    Share your ideas for safe pre-flight and flying

    I've been thinking about safety lately and while I consider myself a pretty safe pilot and follow a routine when starting my planes, I'm always aware how one little moment of distraction can lead to blood and stitches...or worse. I start all my planes on the ground with a tail hook, and I've...

    Anybody know anything about making drag chutes??

    A guy in our club flies a banner regularly. The front pole that the banner attaches to needs to be weighted at the bottom so Take the pole by itself and balance it so that the center of gravity is about 25% of total length from the heavy end. This will be the bottom of the pole. Then you...

    Scale 50cc Scratch Build From My Own Design Revisited

    That plane is AWESOMELY BEAUTIFUL @Jetpainter ....I am in awe. I think the concept of building a scale plane that never existed, but could have, is the pinnacle of model aircraft...and you've taught me so much in this build that will be used in my future builds as well. Thanks for sharing...

    Krill Extra 330 LX building thread

    If you are referring to the carbon fiber looking plate that is the firewall that the engine bolts to... @Jlc can verify,or correct me, if you are referring to something else.

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

    The key benefit with Hysol is that it retains a flexibility when fully set....which is claimed (and I believe) makes it able to absorb vibrations and shock over time without failing better Ghana regular epoxy tha sets up very hard.

    IMAC Delro 2.5M Raven Build

    It is a great Easter holiday when you can spend it in the shop! Working on the serve mounts for the wings. The standard setup from Delro is a standard servo box that leaves the top of the servo sticking out of the wing....I hate that look so, as my tag line says...I've never met a build project...

    IMAC Delro 2.5M Raven Build

    It only took about 30 minutes with kitchen tongs, broom sticks, long pliers...and a bit of shaking to get all my clamps off and free the canopy! :big-grin: Here's a few photos. First are the pins in the front of the canopy (there is a ply doubler inside both the canopy and the fuselage to...

    IMAC Delro 2.5M Raven Build

    This is just too stupid not to share for everyone else's amusement! Even though I had fixed the original canopy and it was usable, I decided I could do better and also eliminate the hinged canopy idea in favor of a pin and latch setup. Delro had already sent me a replacement canopy and frame so...
