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

    I will be using some fancy KST brand servos but a Hitec HS85mg will fit it perfectly or what many of the probros use in one this size is a Solar D658 which you can get from hobby partz.

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

    Yup as soon as my buddy does a kit run I will let you know. Basically he will open up a thread on the Probro site asking for preorders. I think he ask for have the funds up front to help with cost of materials. Normally leaves it open for a week or two then will cut a bunch at once. He just...

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

    That tube is not glued in to the fuse yet. Basically the wing is built as one piece and there is a channel running through the center section that that tube fits in. it will all key together. I think I'm gonna start a build thread here in a bit to explain it all as there are quite a few other...

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

    A little build therapy before work this morning. Really cool to assemble a CNC cut kit that you designed yourself and see everything fit like it should. Fuse has no glue on it yet that is just roughly laid out to see it all together.

    Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build

    I can’t imagine not having my welder at my house. Don’t use very often but when I do I’m glad I have it. Just a simple Millermatic 125 but it does the job.

    Yippee! What the postman brought

    Yes all inside corners have to have a radius on them. He just told me on anything 1/4" or thinner that it needs a .031" radius and thicker than 1/4" needs a .063" radius. That leads me to believe that his smaller bit for thin stuff is .062" or 1/16" bit and his larger bit is .126" or 1/8" bit.

    Waiting on electronics to show up. Built a pair of flite test simple slice. Designed to use a large pizza box and uses 1104 quad motors turning 3” props. Just something fun for my dlg buddy and I to do some combat with between chasing thermals.

    Yippee! What the postman brought

    It has gotten here yet but the postman will be bringing me this nice stuff. It’s a short kit for the small edge profile I designed and built a few years ago. I finally got it all into CAD and a buddy was kind enough to CNC cut a short kit for me. Once I know it all fits together properly then he...

    Hopefully they can read. Really get an idea for the size of the box when it’s in the back of my truck.

    Finished boxing up the 55cc profile. It ships out Saturday. There was lots of other stuff that went into the box as well. Please excuse the mess in my basement.

    Sport Modified Diamond Dust Build

    So there may be another slight change to my plans but this is still getting built. I have electronics already that would be perfect for a smaller wing than what I planned. So today at work I scaled these down even more. Got it down to a 27” span. With what I have on hand this should work well...

    While that is a basic start there is lots more to the programming side of things. You should see my DLG program in my Taranis. It is extremely complex yet at the same time very simple compared to other pro F3K Pilots.
