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

    I flew it today and it fly's awesome. I will be painting the bottom black I think. even with the blaze orange I put on it when you're way up there it all blended in and was hard to tell what way was what. My opinion on the plane. Worth every bit of the $140 price tag. It is a bit heavy but it...

    Added some Orange to the bottom of the big glider to make it stand out a bit more. Actually tempted though to paint the entire bottom of it black so it stands out really well.

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

    Got it all assembled and a basic program setup in my radio. I will slowly add to the program to give it all the mixes I would like to have but for now this will work. comes in at 56 ounces which is a bit porky but that's without me adding anything to it other than my rx and the recommended...

    This one right here. Good ole Hobby King. Less than a week to get here from the US warehouse. first impressions are its pretty nice for the price. Only one small blemish on the foam that will get covered by a decal. Everything fits together nicely. includes FPV canopy for those that like to do...

    Postman brought me a really big foam glider. The little F22 is a buddies.

    Yippee! What the postman brought

    I would say some canned mixes is a nice thing, will make it easier for someone coming over from from one of the name brands. I'm the same way though except I started with Futaba. As soon as I got used to my X9D I sold all of my futaba stuff. I do now have a Spetrum DX9 but it is only for my...

    Actually I can disregard for the time being as its not supported on the two FrSky radios I currently own.

    I had not heard of them going away from OpenTX. I reckon I will have to look into the new software.

    Forestner bits have to be some of my favorite drill bits ever created.

    I have a 1S gum stick style battery stuffed in the nose. Can't remember the mah rating off hand but it works well. I have seen many using 2S in DLG's now and I dont see the need. the servos are plenty strong and for the tiny movements the surfaces make I dont see the need for the extra speed it...

    Yippee! What the postman brought

    Here is my pod setup. Servos are turned sideways and angled a little bit and personally I hate it. When I redo it I plan to design and print a tray to go in it and mount them side by side with lines going down opposite sides. Also I recommend doing a pinned setup for the wing servos. Makes...

    Yippee! What the postman brought

    I will try to get a picture for you when I get home from work this afternoon. I do not care for the way the layout is in mine but I bought it used so I get what I get. mine has older JR servos in it and I have thought about ripping it all out and upgrading to a set of KST X08's I have laying...

    Yippee! What the postman brought

    You will love it. I have flown both a Flitz 1 and Flitz 2 and obviously own a Flitz 1. I prefer the 1 over the 2 by just a little bit. I only say that as it has a little more wing area that the Flitz 2 so it signals lift a little better for someone like me that doesn't see the signs of it. Keep...

    I did it for the sheeting on my 20cc Giles profile. I will find the files and post some images of it.

    You guys stay tuned. This plane along with a couple of my other designs may actually be getting kitted. I will keep you all informed if and when it happens.

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

    my advice is to order nice blades. I have a couple sets of the cheap pinless blades from Lowe’s. I believe they are made my Bosch abs they work fine but are very sensitive to using too much pressure and will break easy. I got a nicer set a couple years ago and they hold a lot better.

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

    Check your email I just forwarded the files to you. Three different files. One is the templates for cutting parts that are full size. Second is the assembly drawing like you had pictured. It came through scaled down to fit on printer paper so I scaled it up to be as close as possible to the size...
