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

    That other canister is for the DL50 that is going back in the Pilot Extra 330 78". The DL50 runs awesome with it and a filter on the carb. I just got finished with the DJ72. Punching the holes in the canister did the trick! It sounds even better now (Got that tuned pipe "ting" to it). Did find...

    Krill 39% Ultimate 300KS Assembly And Paint

    That's good to know. But I was looking at 3DHS, EF and AJ air frames with the carbon in the 90+" or 60/70cc class and the offerings on them was about 900 big ones to my door. My old Pilot edge was 675 to the door.

    I like your "Crimp Tool"......In my country it's customary to give the person the item they like. With that said...….I like your plane :big-grin:.

    And carbon is expensive. All the new ARF's with the fuses laminated in carbon are about 250-300 $ more than their counterparts.

    Scale 50% Dalotel 165

    Can't seem to find if you ever got the maiden flight in after you fixed the LG issue ? And that prop you had. Was it decent for pulling the plane? Look forward to your Sbach.

    I will make a short video. The sound capture on the Hero 5 session is as good as the imaging! I really don't expect it to be much louder than it was. We'll see. Hope to run it tomorrow.

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

    Got around to modifying the 50cc canister in hopes it will let the DJ72 run better. I simply drilled two 11/16" holes in two of three baffle plates internally and shortened the "stinger" outlet. I blew through it and blew through another one just like it and found the resistance to be much...

    IMAC Aero Tech 35% Velox Custom Build

    I have the flexible metal rulers too. I like them. "Bates" or "Fiskars" work well for me. I like the SS construction with the cork underlayer that protects soft balsa.

    :yesss: I am David. In years past I have also seen a B-17 with a P-38 escort. All these WWII birds are absolutely AWESOME to see and hear in action. Oh! I also saw a cold war era Mig 15 fly over this past summer.

    Weather was really nice today but just could not make it out to the strip. Was again consoled by the T-6 and a P-51:yesss: flying in formation and doing touch and goes at the local airport. End of the runway is only about a mile away from my property.

    Been busy restoring a 40" wood lathe for a dear friend. Had been rusting away in an open barn for over 25 years not to mention it is one from the "old" Sears and Roebuck catalog. I about :steamer: myself when I opened up the old 3/4 HP motor to have a barn spider the size of the palm of my hand...

    Yea...….After about 50 flips, and defeated, it was time to go home and soak my shoulder in a hot shower and sulk. I did fly my jet though:). I know what's wrong. Needles are rich from "running new" during the summer and the canister is way to small for this engine but it is the only size you can...

    Got it to the field but no "joy" on wheels up for the engine would not start :mad:. I'm fed up with this airframe and it's inability to accommodate 70/80cc class canisters. Going to pull the canister and "gut" all the internal baffling and see if that will let the 72 "breathe". Of course my...
