    Joe Nall Week 2016, May 7-14

    I would contact Scott at Triple Tree and ask him what to do. Nall has a huge international participation so there must be a way around this.

    Stabilizer Design Discussion.

    @Terryscustom is right. The configuration would be to much. The best thing for a really powerful stab would be to just make the stab itself barely big enough to hold the servo and 90% of the stab would be the elevator. But not sure its needed. All of my plane already have a huge elevator that...

    3D When is a plane used up?

    The fuse is ready for some wood repairs. found a couple small surprises that can be easily repaired. Tomorrow I will strip the wings and stabs. I have the covering ready to go. Drumm roll please :dancing-chicken: Yellow black and white. Even have a couple ideas for a scheme. After I strip the...

    3D When is a plane used up?

    I should have said using the heat gun makes it easier. When I really get into the removal I will be using it. It does cut down on the work. I am still trying to come up with a scheme that will look good and is not to difficult to cover. I may even deviate from my green. Yes I said it, a...

    3D When is a plane used up?

    I started pulling some covering off before I had it fully disassemble just to get look at some old repairs. Taking the covering off is a slow job. You cannot just rip it off or it will take some wood with it and then there are the spots where it is melted into the wood. Be prepared for surprises...

    3D When is a plane used up?

    The last two covering jobs I did I really did not use the heat gun much. I have gone mostly away from it. I keep the iron hot and just barely touch the surface as I move it.

    3D When is a plane used up?

    Get some balsa sticks and make a small square. Cover it and you will learn most all you need to know. If you screw something up just cut another. Yes the first one you might need to cut a couple extra pieces but its a small plane so not to much covering. Heck I still have to re-cut pieces all...

    Yes @Phil.Griffin terry is right, that's the perfect small plane to learn on.

    3D When is a plane used up?

    I have this Pilot Extra 330 that is about 3 years old with probably well over 400 flights on it. In fact it's really made up of about three airplanes. A wing here and a stab there etc. It needs programming mixes about every 10 flights LOL. And of course it's my favorite plane to fly because I...

    3D Restoring The Yak

    I have built a 37.5 and a 40% for a couple people in that scheme. I have a lot of building pics but not a lot of fully assembled pics for some reason.

    Pilot RC 122" Extra 330SC

    Ok sounds pretty good. I'll pass it along to the guys down here. I have never flown at that field and would like to try it. We will leave the smoke planes at home and no smoking only makes the event more appealing :)
