The Rolling Harrier
Thanks Dennis - appreciate you sharing your approach. I was kind of headed down the same path - currently using rudder only for a few rotations. I will start trying elevator only next and hopefully finally blend them together sometime this year. Also repeating four point and medium slow...- Suds

Bill Hempel 30-35cc Extra Build Thread
Thanks @Bartman . I stole those buiding ideas (hinge mask and taped deflection) from @Tseres's build thread. Great tricks that certainly helped out. Hopefully if the rain holds off, I'll get to thank Tseres at this weekend's gathering at the AMA. Now with the maiden in the books, time to add...- Suds

Bill Hempel 30-35cc Extra Build Thread
Maiden in the books last night. Flew very well but I had it setup a little too neutral for the maiden - did not drop at all inverted. Will finish sorting out the CG this weekend. Seems to need a touch more right thrust (easy to add with a couple of washers) as it required some low-mid right...- Suds

As these are 3/16" size hinges, I ended up staying with 3 but did use genuine Robarts.- Suds

Bill Hempel 30-35cc Extra Build Thread
Should I add another hinge or two to the rudder? I was thinking of adding another two (double up the top and bottom hinges) or will I be fine with three hinges on the rudder?- Suds

Bill Hempel 30-35cc Extra Build Thread
Ailerons and elevators hinged (5-18-2016). I used the trick learned from Tseres and used a hole punch to create some glue masks for the hinge points. Hinge holes were taped over, hinges lightly sanded, hinge point oilded and finally installed with gorilla glue. I taped the surfaces in a fully...- Suds

Bill Hempel 30-35cc Extra Build Thread
This evening (5-17-2016) I was able to cutout the servo and control horn holes with a soldering iron and install the control horns. The horns were all dry fit (the elevator horns needed shortened by one tab) then sanded and finally installed with epoxy. This was the first time I used epoxy...- Suds

Unboxing. Kit construction looks very close that of the 35cc PAU birds I've seen. Would venture a guess they are produced in the same facility but appear to be different designs.- Suds

Just introduced to the market spring 2016. This will be my first build thread so bear with me and ask questions and I'll do my best to keep up. The 'reserved' pages are to allow the entire build to be together with the q&a posts following. I ended up with a limited run yellow/blue/white scheme...- Suds

My first Giant Scale Airframe EF 94" MXS-EXP
Depending upon your timing, you might want to wait for Extreme Flight to release their upcoming XPWR motor line. Sounds like the 60cc motor might work well with the MXS. I know the Yak is lighter than the MXS but it appeared to have plenty of power. https://vimeo.com/163348019- Suds

Two clunks on the same feeding line...
Thought that was the likely outcome...thanks for testing! Still curious on how this would perform? http://www.ebay.com/itm/221871291297?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT- Suds
