    No but, I do know that plane and have seen it fly MANY times. Jared lives about an hour from me. Awesome person and pilot :-)

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    I will be putting the dle 170 on it to start with. Have to use what I have at this point. The rc budget has been severely depleted this year :-( Definitely going to be a zdz under the hood at some point :-)

    SOLD! Thunder Power TP820HVC Charger - $125

    This is a basically new charger. I used it twice and realized it was way more charger than I needed or wanted to play with. I haven't even removed the plastic protector from the screen. Shipping should be around $10 via USPS Priority insured. Paypal is preferred. The charging cables have not...

    Thanks for the offer Rob. It looks like the LX deal is going to happen for the same price as the fuse alone so I can't pass that one up. I know it is a 2 owner plane and nothing bad has happened to it :) so it will make a nice backup/play plane.

    A new fuse with shipping is right at $850. I was looking at the one wing tonight and the wing tube is loose inside the wing so the idea of a fuse is out :( I may wait until the Black Friday sales show up and see what comes around if the LX doesn't work out :)

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    I am still toying with the thought of just getting a new fuselage. The wings are going to get a VERY THOROUGH inspection and if they are both still solid, I may get a fuselage and have fun again. The horizontals and elevators are still in perfect shape along with the landing gear :) We will see...

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    Yup!!! Second time for the exact same failure to happen. All I have to say is never again. It not only cost me a lot of headaches during the spring and early summer but, now it has cost me an airframe that I truly enjoyed flying. The plane was a blast to fly! Bought it in January of 2013 and...

    I thought about it until I started looking through the tail section. totally destroyed, so off to a new or new to me airframe :)

    New Classifieds

    Would it be that difficult to just add the price to the existing classified section? Don't care for the new layout. Way to much going on. Keep It Simple and they will come :)

    I finished taking the parts out of the Edge. Now to find another airframe.

    It is a good thing it didn't come apart in Shreveport Cam :) That could have been ugly.

    We had our fun fly yesterday and it was fun until the Edge expired :( The prop hub snapped off the crank of the GP-176EVO after 3 flights! No warning at all. I had kept it high for the first 2 flights because I hadn't flown the plane in about 6 months and had to re-trim it after the new radio...

    New DA 60 not start

    This may sound crazy but, have you checked the plug from the pickup to the CDI? Is there a chance it is plugged in backwards? Just a thought.

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

    I have them installed on my 330lx and it not only makes a cleaner install but, it is also much easier when putting the plane together and taking it apart, one connector and done!

    Thank you Tom! Just downloaded them. I like the Intermediate sequence, very interesting and some unique challenges :)

    JTEC/RADIOWAVE 2.8m & 3.1m MX2

    He probably has them shipped to the hospital and then says they are medical devices that he is testing for the hospital :)

    8th ANNUAL ROLLA BIG BIRD!

    I cut ours about the same length. Can you get me a part number from the rake and where you got it from? I have looked at a few but, they are mainly for leaves and wouldn't work to well on grass clippings.

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    I wonder if a person could use a thinner base gasket on the DLE 170 to bump the performance without running into clearance issues. I know it would change the port timing also and that may be a downfall there. The base gasket on the DLE is pretty thick.

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

    Thanks Cam and Rich! I was wondering about the weight. Maybe just a thin layer of cf fabric on the balsa supports to help reduce the flex? Just thinking out loud. Don't want to end up with a sky pig but, I would want to make sure there was no flex in the fuse :)
