    Pilot RC 107" Extra 330SC

    Got it up today just before dark. It was really easy to see, and of course the hinges are bomb proof. :)

    RTF, man that was a serious amount of work. I also picked up some PSP throttle and choke arms. They look nice and have double setscrew mounting.

    McBride wanted to do a little flying this afternoon so I took out my 48" Extra since I picked up some batteries for it. This little planes fly great! I finished covering and hinging my wings. Got about 40 hours in it, lot of work. Still need some setup, but they're close to RTF. The hinges are...

    I read about hinging with Titebond online, I was going to try it but I got ol' @Tavis to try it for me (I'm smart like that, like Tom Sawyer. haha). He tried it and ended up yank'n all the hinges out before the glue set and throwing them in the dumpster. He used Gorilla Glue fastset and loved...

    Looking good and getting close, Taz! I was temp gun'n my similar baffle job and the cylinder with the larger gap behind it was 20 degrees F hotter than the cylinder with the smaller gap behind it. So I filled in the larger gap to match the smaller gap and the temp came down on that side 20...

    My eyes are really getting bad and I just can't see a blue plane anymore... and I really can't see an all dark blue bottom'd plane. So for now the bottom of the wings are all white. I might add some red invasion stripes or something later. I'm also finding that I see red much easier than I see...

    BTW, my eyes really suck... I never had to worry about dark covering schemes 10 years ago... and I didn't wear glasses then either. :/

    I checked the first start yesterday for ya', on the ZDZ 180. Four flips and then let go of the choke switch on the radio and she was running. Two flips for the rest of the starts throughout the day. :)

    Yeah, what exactly is all that stuff? Didn't change a thing in the way it ran or idled. Still flames out in a poptop.
