    Discussion The I’m going out flying thread 2018

    More than likely. Interesting thing... a number of years back I assembled a (I believe) Dave Patrick Extra 300. (I think I have a photo somewhere) Beautiful plane. That was the plane I put my first DLE 55 on. It flew like nothing you ever seen. Loved the inverted flat spins. Flatter than any...

    IMAC Aero Tech 35% Velox Custom Build

    Been feeling pretty weak today. Must have picked up a cold. But I vowed to get something done on the Velox every day. So, I removed the fuse bottom filler block from the foam shell and trimmed the excess balsa sheeting away. Lightly sanded it then set it aside. I'll try to get more...

    That's awesome. It is amazing how little weight it takes to either make or break a good handling plane. I kind of chuckle to myself some times when people ask me if I had to do anything special to get my plane to balance on the CG. "CG"? "What's that"? LOL. I just start tossing things in with...

    IMAC Aero Tech 35% Velox Custom Build

    Slowly being able to grab a file at a time from my previous laptop hard drive. It's been a chore but thankfully I have been able to retain some of my HP days learning. Darn thing about computers that some dont realize is you really can't hurt a computer. You just have to be more tenacious than...

    IMAC Aero Tech 35% Velox Custom Build

    A little bit accomplished with the Velox today. Got the forward face cap on the turtle deck glued on and sanded. Also the rear turtle deck cover shaped. I did a quick sand on the now attached turtle deck. It really looks pretty nice. I also got the F1 and F1A firewall plates laminated. The...

    Scale Pitts S1-T, S1-S, and a Challenger.

    Post Number 9059 I installed my J&J tailwheel on my Hangar 9 Extra 300X yesterday. I'll probably change the springs sooner or later. The ones that were on it were too short, and these were all I had laying around. One of the reasons I wanted to change the tailwheel is the tail seemed really...

    Very well said! The words honesty, respect and especially Integrity have little value in today's world. Thankfully my children picked up on it and use that in their lives constantly.

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

    I sure wish the younger generation would grasp on to something good and wholesome. I am anxious to get my grandsons out this next year as they are now old enough to really focus and get the full concept of this wonderful hobby. It is so sad to see how the mind set of our younger generation has...

    Question? What's good in cheap servos these days?

    Whoa dude... sorry. Man that would really bite. I am glad I went with the Graupner. I really had looked at the Jeti. Two of my friends here have the 16 and love them. Hey, I just thought of something. I will call my buddy John and ask him about the servo speed and how to access it. I will find...

    Almost...but got the Edge instead. I think either one is awesome. Love the wickedness of the Twisted Hobbies. And yes, they do fly like balsa.
