The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread
Finally got my Aeroplus Edge all buttoned up ready for the maiden maybe tomorrow weather dependant. Today I ran another tank through the VVRC 20cc it seemed start running alot better a good strong idle. I had to make a couple small tweaks to the high speed needle. I also did all the radio set up...- Travis Haney

The Q6plus is a digital battery charger super small and firmware upgradable. I'm really digging it. The biggest appeal for me is the size, 300w 14a charger smaller than my hand.- Travis Haney

The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread
Tonight I tried my hand at building a Vanessa cg rig. It seems to work although I haven't really done the balance yet. I realize i need to have the cowl on to check the cg. :oblong: I also picked up a new ISDT Q6plus and modded an old Xbox power supply to work with it.- Travis Haney

The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread
Well yesterday my switch showed up for the Edge 540. I went ahead and got it installed today. I went with the Booma RC hidden switch. I decided to go with dual batteries as I was going to use a single 2100mah but found two 1100mah that together saved a tiny amount of weight. I really like the...- Travis Haney

I had been flying a Spektrum DX8 but previous to that, when I was flying quadcopters, I was flying a Graupner MZ24. I never cared for the Graupner programming and the information out there on programming the radio was poor to say the least.- Travis Haney

Walbro Fuel inlet pipe
I have a question I have searched the forums and am not seeing what I'm looking for. I have a VVRC 20cc motor with a Walbro carb the fuel inlet pipe points 90 degrees back at the fire wall. There isn't enough space to route the fuel line around the motor box and get a kink free attachment to the...- Travis Haney

I received the 16sz a week or so ago, although I have not flown with it yet I have been reading and going through the programming on my Edge 540. I have to say I really like it, the programming is super intuitive and hasn't been a far departure from my experience with Spektrum and Graupner. I...- Travis Haney

20 cc Edge 540 ARF Assembly.
Guess what I'm missing is where do you activate the rod? Does it come out the fuselage on the side?- Travis Haney

20 cc Edge 540 ARF Assembly.
Understand the weight issues I've been keeping an eye on it. I'm curious how you set up your choke with out the servo. I can't figure a way to run a linkage to a spot I would be able to operate it.- Travis Haney

20 cc Edge 540 ARF Assembly.
I just reread your build thread I was looking for how you delt with the choke I think I will install a servo also. I can't see another way that I can make it convienent. This lead me to another question however. The venting you did in the tail section just curious how well that works for you. I...- Travis Haney

I emailed futaba asking for latency and resolution numbers for the 16sza. They replied with those numbers are super secret and if we told you we would have to kill you! Seems odd to me, unless the radio doesn't compete with others. I would think it would be a selling point!- Travis Haney

The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread
Got to work on my Aeroplus 20cc edge tonight. Was able to get the motor mounted up and set. Also got the wings together for the most part waiting on push rods to show up Friday. I didn't like the ones that came with the kit so order turnbuckles and new ball links. Hopefully when I get back in...- Travis Haney

I went ahead and preordered the 16sz from HobbyZone. I don't have any experience with them but they had a 10% off offer on the radio with free shipping and an ETA of 12/20. After this forum and tons of google-foo I believe it's the right radio for what I want!- Travis Haney

Not sure how that would work, one of the horizon demos it showed apps and being able to connect to Wi-Fi essentially an android based phone on your transmitter.- Travis Haney
