    For now I'm running mufflers, but I want to go to cans eventually. I have a Falcon 31-12 and 33-11W... also a Mejzlik 32-10. I really like the Falcon 31-12... hope it works on this motor.

    Lookie what showed up today. :sneaky: It may very well be that ZDZ is the only engine manufacturer still testing their motors before they go out... "known good" is a beautiful thing. Came with a template too... not sure if ZDZ did that, or Joe @ ZDZ USA did that?

    X bus HELP PLEASE

    Need more details on what you mean by 1/4" more throw. :) Did you attach a video? I don't see it. If you're talking about a bolt through the rudder... ain't no wrong place. :) Offset, like greed, is good. haha But, if it is pull/pull you might need one of these to get the non-pulling cable to...

    OFF TOPIC, FOOD PORN. haha Here's what's important, though... the wife made tacos last night! She takes fresh chicken and grinds it up with the meat grinder attachment on the KitchenAid. Then "saute's" it in EVO (not the engine, fellas! extra virgin olive oil!), with seasoned pepper. Fries up...

    Just a perfect day at the field yesterday... real treat to be down there... just me and crazy John. :) I was just in love with his 3DHS DA-60 Extra... it flew so great... at first I thought it was too small to see, then I just flew it in closer, that took care of that problem. :)

    I thought it was just Pilot RC with the bad hinging... here's my H9 Sukhoi after 35 flights... the hinges pull out clean, just like the Pilot RC planes. Same oversized slotting and same shiny hinge with no glue on it. I like that Pilot RC lets me glue in the firewall... I liked that AW let me...

    If you do, go ahead and use two stroke oil to lube up all your internal carb gaskets while you're waiting. :)

    I pulled the reed block and put it in a bucket of gas until the reeds weren't sticky anymore... about five minutes. Maybe you have sticky reeds too, who knows? Haha :banana-dance:

    Helped a buddy start an old DA 150 that had been sitting for a few years. Turns out the reeds were stuck, just soaked them in gas for a couple of minutes, and she fired right up. :)

    Waiting on motors, so I decided to show the H9 Sukhoi a little love and start putting gear back in it. In hindsight I should have never taken its gear out... it's a long story. haha

    Hi Terry! The thread title says 107“, but I'm confusing everyone by showing my 122". lol If you're talking about an 8 servo setup (plus throttle) on a 122" plane, I tried it and it's a total no go, for me. Ymmv, etc. :banana-dance:

    Gonna be 15 now! Almost as bad as the old 5945 days where I used 17 routinely! I had one plane with six on the elevators! haha

    Got a few more graphics up from www.p1hobbies.com ... they look a little odd, but then so do I. haha

    Well, I cannot figure it out. I've examined every part of it and it's the first motor that has ever stumped me. I bought it from Joe Nolasco at P1 hobbies.com and he said he could get me a new one or if I wanted he would take the new known good running engine off of his plane and send that to me...
