    Didn't make it to the shop because........

    Because I was flying all weekend :) Had an IMAC contest in Wrightsville, AR this weekend. Thought I was going to be able to get some pictures but, things were going along so well I forgot to take the camera out until late Saturday. Then after I did I think I only got about 10 pictures.

    Isn't that just beautiful! To bad I have umpiring the next 2 nights. Guess you have to pay for the toys somehow :-)

    You would be correct :)

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

    Surveyed the damage to the 330LX when I had to dead stick it in again :( Not to bad. Actually have the gear block epoxied and curing. Should be able to get it back together tomorrow night and get what little bit of sheeting I need back in place so everything is ready for a nice shiny new power...

    Matchboxes

    Yes, I have used the Intellimatch IM-22's on a few different planes with great results. Just make sure you follow the directions when setting the unit up. I would highly recommend using a separate power supply while doing the matching.

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    I got the Edge out today seeing as how the 330LX had the gear ripped out due to a dead stick from a broken hub bolt :( Figured I better get some time back in on the Edge before the contest this coming weekend :) The DLE 170 doesn't make near the power of the engine that was in the Extra but, it...

    Didn't make it to the shop because........

    After 3 nights of umpiring I took a nap when I got home from work and by the time I woke up it was time for bed. Guess I was tired :-)

    Awesome Video Thread

    Ok, now that I have watched 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 and the Aerobatic Practice from 2015 :) I thought this was really cool, probably because I like to fly IMAC and this really hit home :)

    Fuel tank idea

    The main key to the dual tank setup is making sure the lines off the T-fittings to the tanks are the same size and length. I run dual 32oz tanks on my Edge with a DLE 170 and it works great. I would go to a single 50oz tank but, that dle drinks gas for some reason and I would hate to run out of...

    The I'm NOT going out flying thread.

    Our winds would start out down the runway and by the time you were done practicing they were coming straight across the runway, not fun! Kind of reminded me of the contest in Kansas last October, crabbing in at a 45 under pretty good power just to make it to the runway :(

    The I'm NOT going out flying thread.

    We had those winds on Sunday here. Not quite 40 but definitely some 30mph gusts. I went up for one flight and that was enough excitement for a long time :)

    Hello from Mount Joy,Pa

    Welcome to GSN Dennis! As for the knee-knocking, it never quits, just gets less noticeable :) After you get a few more flights on the big plane you will wonder why you didn't do it sooner. The old saying "Bigger flies better" is true. I have a 42% Edge from Pilot and a 40% 330LX from 3D Hobby...

    Trophy showcase

    I just like to stay at the bottom of the heap so I jumped :) I ended up 3rd for the year in Basic last year and flew the Sportsman sequence a few times. Then one of my friends said "Hey the only thing you haven't done in the Intermediate sequence is the roller" So I started flying the...

    Trophy showcase

    @IMAC FANATIC, any chance you could get me a copy of the Intermediate Unknowns? I keep a copy of everything I can get my hands on and at the end of the day of practicing I will have one of my friends pull out a random unknown, take a little bit to look it over and then go fly it. This...
