    Holy smokes. You are going deep into the dlg’s! Can you find thermals in the snow?

    IMAC Scroll Saw Blade Recommendations

    Looked at that one the other day as well (in person). Looks to be well built. How are the adapters to use the pinless blades? Easy to change the blades?

    IMAC Scroll Saw Blade Recommendations

    In one of the reviews I read, that was the best bang for the buck. Can neither confirm nor deny. But here is the link to the review...

    IMAC Scroll Saw Blade Recommendations

    Have a scroll saw coming for Christmas to help with my builds. Need some recommendations on pinless blades/types for: 1. thin balsa 1/8” or lesss 2. Balsa 1/4” - 1/2” 3. 1/8” light ply 4. 1/8” ply Have straight cuts and curved and inside and out. Ribs, fuse framing, balsa for shaped cowls, etc...

    Ah crap. I hope that won’t be the case with my order!

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

    I just ordered a bunch today from National balsa. I understand why kits cost so much now. Yikes! Almost would have been cheaper to buy the Cadence kit with everything laser cut versus the plans and me buying the wood and cutting myself. But, I wouldn’t be able to the planned mods, so, as you all...

    Rave What's up with you Yanks!!

    Will have a 2m pattern plane build coming soon... Cadence with a DA 35. Bought the plans for it. Really well though out. Some changes to the fuse construction is planned which is slowing the start. Love to build!

    Any of the telemetry units will give you that data in real time. Otherwise, I believe, you are referring to the flight log.

    Question? Hitec servo compare- mini vs micro

    Thank you for the info!

    Question? Hitec servo compare- mini vs micro

    Thanks, and kind of what I expected...wishful thinking otherwise ;). What about full size but low-profile? Assume these have appropriate gear train assemblies? And as a follow up, does Hitec have plans for a future HV low profile servo that is not a retract? I assume this specific servo type...

    First larger plane

    I agree with @AKNick that size plane is too big for 6s - I have the Extreme Flight 60" Extra and use 6s - 3300 batts with their recommended power setup Torque 4016 motor. A friend has the AJ aircraft 60" Laser (same motor). It is a bit bigger and would benefit from larger packs. I have flown...

    Yippee! What the postman brought

    Oh yeah! 50cc will be the ticket!! To do over again, I would put a 50cc on my 78" EF Extra as well.

    Thanks Snoopy, I'll check those out.

    Question? Hitec servo compare- mini vs micro

    Interesting. I will go look for dimensions for depth from mounting flange to bottom. Thanks! Edit: is the TBM a gas plane? If so, how are they holding up to the vibration?

    Question? Hitec servo compare- mini vs micro

    2m pattern ship. Edit: More info - Looking at the insight v4 to do a proof of concept on a new construction technique - using 1/2" carbon fiber with aramid honeycomb panels to make up the fuse box structure. No crossmembers necessary and believe the panels are equivalent to balsa (have yet to...
