    I’m going out flying thread 2019

    Paintball shoot fun fly was a big hit today at the field. My daughter also was a big hit. Was a bit breezy but we had plenty of foamies to shoot down as well as I threw my old beat up profile up for some fun. First they knocked an aileron off which makes t interesting trying to stay in HA flight...

    Unless something major happens I'm going flying tomorrow. Our club is doing a paintball shoot again so that should make for some fun times.

    Scale 20cc Edge 540 Profile “The Glitter”

    I know I had the next rib out drawn with the hole in it already in case people wanted to carry it out one more bay. I guess one thing for all to remember is to not drill those holes until they have the phenolic in hand that they will use. I drew them to match the phenolic I have in my shop but...

    New Product Strick Pro Grip Radio Trays and Harnesses

    Yeah I never got the idea of a tray style radio. Though I also thought I would never be able to fly without using a neck strap but getting into DLG's forced me to learn how.

    Scale 20cc Edge 540 Profile “The Glitter”

    Ok I gotcha. I would have to open my cad file to look and see but I would assume it’s either 3/8” wide or 1/4” wide and still 5/8” thick.

    Scale 20cc Edge 540 Profile “The Glitter”

    I’m assuming your talking about the pieces above and below the tube that glue to the tube. Part 10 when I look at the plans is the top nose piece. Those pieces are dependent on the thickness you want your fuse to be. I designed it to be a 5/8” thick fuse but many of my Probro buddies think it...

    Scale 20cc Edge 540 Profile “The Glitter”

    It is very possible. I based A off of another profile in this size I once had that had that extra piece running the length of the fuse and it had no tail twist at all which is something a lot of profiles this size and up start to suffer from.

    Scale 20cc Edge 540 Profile “The Glitter”

    I’m not on my computer right now. This is the screen shot of the one in the first post that I would use if I’m building. I feel it will be more rigid with a slight wieght penelty but I don’t think it will be much.

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

    Made a second marking gauge over the past few days. I determined with the first one that the rod used was too big and I also didn’t like having to screw it in place as it took away from the looks. On this one I did a counter bore in the handle and it’s a nice press fit so it all just holds...

    I think you should join in on the 20cc edge profile build then.

    Scale 20cc Edge 540 Profile “The Glitter”

    not sure on the mufflers but I know the kits that he sells normally say out of stock even when he has them and you have to call for the exact shipping cost. As far as the muffler he said that he didn't notice a difference in power on the OS just sounds better. I know on the DLE20 though it does...

    Scale 20cc Edge 540 Profile “The Glitter”

    My buddy just got back with me. He has done it for all three of his OS GT22’s so far using that dle20 profile muffler from WWRC. use the gasket from the OS to port match the port on the muffler and mount holes need slight elongation.

    Scale 20cc Edge 540 Profile “The Glitter”

    Not sure if he will ship to canada or not but the couple of probros that I know running the GT22 are using this muffler for profiles. It’s nog a direct fit but easily made to fit. I will ask my buddy and report back but if I remember correctly he had to elongate the mounting holes slightly and...

    Scale 20cc Edge 540 Profile “The Glitter”

    Yup they want to ignore that custom paper size option. And even if that wasn’t an option they still could use the snapshot option to print it in two half’s and just need it to be taped together in the middle.

    They probably use the rolls but have no clue how to add custom paper sizes.

    yup I print mine for free at work. The staples closest to me can only 36" wide and as long as you want. There is one an hour from me that has a plotter that can print 48" wide.

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

    Put some finish on the marking gauge and mounted the brass to the wood. It looks nice but I’m not totally happy with it so I will be making a second and addressing the things I’m not happy with.
