    3D Big Ailerons

    It makes for such a clean set up. It's not hard for them to do so I don't know why they don't.

    3D Big Ailerons

    Ok so I'm over my cold and back from the Lodi huckfest. Ready to go full speed this week and finish it up. I installed the throttle and choke servos. Decided on the choke servo after referring to Terry Wiles and Joe from ZDZ USA. Engine is on and baffles made. Pilot makes the cowl on the Extra...

    3D Big Ailerons

    I use a lite coat of automotive primer and then automotive white paint, all with a small touch up gun. Some guys use Rustoleum which works just fine but I don't think lasts as long.

    3D Big Ailerons

    I have been dragged down by a cold so I’m moving along slow on top of that I decided to do a little custom covering. I don’t know why I get myself into this custom stuff. Probably could have finished the plane by now if I didn’t. I installed 3/32” dowels next to the engine bolt holes to prevent...

    3D Big Ailerons

    Been fighting a cold so all I got done last night was putting in dowels to keep the firewall from crushing when tightening down the bolts and painting the engine box.

    Help w/40 % !

    This size plane will be easier for you to fly which means you will begin to do more 3D. Those servo's may work fine now but in my opinion will be a risk to use as you fly harder. Have you run the engine yet? You might need to do some cleaning on it and I would change the fuel line and possibly...

    3D Big Ailerons

    Just received the 180 from Joe at ZDZ USA. What a beautiful looking engine. Joe has been extremely helpful with all my questions an I will post more on that when I get to the engine run and install. I made a templet and cut the firewall for the carburetor. I won’t be using cans or pipes on this...

    3D Big Ailerons

    Ok maybe not the biggest thing and for the record I have done enough builds to not consider the assembly of an ARF as a build but this is a new custom design so I felt it warranted one. Pilot RC custom thin wing GIANT aileron old school 3D plane. High energy need not apply. LOL Just kidding...

    AMA Renewal Discount, Rates Going UP in 2016

    I don't like how AMA is dealing with the drone thing at all but I think AMA will remain the standard for years to come whether we like it or not. At least I am sure it will be with my club so I just bit the bullet and did the lifetime membership and never have to worry about it again. I hope.
