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

    You can add a bit more expo via your Transmitter (up to 20%) but when you set the Aura servo ports up you actually set the travel and expo there. You also select if the servo you are using is analog or digital. Reversing is done here too (All servo directions should be set in your radio to...

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

    Ok Snoop this where it can look complicated but it's not..... You are setting up the transmitter to operate with the Aura 8. Best to select a new "Model" in your radio to set up. In your radio set your wing and tail configuration to it's most 'Basic" set up it will allow (one aileron servo, one...

    Scale 50% Dalotel 165

    I have flown the 26%, 30% and 35% Pilot SBach's and enjoyed all of them. Great KE performance and tracking. Is that 40 center a Pilot as well?

    F-4D Phantom II (Freewing EDF jet)

    I never understood why some let others do the "Maiden"?. All that "Fun & Excitement" you deny yourself :laughing:. All in all the Avanti S is a sweet flying EDF and glides really well. Now it does zip along and can get real small rather quickly and orientation can be easily lost. But I NEVER...

    Yippee! What the postman brought

    I helped a friend build one of those. If you use a DA35 with a pitts muffler and use the recommended batteries and follow the instruction book it comes out perfectly balanced and flies awesome. Cut the cowl as it "shows" in the manual and cooling is a non issue. I would load the Cap232 Aura 8...

    An Oldie But A Goodie

    Sweet David! Had one of those myself. Awesome flyer with the DA50. Hangar 9 had some really good designs during that time. Hope you enjoy it thoroughly. Covering looked great in the pics. Just iron it all back down and break out your "elbow grease" and give it a wax job :).

    F-4D Phantom II (Freewing EDF jet)

    Yes they do. Learning jet flying with the Avanti S has been great fun. I have been eyeballing that F-4 as well. Put a lot of JP-5 in them and then watched them get slung off the deck of the FID.

    Finished helping my buddy set up his AR12310T Rx in his used but new to him 3DHS 105" Edge 540 w a DA120. I almost forgot just how powerful that DA is until he started it:eek: and had the throttle servo reversed . Glad he was lightening fast on the kill switch :yesss:. We going to go fly it...

    Awesome Video Thread

    The videos I watch over and over are the ones like the "Strega". I really enjoyed my 3D days but "Fast and Furious" really holds my attention now. Thanks for posting Doug. And that Sea Fury was pretty awesome too @WMcNabb :)

    3D is like that beautiful "Trophy Wife" we all dreamed about in our youth :pink_epic:. Now I like to see how I can "Ball up" a plane in all sorts of twisted spins and tumbles as to let out all that "pent up" frustration a trophy wife can cause :laughing:

    Hostetler Cessna 336 Skymaster

    This is just terrible news. Nothing I can say going to make the hurt, anger and frustration go away. Best thing to do is either start another soon or forget it completely. Sorry to hear this :(. Just keep in mind and I believe you said it yourself....these plans design of yesterday are just that...
