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

    Got a "Chunk 'O' Foam" project to assemble for my buddy. He donated "Just a...another brick in my wall" :pink_epic: for my efforts :). This one (Flight Line 63" P-38) going to take some time.

    Scale 1/4 Scale 148" Shrike Commander

    Lets just say I tested half of the 50 lol. The RCGF-26. It ran VERY strong. Ran VERY well. Yes it was hard to start for the first time of the day (Needed a starter) but starts after that came easy by hand. The smaller crank cases makes getting the carb primed a bit difficult on these class of...

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

    Was able to get the "Avanti Cam" squared away so it will video record with the picture right side up :). Had enough slack in ribbon to flip the lens around. Cut a small notch in the fuse bottom and a little hot glue got it where it needed to be :big-grin:. Did not even have to touch the...

    Scale 1/4 Scale 148" Shrike Commander

    EME 35 about 21 pounds static thrust with 20x10. But I totally forgot about the RCGF 50T! Angled plugs and only 8.77" inches across plug caps. I personally been wanting one. A bit pricy @420.00 though. But it will produce almost 30 pounds of static thrust with a 20x10 ! I had the single cylinder...

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

    I can't take much credit because my buddy did most the work. But it has some light bulbs burning out in my brain as to how to do a neat and clean install with some cool factor. I may just have to do something about it :).

    Scale 1/4 Scale 148" Shrike Commander

    With a 20x10 or 21x8 prop a well tuned 40 twin should get you 24 pounds of thrust. X2= 48 pounds total. If you hit your goal weight of 45 pounds those twin 40's should be quite sassy!

    Actually that outing was only flight 5 and 6 on it. Both flights gave me a total of 4 videos (2 vids each). I think I had inadvertently activated the motion sensor and that is why it made two vids each flight. I am going to have to re-orient (invert) the camera lens so videos record / play...

    Yep :). We got our Giant Scale / Warbird fly-in next weekend in Mobile. Was hoping to get a Maiden in this weekend (weather was gorgeously perfect) but still had to much to do getting everything right as rain o_O. Hope to have its wheels up by Thursday before event. Was going to try and get my...

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

    Spent the afternoon helping my buddy get his P-47 ready for Maiden. Did a bit of programming the radio and final tweek's on the air system and adjustments. Looking really good for an inexpensive ARF. Retracts have no problem pulling up the heavier scale aluminum wheels. Lots of RC goodies get...

    Getting things figured out just does not come as easy as it used to.....And I don't know why...…:ooh?:. Forgot to mention the air speed telemetry works great. Hit 118 mph in a dive and 98mph straight and level. Did several touch and goes and lowest landing speed was 20mph. Can cruise easily...

    Got out this afternoon and put a couple of flights on the Avanti S. The onboard camera seems to do really well with picture quality. Just need to further my education on it on how to make a continuous video and not segments. Hard to understand Chinglish manual. Video audio is out of sync and...
