    10-4 If you have EPP I think that would be a better foam to use. The depron is nice and it probably flys way better with depron since its more rigid but it's not gonna handle dorks well at all.

    Got some video of the little foamie today. I need longer arms on the servos as I can only get about 30 degrees of travel on all surfaces but the plane fly's awesome. It will do rudder only KE loops. Sorry for the crap video. Trying out a new camera and I had the angle off as well as I had it in...

    Had more fun in a two hour stent at the flying field than I have had in a long time. Let my buddy take a spin with the ChubCub that I designed long ago and he was in love. After 5 packs went through it there was a slight dork that broke the motor mount free.

    All loaded it to go have fun today. This will be the first time in over a year that I have gone to fly at the club field with other members there. Generally have gone out during lunch breaks by myself. Just wasn’t willing to take chances with the pandemic and all and a little girl at home.

    This day was made better when I got home and the little girl saw the plane and asked to see it fly. Quick flight in the yard and made her day letting her carry it back to the house.

    Never ceases to amaze me at how much fun this plane is. Went flying on my lunch break today to use up the charged batts I didn't use on my camping trip because of wind. So four nice flights completed one of which was just stay low flying inverted figure eights. I took note that my DX9 is...

    Another flight in the books. Only two total so far but I like it so far. Did some inverted flight with it this flight and just amazing how stable this thing is. I will need to add in some more throw to the elevator though. Only has about 1/4" of down travel and I found quick as soon as I began...

    The Habu flew today. Sweet little jet and is just as it is described. A trainer in the shape of a jet. So stable and easy to fly yet will scoot right along when you throw the coals to it

    Well apparently letting it just ride in the camper was a bad idea. Oh well still gonna fly it. Can fix it when I get home.

    Gave the UMX Timber its own personal hangar for the day. Going on a camping trip and seems the perfect time to shoot some touch-n-goes off the beach on the Eastern Shore and it fits perfect in the door opening on our popup. Was going to put floats on it for the weekend but the weather shows a...

    Scale Wendell Hostetler 30% PA-28 Cherokee Build

    I've been using parchment paper for the last 6-7 years and I think it works better. Against epoxy or wood glue they are both basically the same but with CA parchment paper lets go easier. My advice when using CA is try to remove to part within an hour though or the CA will finally soak in and...

    Yeah we plan to move in with my inlaws until either the right house or right piece of property comes up. We have found a few we really liked already but we can't afford two mortgages and with the market being so hot I don't think any seller would agree to terms of us buying their place on the...
