    Scale Don Smith P-51 Mustang

    The top of the table is (2) 7/16" OSB. One on top of the other. Then on top of those is good ole normal ceiling tiles. My son and I have used them for...well, forever really. I thought about the magnet type setup and even the glass system. But I am just set in my ways I guess. You find something...

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

    Taking a step back to clear out some cobwebs in the noodle has a bigger effect than some may realize. Dang, trying to get caught up but you boys have been busy. Pages upon pages of really good info and builds and deliveries and mods and stickers and servos and...just wow. Know what I did in the...

    How long does it take to glue stab and elevator tips on? About 2 minutes and 43 seconds. Could be why I just got that outta the way. Lol. More later...

    Scale Don Smith P-51 Mustang

    A little more work on the Mustang stab and elevators after work today. Which actually leaves very little yet to do. I accomplished getting the stabs and elevators sheeted on the bottom. Slotted the elevators for the control horns. Which was very easy since all I had to do was slice the sheeting...

    Ailevators and elevons are typically used for "V" tails such as a Bonanza or for jets, right? For multiple aileron and rudder servos, I set each corresponding servo individually for optimal operation in their own channel. Then connect both to receiver and use the fine tuning in the radio for...

    Scale Don Smith P-51 Mustang

    I got as far as I am going to tonight fellas. I finished up the servo door rails and border. Then finished the servo doors and servo mounting blocks. Got the bottom right side of the stab sheeted. The rest will just have to wait. I have a CA Headache. LOL. I really didn't know any other...

    Yippee! What the postman brought

    Good Lord... That is some Behemoth power. I wonder though... Are the mounting lugs going to be able to take the torque? Can't wait to hear of the results. Wow.

    Wow... it's all greek to me. LOL. I guess if I had a Futaba, it would make sense. But really, two aileron servos each and two rudder servos on separate channels is really quite easy. Wouldn't Futaba use basically the same format as all other radios?

    Scale Don Smith P-51 Mustang

    Heavy wet snow, warm heavy rain, mixed with more snow and more rain has left every job site we have a complete mud bog. A duck wouldn't even venture in to waters this deep. So I did what every warm blooded American rc builder would do. Stayed indoors and built a little. I really want to get the...

    GP 76 twin gas engine

    Oh heck no!!! That is a definite for next year. At least that is my thoughts right now. I can't say whether I will procure a new airframe or swap out one of my redheads from an existing airframe.... Uh..no...that won't happen. Swap out a Dub for a GP? I don't think so. No the GP 76 twin will go...

    I think that is really great. I applaud you for making the jump to a larger plane. I know for a fact you will have a really great time. I would however, humbly offer just a bit of insight. First however...the avatar change you asked about. This will tell you everything...

    For Sale 3W 140i B2 engine NEW with mufflers

    Ah! So you mean to say you're trying g to keep the engine warmer?!? That makes more sense to me now. I've never known a 3w to heat excessively. Not unless the air flow over the cylinders was poor. Now I understand. Thank you for getting me straight.
