    Scale Bud Nosen 1/4 Scale Cub?

    Thanks, I always liked it. With the sale of our house I sold my bandsaw as all I had was a really cheap delta one that had 3 wheels on it. PITA to get it to track straight and couldn't tension it hard enough to cut harder wood. Balsa and and 1/8 ply where about it and if I was cutting say a...

    Scale Bud Nosen 1/4 Scale Cub?

    Yeah generally the plane being towed does the release but its best to have a release on both planes in case something fails.

    Some rainy day flying. Didn't know it was gonna rain when I loaded up this morning but had the packs charged so went for it anyways. I can confirm it will fit in the back of a 95 Mustang.

    Working on my 48" EF Edge. Was happy to see that my new batteries are an ounce lighter than the old ones. So I have four charged packs and will be headed for a lunch break fly session.

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

    Yeah its weird and from the manual it doesn't seem like you can actually match it to the movement of the throttle stick. The manual references that its default to 1.2ms-1.8ms but if seeing a lot of dead band it can be adjusted to 1.1ms-1.9ms

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

    It flys amazing. I need to work out some ESC issues but other wise I like it. Used the power setup from a crashed eflite plane that was a similar size. I’m not getting full range of throttle so the prop wouldn’t start spinning until about half throttle. Was able to run my throttle trim all the...

    Scale Wendell Hostetler 30% PA-28 Cherokee Build

    OpenTX is bada$$. Their Flight timer options is something I wish all radio manufacturers would adopt. On gas or nitro planes I still just us a basic timer but all of my electric planes I use the throttle % timer. For others that haven't seen it the speed at which the timer counts down is based...

    Tested out the skis on the Crack Beaver. They work but need some tweaks. Hopefully have a new set complete before my lunch break today.
