    My little EDF

    I was at EJets this past weekend. Decided that I would like to know how fast it is. Pretty much straight and level, it is 99 mph. Pretty good for a.6# chunk of foam. I knew I could get it over 100. I didnt want to see how much over. So I put it in a wide turn, rolled it over a little and...

    3D A Red Aero RC 108 Corvus is born!

    Really close. Closer than I like on this one. But mine is much better suited. Yes, I drilled my firewall and mounted my engine. I have a solid 1/8" gap. Less than 1/8" on Pedro's... I fear with the center bolt spinner, when you tighten down on it, it flexes the backplate back towards the...

    Corvus #1 is done. Delivering to Pedro tomorrow, if he's cool with it. Final CG check with a 29x9 prop landed me slightly nose heavy to right on. Pix coming! 16631=11627-20140909_183240.jpg 16631=11626-20140909_183257.jpg 16631=11625-20140909_183454.jpg...

    long long downlines!! what about fuel clunks in the tank???

    Looks identical to a nitro heli with a header tank set up. Vent line from the header tank plumbs into the "feed" line on the main tank. You can use a simple 3rd line on the header tank to fuel the entire system. :)

    How to win a Fly-in Raffle?

    Buy many dollars worth of raffle tickets. I bought $10 worth of raffle tix this past weekend, plus dropped in a pilot ticket for each flight I made. Didnt win a damn thing.....

    3D A Red Aero RC 108 Corvus is born!

    Had to cut out one of the prexisting pipe mounts just so that 1 of the TD 110s wouldnt rub thru. Not a huge deal, tho. There are lower access vents in the fuse, which made installing the 70mm can mounts a breeze. I forgot.. I made a choke linkage. Generally, I use a pull rod for the linkage...

    First Heli Flight In 29 Years

    Ask those guys that you fly with (the nay sayers), if they have ever tried flying a 300 or 450 in 10 mph winds? Ask them how it handled it. The larger machines handle the wind much better. You are off on the right foot. Listen to your "expert" at your local field, he wouldn't steer you...

    First Heli Flight In 29 Years

    Welcome to the dark side!! 550 is a.good size for a beginner. I was flying 550s a long time back, well, early 2000s. Jumped from it to several 600 sized machines. Now I have just the lone 700. Airplanes is where its at for me. Heli is something I fly when I dont feel like getting the 35% out.

    Stab mount screws

    I doubt you would be able to get the proper torque on the thumb screw, vs a socket head screw. Nylon is a wonderful thing, but taking the hatch off my OMP 330SC, which has full plastic screws (6), it is stinking slow. A ball driver, a set of screws with bonded washers is a great...
