    Spinner Thoughts

    Yep instead of using loctite the nylon washer compresses slightly. It works GREAT! If you use loctite on the little allen heads they strip, with the nylon washers they don't strip.

    Spinner Thoughts

    I also have a Falcon spinner and really like it. First non-center bolt spinner I've had. I don't like the center bolt spinners because I've had the backplate crack from tightening them down too much. Then I don't tighten them down enough and the cone spins and makes a mark on the prop.. The...

    Tail Wheel Steering, Springs vs Fuel Tubing or other setups

    I have used these springs in the past with success... The compress instead of expand... Bout half way down the page.. The fuel line method is my "go-to" method though.. http://donshobbyshop.com/product.aspx?cat=1&subCat=5

    Extreme Flight 104 Extra 300

    I run 92 octane in mine because I live in CA and somebody told me it doesn't contain ethanol like 89 and 87 do. That could be totally false but that's why I run 92. My DA120 seems to love it so I'll keep running it even if it does have ethanol. Oh and ________ 40:1 :omg:

    Tail Wheel Steering, Springs vs Fuel Tubing or other setups

    It's cheap, you probably already have everything you need for it in your shop, it's infinitely adjustable, and it works! What's not to love?!

    Tail Wheel Steering, Springs vs Fuel Tubing or other setups

    I usually use the fuel tubing also... I am using the stock setup on my current plane though and it works pretty good too. (Tiller arm setup)

    SOLD! JR DS8711HV

    I had this on the rudder on my 104" Extra. Sent it into Horizon for a checkup and they replaced the gears and it passed all the other tests.. Good as new! I have not used it since it came back a couple weeks ago. Comes with original box, unused servo mount screws and arms. I'm also...

    The Happiness is thread

    Same here, I mostly just fly giant scale 3d stuff. To say it's a poor man's Corsair isn't exactly right though.. I made the mistake of adding everything up also.. So then I just pretended I did the math wrong and bought it anyway lol! I figure I'll just buy what I can when I can for it and...

    RC Airplane Memes

    We were at a soccer tournament two weeks ago and ran into this kid and his brother. His brother isn't a twin but you would think they were. They ran around ALL DAY chasing each other and a soccer ball and they weren't even playing in the tournament. One of the guys I was with went up to ask...

    Thanks! I dream about the Comp-ARF with folding wings and a Moki.. So I got the poor mans version instead. It's been pretty much out of stock for two years and now they are finally in stock. I've wanted it since they were announced. Still debating on the Evolution 7 cylinder radial or maybe...

    Rant......Pre assembled fuel tanks.

    Let us know if you ever get an answer... I'd be interested to know what he says... I'm surprised people still buy them but almost daily you read someone's new build with a Fortitude tank...

    The Happiness is thread

    Ha! It's not a P-47, and when I got the tailwheel I was pretty shocked how big it was for this size plane.... There's enough info in the pic to figure out what it is... Any more guesses? Oh and yes I should have said, happiness is when the big box truck shows up and the boxes aren't smashed!

    Robart Electric Retracts

    I tried to order my Sierra gear about 3 weeks ago and still no sign of them... I really wanted the Robart electrics, they powder coated them white and they look really awesome! Plus the plane was built with them in mind... Drop right in convenience.. But then more and more stories of failure...

    It is a pretty happy moment when the truck with giant boxes shows up... And even more happy when you have a box of parts to put in it...
