    Curious. Ethanol or not

    Actually because I had 110 gallons of E0 fuel to get rid of, I used it in my company truck that I drive. I found no difference in MPG or performance.

    Curious. Ethanol or not

    If you have E0 go with that. If you have E10, go with that. A lot of myths out there with E10 and for anything 20 years old or newer E10 (probably even older than that) is fine. E15 you can start running into some issues. I have 2 strokes that are 15 years old and the diaphragm carbs are...

    Evan Turner

    both Evan and his dad are good people. I met them last year at the cinci IMAC contest. We had a great time getting to know them and flying against Evan. That kid can definitely fly really well.

    XFC 2016 Is Approaching! Jun 9-12

    Maybe, I spend big bucks last year trying to get a DA 170. That didn't work. Some guy that won like 3 engines got it. Holy mega jealous.

    XFC 2016 Is Approaching! Jun 9-12

    My wife and I will be attending. Since the longer drive it is hard to justify the drive and run the generator in the motorhome 3 days for the dogs. So we got a hotel (holy cow they are pricey and could not get a deal on priceline) and will drive our Fusion instead.

    Aeroworks Extra 300-100cc-QB

    The ailerons are very flimsy. So during higher flight speeds they tend to flutter and it wears at the tip servo. I knew several people that had this plane and they all had servo issues. Everyone of those guys sold their planes. I talked to Rocco about it and he told me of a mod to help with it...

    Aeroworks Extra 300-100cc-QB

    I seen this thread yesterday and decided to not chime in because I really don't have much good to say about these planes. I owned 2 of them and happy I don't anymore. For one thing they are not light. Both of mine came in just a hair under 30 lbs. Full exhaust but it was as light as I could get...

    DA170 Pipe Recommendations

    After using RE3 and Planebender smooth pipes I will never go with RE3s again. The smooth pipes are just that. Great top end power with a much smoother transition.

    150-200cc Extra 300SP

    I make my own. I believe the longest i have seen made up is 48". That does not work with most of my setups. So i buy bulk wire from Chief and build my own harness's.

    Hangar 9 3.1M Sukhoi

    very popular hobby. My boss is heavily into that hobby also. He does the competition fast shooting. Unbelievable the speed needed along with accuracy. I dont own any guns but i do enjoy shooting very much.

    Name this ARESTI figure

    Cam, it appears to be a roll and 1/2 with 6 stopping points. If you notice you enter upright and exit inverted. With a 4 point roll you exit upright but the the additional 2 points of the roll you are inverted. I cannot say i have seen this before though. The other roll element is similar but...

    40% switch / battery combinations

    In the past I have used JR and Spektrum Powersafe receivers. Just a single small switch on the side. I have tried both pin and JR loop connector switchs and hated them. I don't like to have to fetch the plug in my pocket when it is time to turn off the plane. I rather just flip a switch. Now I...

    Anyone Running 32:1 Redline in a DA?

    Yes they highly recommend redline oil. They also say stihl HP Ultra and there is another. Amsoil has been out for a while.

    Anyone Running 32:1 Redline in a DA?

    Those temps are for water coold engines. Air cooled engines should be 250-300F. I run temp sensors and telemetry to monitor temps. Could you post a link to those temps because I did not find it.

    Anyone Running 32:1 Redline in a DA?

    I have broken in a few engines on 32:1 and I have some other engines I also ran on that mix. No issues.

    Pre-Oiling new engine.

    I have a few cans of bombardier storage lube around at all times for my jetskis. If my plane engines are sitting around I usually spray inside the cylinders and into the transfer ports. Don't know if it does any good or not but it makes me feel good doing it.

    IMAC The new Dalton 300 SP / 330

    Wow that is really cool Cam. Never heard of this till now. I have to be honest, I never heard of any cooling issues with the original L version but if you can improve on it, that is great.
