flying for 40 years and never can I remember the FAA ever caring about our hobby until multirotors came along.

    My Dream Trailer

    Yeah I have heard of that happening. A neighbor of mine is a carpet flooring guy and he gave me some really heavy duty commercial glue he used to install these tiles in a car dealership showroom. It needed to be applies to both the floor and the tiles and dry for a while before installing. I...

    My Dream Trailer

    Special ordered 8x18 V nose with 8 foot ceiling. I've had four people wanting to see pictures of the trailer in the last two weeks so I thought I'd just do a post on it. This trailer really began life 4 years ago the day after I bought my first trailer. I kept thinking of everything I'd do...

    3D When is a plane used up?

    With all the rain this week I got a lot done. It's amazing when I cannot fly how productive I feel :brian-banana: All the wood is ready to be covered. I did a few small sheeting repairs on the wings from finger crabs and most importantly I did some extra strengthening on the ailerons. I added a...

    Pilot RC 122" Extra 330SC

    The gear on Pilot 40% planes flex so bad they all have broke on me. I have them on smaller planes with no problem and install them on similar to Terry.

    Pilot RC 122" Extra 330SC

    Cuffs should last about 20 flights so at least they will look good for a while :LOL_gif::dancing-chicken: I've tried them twice with no real success.

    3D When is a plane used up?

    Yeah, couple of GP engine dead sticks and lifting up onto the trailer rack really wore things down.

    3D When is a plane used up?

    We actually have some building weather here in San Diego. It’s raining so I got some work done:banana-dance: I have completed most all the wood repairs to the fuselage. Several stringers were broke from hanger rash and the sheeting around the front of the fuse was all cracked. Instead of...

    Pilot RC 122" Extra 330SC

    I have done this many times and the way I do it is to have a torch going and every few cuts I put the blade in the flame far a second just to heat it a bit.
