    Scale 20cc Edge 540 Profile “The Glitter”

    Instead of using barb fittings use compression ferrules. Soft tubing will slide right over with out splitting and any tension on the ferrule will not cut into the tubing like barbs can.

    Awesome Video Thread

    That Junkers 188 came close to being a Junk 188. Looked tail heavy. But boy does it look and sound like a real mohawk o_O. Bet you could not drive a finishing nail up the pilots :oops: with a 10 pound sledge hammer on that Maiden :eek:. I would have to have some kind of flight controller on that...

    Yippee! What the postman brought

    Have had and flown both. For me the 120 is the "Choice" . Your "up lines" will thank you. The DA120 is much more than just a 3D motor.

    OUCH! Hate it when that happens. I too have created problems when trying to solve them o_O.

    Scale 20cc Edge 540 Profile “The Glitter”

    I'm surprised no one has mentioned a good "mini servo". I'm seeing HV, HT, HS, MG versions that should get the job done on a 20cc slab. Biggest advantage is saving over an ounce of weight per servo over standard size digitals weighing as much as 2.7oz

    Anyone here really? What? A timing light just for us.

    I'm for good days even if I'm having a bad one. I'm sure Milton feels the same.

    Scale Don Smith P-51 Mustang

    I can't speak for Rob but I bet he is feeling "Gut Punched" over how "political" the hobby has become. I personally have had my "enthusiasm" Curbed o_O. Hmn…."Curb your enthusiasm" …. a "political satire" comedy show? :do_not_know:

    Scale 20cc Edge 540 Profile “The Glitter”

    I have a small 10oz tank and re-plumed it with the new Sullivan Pro-Flex fuel line. Seems to be working great but it's not in a 3D plane.

    Scale 50% Dalotel 165

    Very glad the H50B's are working for you. The "jet guys" I sometimes fly with really like that flight control . I'm all in too for the new build. You thinking of a "Hot Rod" again? Really loved the one you already did:yesss:.

    Anyone here really? What? A timing light just for us.

    Yea Postal Service :devil-dance: :laughing:. Just a note....the ignitions like the Rcexl start to advance around 2000 rpm and are fully advanced around 4000 rpm. Also I have read that at first "Power up" the timing defaults to about 2 degree's BTDC for safe starting (less chance of kick back).

    Anyone here really? What? A timing light just for us.

    Ok got it. The newer timing kit I posted earlier is the same thing. I don't think the LED's would give off the correct wave length of light like a Xeon light or plasma arc will. Once you have "mapped" the crank shaft and made your marks could you just use some reflective tape and an inductive...

    Anyone here really? What? A timing light just for us.

    Did you get an ignition tester or a timing kit? Tester..... Timing kit (old style)….. And I am wondering if you really just need to know if the magnet(s) on your Dub have a N or S polarity facing upwards? Some 3W ignitions use N side polarity facing up and some with two magnets both N...

    Anyone here really? What? A timing light just for us.

    Here is the most recent version of the RcExel kit. Does single and twin ignitions. About 10 bucks on ebay. The module now is enclosed in its own case having green and red LED's for N S polarity.
