The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

[pawnshopmike]

Started a new plane tonight! It was windy all weekend... so no maiden on the Ryan. This is my first complete build using the magnetic building board. We shall see how accurate I can build this

That's a cool little plane. What power plant are you going with?

I found a NIB Evolution 15cc for a good price a couple months ago for this guy. I'm hoping it will perform well. I've got a good back log of kits to build in the .40-.60 range that I'm hoping these engines fit the bill.

Coming home from NC last night meeting our new nephew we heard a hissing sound coming from the car then the AC quit. Got home and found a hole in the condenser. Took it all apart and found the culprit. 1/4" Allen wrench got kicked up and went into it. I'm just glad it didn't go all the at through to the radiator.

Question... Debating on putting unregulated 2 Cell x2 lipos on a BoomaRC pin flag switch for a 35cc 3D plane with a TechAero. mAh???
I'm looking at the pulse batteries so my options are 1350 or 2250mAh. I wouldn't think there would be a large weight penalty, but as far as usable voltage for HV I'm leaning towards the 2250's I know that would be overkill on a dinky 35cc... Just brainstorming.

If your running just one battery then yes the 2250 but if your gonna run dual batts run the 1350's.

roger that on the 2x 1350's They just seem so small lol! Anyone running that setup on a 35cc? Curious about flight times/flights. One problem I have that you guys may not, I do a lot of flying in the wintertime, Lipos hate the cold weather (usually keep them in the truck with the heater on before I use them). Then again they are so cheap, may just have a extra set or two and swap them out! Kinda like that idea now that I think about it!

I got the Monocote Trim Solvent in the mail today! Man, one little drop of that stuff cleaned my whole mess up of the splattered paint! Very nice!

Running two(2) -1300 mAh lipos on an EF 78" extra with VVRC 40cc. Tech aero IBEC, so batts run everything. Can get four hard 10-11 minute flights and the packs usually end up about 7.5 volts.

I'm running a pair of 1600mah 2s life packs in my 3DHS 75" extra with VVRC 40 on it. Last time out when I smashed the plane I had four hard 8 minute flights on it still had 60% capacity in both packs.
