    Scale PJ 295 build.

    This is an old style kit and did not have a top canopy hatch which I really wanted. Had to cut and shape extra formers to be able to make the canopy deck removeable. Had to make a few new formers.

    Well now that the snow has started to fly it's time for me to start building. The plane I'm building is a PJ 295, an early 1960's biplane. It is also a very old kit that was given to me by Wayne Haldenby. a friend It was produced by Trillium Balsa, a company that used to be in Tillsonburg...

    Scale RCM 1/3 Scale Champ Build

    I agree with your logic. If you had issues with the RSSI I would add a third RX as well. I guess the type of planes I fly I do not have problems with metal and I also fly in a relatively quite environment with no local cell towers. And yes, with the cost of the FrSky stuff it makes it easy to...

    Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build

    Yes, I could not work without my dremel. I wore out my 90 degree attachment for it and will get another, I really miss it.

    Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build

    I so wish that I had tools like you guys! And knew how to use them. Nothing here that I have other than a very good scroll saw and drill press.

    Scale RCM 1/3 Scale Champ Build

    Do you find it necessary to use three RX's? I have only ever used two and found I had a good connection.

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

    Sad to say we all might be using hobby king covering soon. I have always enjoyed my monokote and will be very sad to have to use something else. Now I'm looking for at least 9 rolls to cover my next build and it is very hard to get hold of it here. You did a great job on those canisters Tony. I...

    Scale Wendell Hostetler 30% PA-28 Cherokee Build

    PFU? I somewhat agree with you but.... I could not live without servo reversing, expo and many other things in these "computer radios". Both my crashes were because I did dumb things! First one because I was giving a demonstration to a group of developmentally challenged people, I was doing a...

    Scale Wendell Hostetler 30% PA-28 Cherokee Build

    I know how you feel. I recently crashed both my 70cc Vertigos, by what I call dumb thumbs on the radio programing. Both planes are repairable.
