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

    I have just used rubber hose like heater hose or something along those lines. Works great and it is cheap :)

    IMAC Double Build, Carden Pro 124" Extra 300 40%

    ZDZ180 on JMB canisters. Turns a Falcon 30 x 13 3 blade at 6300 to 6400 with no problem at all. My 33o LX weighs in at 44.5 lbs and I can fly the Intermediate sequence between half and 3/4 throttle. I can do a double snap on an upline and not lose any air speed. It just keeps on pulling.

    That is very interesting Cam. I always thought the hottest part of the cylinder was on the back side. What you drew out makes perfect sense, thank you. Time to fly! I have burned over 5 gallons so far and it is only February :)

    No problem Cam, @orthobird Just wondering how the temps were so much lower than mine. I am hoping to have the Blue LX with the JTEC pipes up and running by next weekend. That will be very interesting because I will have the same prop, engine and everything else so i can actually do a pretty...

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    Got to wiggle some sticks Saturday. 5 more flights on the Red LX and 2 flights on the 61" 330LT. I rebalanced the LT with my Xicoy scale and ended up moving the battery back 1 1/2"!! What a difference in how the plane flies. Now inverted flight requires very little up elevator and the snaps are...

    IMAC Double Build, Carden Pro 124" Extra 300 40%

    I don't have any trouble with heat after a run. By the time I get back to the pits the engine is back at about 205 on both cylinders. In the air they are peaking at 280 to 295, which is about 15 to 25 degrees cooler than the engine that was on the Blue LX. I didn't baffle it directly around the...

    Hey Cam, Could you take a picture of the sensor locations on your 200 in the Carden please? those temps are like 80 to 100 degrees cooler than what my 180 is running. I know my temps are ok but, it seems like your engine is just barely warming up and you may be losing a lot of power because of...

    Another trick I use is some Hi-temp silicone on the threads. Not much, just a little bit and then use Nordlock lock washers. This has worked great on my ZDZ180 headers.

    News Thoughts on new 2017 shirts?

    Prefer to have a crew neck shirt over a V-neck. Also, don't care if the collar and sleeves are different colors.

    I would pay a little more as long as the material is a good quality material.

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    Got out Saturday afternoon and Sunday afternoon for some flying! Strange but welcome weather for February. Mid 70's both days. Flew the LX 6 times between the 2 days, the Mini-banshee 3 times, 61" Extra 330LT, twice and the wing once. Overall a great weekend for flying. Finally made it through...

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    Went out for a couple of quick flights last night and had my daughter shoot some pictures of the Red 330LX. She also grabbed a short clip of it on a slow pass. The JMB cans sound awesome along with being extremely quiet.

    @Profile Pilot, you must fly at the Ft. Smith field. I am about 80 miles north of you in Rogers.

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    Took out the LX tonight after replacing the Proflow canisters with JMB canisters. Wow is the only thing I can say! The sound is awesome and they are quiet. I couldn't believe how quiet they were. the performance is very good. I am swinging a Falcon 30x13 3blade prop and had no problem doing a...

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    I took my daughter's 61" Extra and the Mini-Banshee out for test runs tonight with the new Hacker motors and WOW is the only word that describes the difference! No more sag after running a little bit with the Extra and unlimited vertical with the Banshee. It was getting way to dark when I flew...
