    Yippee! What the postman brought

    That's the way it was done before the fancy trays came out.

    Yippee! What the postman brought

    Looks pretty nice. Check out the one that came with my new Pilot Decathlon. This is the first stock tank I've ever wanted to use before. Aluminum cap, brass fittings, brass line in the tank, and a filtered clunk. The fuel dot is pretty neat too, it's uses a magnet to hold the center in, not an...

    Yippee! What the postman brought

    I'm going to send some pictures to the guy I've been dealing with at their US warehouse and see what he says. I agree it's the shipping company gorillas fault, XPO Logistics, but if they would have had a piece of cheap Masonite lining the box like they did on my Pilot Edge, the damage wouldn't...

    Yippee! What the postman brought

    @acerc The self adjusting tray gives you one feature you can't get in the hard link. If one servo locks up, quits, or goes hard over one direction, you still have some rudder control. Even if one goes hard over one way, opposite stick will center the rudder. Also, the purpose of the third...

    Yippee! What the postman brought

    I'll say one thing, this is the most beautifully covered ARF I've seen. It's a crying shame it was shipped by Gorillas. None of the damage is bad enough to send back, but I will need a new side window.

    Thanks for the offer, but my excuse for buying this plane was I had a DA50 that needed a home.:)

    It's going to be a DA50 with a canister. I like them quiet.;) I have a 13 year old DA50 that I'm going to send to DA and have them freshen up.

    Yippee! What the postman brought

    My new 107" Pilot Super Decathlon showed up today. The box is nearly destroyed, but the airplane seems to be mostly okay. There is a little damage, but not worth sending back. Especially since they only had one in this scheme. Here's what the scheme looks like.

    IMAC Pattern - Cadence w/ DA 35

    I love the smell of glow fuel in the morning, it smell like fun! Just as long as I'm not the one paying for it or cleaning up afterwards.

    Question? What's good in cheap servos these days?

    I emailed him and asked, I'll let you know what he says.

    Question? What's good in cheap servos these days?

    I'm considering some Promodeler servos for my next airplane and read today that there can be an issue with them when using a Spektrum Powersafe receiver. Evidently from what I understand there can be power spikes from the servos, I guess trying to feed voltage back into the receiver. On a...

    Bill Hempels Team Edge still operating ?

    Yeah, I've seen a lot of guys hunting for their magnet attached hatches at our field after they blow off. Some work really good, and some don't.

    I’m going out flying thread 2019

    I missed a 60 degree sunny with no wind day yesterday, so I went out today and got a few in with my Pilot Edge before the sun went away and the wind started blowing. I really need to do something with the carb on that thing. I bet it took 30 flips to get it to pop on the choke. Ran perfect...

    Scale 35% Krill Extra 330SC....CUSTOM-ARF!!!

    The body filler is better for building, and stronger, but as you said is not as smooth or easy to sand as the glaze.

    Yippee! What the postman brought

    I ordered some batteries and a parallel board for my little Inductrix from Buddy RC Sunday night and they showed up already today. Tonight I compared the flight time between the original 150mah 25c battery and the new 220mah 45c batteries. 4:00 minutes to 6:50 minutes, but it does fly a bit...
