    Looking at the pics it looks to be birch ply but I could be wrong

    Beth pictures and I added some orange trim tape to make it more visible in the air

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

    Where I flew today all the snow was gone but it’s my understanding that it’s pretty easy to find them in the snow around here at least where the temps are changing so often. And yes getting deep into them. This makes 3 in the hangar currently. Don’t get me wrong I still love 3D but it’s one hell...

    Correct. They suck for straight cuts but when you have very intricate cuts and don’t want to have to rotate the work piece at each direction change then the spiral ones are awesome.

    3DHS 75" EDGE 540 V2 Assembly Thread

    I have been running this esc in one of my 3D profile planes for a couple years now. When I fly that plane it gets pushed hard and the esc has been rock solid. I wouldn’t question using it. http://www.valuehobby.com/power-systems/speed-controller/airplane-heli-esc/hobbywing-skywalker-50a.html

    It’s the wrong time of the year for it but yard sales are a good source for tools. I found my delta variable speed scroll saw for $10. Also you can look on Craigslist and Facebook classifieds and find them cheap.

    Yippee! What the postman brought

    Yeah it’s a ton of fun. On a 2200mah 3S when I was running a 13x6 prop I was getting a 8 minute flight with about 25% left in the battery when I would land. That’s with pretty mild flying. Great thing with my taranis is I have a percentage based timer so if I fly harder it counts down faster it...

    Honestly I have been happy for hobby stuff on the scroll saw in just buying the big pack made by bosch at lowes. It has three different style blades and they work great for me.

    Ok now take it way way way up high, pull power back and get it to stall, when it stalls crank in hard rudder and a little opposite ailerons, start bringing power back in and watch it do a wicked flat spin. Leave yourself plenty of time to recover as its not an instant thing and will not recover...

    The extra wire from the ESC is for a reversing function. Plug it up to a switched spars channel. When sitting still flip the switch and then start giving it throttle and the plane will drive backwards. Here a video of mine doing it. I don’t use it anymore as I only have a six channel receiver...

    How big is your front yard. While the tundy flys great and gets in the air quick I feel it still needs a good bit of speed on landing

    That's perfect right there. Just sand it smooth and be done with it.

    Bring the sheeting in just enough to hide the mounting flanges and bolts and let that beautiful valve cover and rocker tubes hang out for all to see.

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

    I have ordered from National before and most was decent some was crap and yes they are pricey. Switched to ordering from tower hobbies for a while as it was dirt cheap and was getting really good quality but the last two times I ordered it seemed more like oak that arrived. Switched up to SIG...

    If I had the funds that would be a cool one to own.
