    Scale 50cc Scratch Build From My Own Design Revisited

    I haven't checked in on this thread in a long time for some reason, man I've missed a lot! Great looking plane!

    Hangar 9 60cc Corsair Build

    Thanks! I've run Savox here and there in a couple other planes. Using them for a throttle servo on my DA120 and as an elevator servo in my race planes and they have performed well. This is the first plane with a full Savox install, except for the throttle and retract Servos. I was looking...

    Hangar 9 60cc Corsair Build

    Got the motor on the plane today, only temporarily to figure out where to set the motorbox. Sure looked good on there though! It's a REALLY tight fit with the cowl.. I may have to cut some holes to clear the rocker covers.. I'm not sure yet. It's so close there was some excess epoxy on the...

    Hangar 9 60cc Corsair Build

    Well, as much as I wanted to hear the engine run this weekend it didn't happen. Saturday I was out of town all day for my daughters lacrosse. So yesterday I spent the day building a new motorbox. I had a problem with the first one, it came out warped. Long story short I ended up ordering...

    Hangar 9 60cc Corsair Build

    I did a search online and found Sears carries blue 2 gallon cans. I think you want at least a two gallon can, you have to mix at least one gallon of gas at a time and if there's anything left in the 1 gallon can you won't have enough room. I was thinking the same thing though, better mark the...

    Getting there, the prop reamer and Keleo baffle kit showed up today! Going to get another one of those caps for my regular gas can too.

    Hangar 9 60cc Corsair Build

    Got the gas can together for the Corsair since it's a different mix for the Saito. Stumbled across this Evolution brand gas cap, this thing is a deal! Comes with the fittings a felt clunk and a meter of what looks like viton fuel tubing all for $20.99. I had the hand pump sitting around and...

    Hangar 9 60cc Corsair Build

    Got the test stand finished today, put together a fuel tank for the stand. Had to lower my tank shelf. Got the throttle servo setup and mounted the ignition. I could have run it today if I had fuel for it. I guess I need to drill the prop? Not sure what size it needs to be yet, or how to...

    Hangar 9 60cc Corsair Build

    Only had a couple hours today, worked on putting a shelf for the fuel tank in the test stand. Also drilled the holes to mount the motor and the big hole for the carb. I don't have any real woodworking tools so I had to make due with what I had on hand so it took a while. I ordered the Rcexel...

    Hangar 9 60cc Corsair Build

    Yep, I have the Keleo exhaust ring for it, I think I've watched every video of it I could find (well the 84 not too many out there of the 90) and it sounds awesome with the exhaust ring. I'm thinking I'm going to break it in with the stock pipes though, I need to mount the engine without the...

    Hangar 9 60cc Corsair Build

    Nice!! What oil are you planning on running in your 60R3? That should be a nice combo, will it fit in the cowl without cutting it? I started working on a break in stand this week, picked up a 24x12 Falcon prop, some fuel line and a tank for the stand. Hoping to hear it this weekend! I'll get...

    Hangar 9 60cc Corsair Build

    Another question for Tom, what size prop are you running? The manual says for break-in to use a 24x12 which is kinda hard to find, the LHS has a 24x10. Did you ever try the Belia 22x10x3 Corsair prop and if so how did you like it? Looks like you're flying a 2 blade. Engine won't be here...

    Hangar 9 60cc Corsair Build

    I ordered the Saito FG-90R3 today, I'm hoping it's shipping out of the CA warehouse so I'll have it by this weekend. I'm hoping the LHS has a suitable prop for break-in, I'll check tomorrow. I'll be running Red Line oil from the first start, 15:1 on the break in and then decide about moving to...

    Hangar 9 60cc Corsair Build

    After a brief intermission, got some work done on the Corsair today. And you guys thought I was joking when I said this would be the longest build thread.. Installed the tail light and installed the wingtip lenses. The instructions have you glue them on but since they are clear I thought that...

    250 FPV Racer

    There's quite a few full build tutorial videos over on Flite Test, all the way from basic soldering, to full in-depth racing quad build videos and then videos how to program the flight controller. On your first one it may take you a couple evenings, figuring out which pins you need to solder on...

    250 FPV Racer

    Already thinking about the next build, it will probably be a smaller 180 size frame, no full size PDB. Multirotormania is local for me, I've been to their shop several times, good guys! Their frames are really nice so the next one will probably come from there. Also I ended up installing a...

    250 FPV Racer

    I have completed the ZMR 250 and have about 20 flights on it now. I'm 100% in soldering skills so no problem there. I ended up shelving my 12Amp esc's and bought a set of 20Amp DYS with BLheli. It flys great and I'm really impressed with the performance. I'm running Betaflight firmware...
