    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    Finally got the 330LX back in the air! The ZDZ180 is a BEAST of an engine. It swings a 29x12EVO 3 blade Mejzlik at 6000 on the ground and unloads to 6950 in the air on the first flight! Nothing crazy in the video, just trying the power out in some of my Intermediate sequences and had a smile so...

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

    I had just enough time to fire up the ZDZ180 on the 330 last night before the rain set in. WOW is the only word that comes to mind right now. I have the Mejzlik 29x12EVO 3 blade on the front and on the second run, first run telemetry was still set for 2 blade :), it turned the prop at 5850! No...

    Wonder what happened with ZDZ? I love watching Tavis float around with the old school style 3D. Smooth as butter.

    If I wasn't as involved with IMAC that I am, I would be more than happy to help out. As it is, there are events the same day as contests for me. There are actually 2 events that I have wanted to go to for a while now but, they are both on the same day and the same weekend as an IMAC contest that...

    Joe Nall 2016, Official Noise Policy?

    When I camped in 2014, I was on the main line and made sure that I was nowhere near an rv for the main reason of the generators running all the time. Just a little planning on my part worked out great for my daughter and I.

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

    Getting closer on the 330LX! Choke and throttle servos are mounted and fully functioning. I am liking the Jeti more and more. I needed to move the throttle servo cable to the other side of the fuselage due to servo location. With the Airtronics, keeping the wiring looking neat would have been a...

    Wanted 5" Mejzlik Spinner

    Cam, Might be a long shot but, try Don's Hobby Shop tomorrow. Give them a call rather than looking online. They have changed their online store again and there are items that they used to carry but, are not listed in the store, 1-800-972-6273, they open at 10.

    Finished the baffling on the 330LX again :) The ZDZ180 has the opposite offset of dle, gp and da so I had to completely redo the baffling. Hope to get the servo boxes built and in tomorrow.

    Sorry David, I was an Airtronics guy before I switched to Jeti this year. Wish I knew where to point you for help.

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

    Stacey, have to move the throttle and choke servos to different spots due to the rear carb, make an air/blow back dam in the area behind the carb and fuel proof it, finish recovering the repair areas and fire it up. I am going with 14" headers to start with and see how things go. Something tells...
