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

    It's pretty simple. Key is having a small electronic switch to turn them on or off or even flash on off. For the wings I made some small wood mounts (thick ca) glued to the wing and used small socket head servo screws and small nylon washers (shims) to mount. For the stabs I just hot glued the...

    They are very bright indeed. Believe it or not there are 136 individual LED's. Lots of calm air at night. Going to be fun! Thanks Rob. The one flight I got this evening went really well. Looking forward to those full moon nights of October with some cool white light flights :too-cool:.

    By next weekend weather down here should be back on track and "seasonal" . I cant believe September was the hottest month this year for us on the Gulf Coast. Over 4 days of temps being 97 or better and humidity index in the triple digits. July and August only had 2 days combined and averaged 93...

    My "Wall 'O' Foam" needed more light :big-grin:. I decided to light up the bottom of the QQ300. When I ordered the air speed telemetry the dude was real nice and threw in an electronic switch. So after 3 years of day flying the QQ300 why not do some night flying? I had a bunch of old super...

    I have a 720p HD camera "like" a Mobius. Just wanting something that will zoom and take great pictures. I have not received the 1080p HD yet that is very small for "in flight use". Once I get it I will see how it does and maybe not even bother with another 4K. Just for you then. Pictures of...

    I just got the "Instruction" document that will fix my camera issues :concern:...…..A "return shipping label" from the vendor :D. Turns out the camera is defective :deadhorse:. So I'm holding on to my "Man Card":dancing-chicken:. Now only if I could get rid of my "Luck Sucks" card :ugh:. .

    Got the air speed indicator and TM1000 installed in the Avanti. Had to go a different route with using two remote receivers. Had to use an AR8000 and single remote with a y harness to feed the Aura 8 and TM1000.

    While waiting to finish my "gear up" for the Pilot extra 330 restoration I have been busy helping my buddy to get his NIB DL50 running in. He is putting it in the Phoenix Models P-47. This is a really nice inexpensive war bird. Will make you think twice about the T/F P-47! I'm really excited...

    Yippee! What the postman brought

    LoL.....Figured that bro! :yesss:. I scored a sweet deal on ebay. Both for less than 150 to door. The small one coming from China (37.00) and the 4K from USA (112.00). The 4K is a display unit from a photo shop and has no box or boom mike but is new and unused (so they say). These normally go...
