    Mixing question

    The engine is already sitting further ahead than the DLE-170 was. The gap is almost 1/4" between the cowl and spinner. I may try to move my batteries a little further ahead and see if that helps.

    Mixing question

    The speed of rudder input does not matter. The tucking is consistent.

    I am going to add a little bit of weight and tip it a touch nose heavy to see how it does. Thanks Earle for the input. It is REALLY appreciated :) Good luck this season!

    If you decide to make your own using the mpx connectors, check these out at Esprit, http://www.espritmodel.com/multiplex-connector-solder-couplers-servo-2.aspx They make soldering multiple wires to the mpx connectors a breeze. If you are restricted on space, then these may not be an option.

    Mixing question

    The plane will stay on the 45 until I pull it away. I have let it fly at that attitude for a long time to see if things would change after a bit but, it just stays there :) This plane has coupling issues bad. A friend has the same plane in a different scheme and the same thing with his. Almost...

    Mixing question

    Here we go. I have a 3DHS 330LX that is balance neutral on the center of the wing tube. Any time rudder is applied more than a few degrees, it starts tucking to the gear. The more rudder you add the harder it tucks to the gear. In knife edge flight from both directions, same thing. I have tried...

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

    The experiment of epoxying old bolt holes in cf gear was a success! Also got the cf spinner from Bill Hempel a day early so installed it also. As long as mother nature agrees, may be testing the new prop today after work :-) The stand from @Terryscustom has definitely been getting used!

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

    Trying an experiment. Had a nice cf landing gear from an old 40% plane that met its demise due to an engine failure long ago and figured I would fill the mounting holes with 30 min epoxy so I could redrill the gear for the 330LX. We will see how things turn out tomorrow after work becuase I am...

    One other thing, if you are looking for a cf spinner with an aluminum back plate, go to http://billhempel.com and look under accessories. I stumbled across it by accident and now have a 5" spinner cut for a 3 blade prop on its way for $79 after shipping!

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

    I got the 3 blade prop in from Adi in Israel today! Everything is perfect on the prop. @TazmanianDevil KNOWS how to pack a prop! So, I was turning a 29 x 12N at 6300 on the ground. I bolted the 29 x 12EVO on and it is turning 5450 after everything is warmed up! I am confident the 176EVO has...

    @Terryscustom I am wondering about the durability especially on something like a prop. I know you are just getting started but, any experiences on something like that? They do look awesome.

    IMAC Double Build, Carden Pro 124" Extra 300 40%

    Hey Cam, Thanks for sharing those pictures! It is giving me ideas on strengthening the LX to eliminate any flex from the fuselage :) Where do you get your cf rod from? Local hobby shop or online?

    GP 88 Evo thread

    I am using a 176EVO in my 330LX and it is unbelievably smooth. My DLE-170 is fairly smooth in my 42% Edge but, nowhere as smooth as the 176EVO and the power is PHENOMINAL!!!!!! I am assuming the 88 will be of the same caliber seeing as how it is half of the 176 :)

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

    I pulled the 330 into the shop and added the temp sensors for the Jeti telemetry. I had an EagleTree system in the plane before the radio switch. It will be nice to have the temps on the screen of the tx. I have the temps being read to me every 30 seconds until I am more comfortable that the...
