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

    Draco looks awesome but I wish they had stuck with a smaller version like 1.5M or so as $600 is a hard pill to swallow for a foamy. Profile looks nice but its basically a copy of the Mojo65 with some modifications done to it.

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

    I got lucky in a way when it comes to the 3D modeling in that I transferred into the engineering department at work so I get access to a really nice software for free along with the help of our designers in using it and learning it. I still want to take a formal class on it but its not a class I...

    Don't kill the project. Looks neat. Modify it so it will work. on another note if you want to learn a 3D software it helps so much with seeing how things are going to fit together.

    Took the UMX timber for a float fly during my lunch break yesterday. Good times where had but I found that as good as this plane flys in the wind, when it has floats on it, it sucks in the wind.

    LOL. I have never used a Prusa. At work we have a Lulzbot TAZ 6 that I use a lot. At some point I'm going to get myself an Ender 3 or better for home use.

    Yippee! What the postman brought

    As was brought up by @pawnshopmike in another thread I have been working on a Mustang recently just one that rolls not fly's. More Goodies showed up for it today. Well I call them goodies but the timing cover gasket set is going to be a PITA to do.

    Scale 1/3 Scale Extra 330L Build.

    If I still have the car I promise it will be an 11-12 second car if not faster by the time she is able to drive and if she continues to show interest throughout the years leading up to it she will already be experienced and know to respect it as I will be teaching her along the way. Would...

    Scale 1/3 Scale Extra 330L Build.

    Things have been going well. Focused on school work for the most part. The car is a happy distraction as my daughter likes to come help in the garage so it counts as family time. Car is a 1995 and sadly I have spent way more in it than its actually worth but it is what it is. I think I have put...

    Scale 1/3 Scale Extra 330L Build.

    @pawnshopmike nailed it. I've been playing with a Mustang and not the flying kind. But yes I just put a piece of the color I want on a small piece of scrap balsa and have them color match it. I can't remember off the top of my head but I think I just had them do it in a semi gloss latex. Then...

    No I have not flown a falcon yet but I have a couple buddys that have and they say it flys great.

    It does. I have flown five or six other DLG's. They have all flown great but the Flitz Classic is just so smooth and easy to fly.

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

    Yes 1M are really tight mind you a 1.5 doesnt give you much more room. Thats a decent weight for a 1M but they get lighter. The 1M Hawk I had was just shy of 120 grams.

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

    The reason I never got a bipe. I flew a couple of friends larger bipes and they do fly great but 30 minutes of setup and breakdown time is just too much when many days I'm only going out to the field for a couple of hours to begin with.
