    IMAC Carden Pro 124 Build, My Dream Plane

    Primo, I used Rut-Oleum Stone textured paint in gray on the Dalton and I have been very happy with both the results and the longevity of it. In order to reduce the amount needed to get a solid cote use a gray primer first and then lay a lite cote of the textured paint down as it is quite a bit...

    Perfect. Looks like they have a similar set for the Bosch trim router I am using. Thank you for the information.

    IMAC Carden Pro 124 Build, My Dream Plane

    Thanks Primo. I have two in the shop. Slow going but I finally got off my butt a couple months ago. I am just behind you. Motor box and fuse sides done. Getting ready to start boxing it up. I came up with some cool jigs and tools for locating the wing and stab tube holes as well as beveling the...

    3D Demystifying Vacuum Bagging of foam wings!!

    Great thread on bagging, Terry. I have a quick question about the router bit that you used in your spar video. I have a hand router and 1/4" flush cut bit but I am having a hard time finding one with the collar on the top side. Could you point me in the right direction to find the setup you are...

    Looking good ROLLERMAN. Question: The notches in the squares that you used for clamping. Did they come that way or did you customize them? Keep up the great work!! JB

    JR 921 receivers

    Try flipping one of the servo plugs. Polarity might be reversed.

    Sport Custom Stik

    Nice. I always loved the Stiks. Model Tech had a good one and the Big Stik was always a blast to fly.

    Club flying contest?

    We did a variation of what KG mentioned. We called it roll-roll-roll. You roll a pair of dice. The number that you land on is your point. You fire your plane up take off and perform either 3 rolls, 3 circles, 3 loops, or any combination of 3 of these. Then you land and start rolling the dice...

    It's about time to ask... What Can We Do Better!

    Hey Sleepy the site is looking great. You guys should be proud. It takes a lot of work to get a machine like this running smooth. The one thing I would like to see is a pane with the recent posts on the home page. I know this is an old idea but it make keeping up with threads much easier. Just...

    Flyzone L-39: the 90+ mph “no-sweat” jet!

    Here is a video of one of these that I built while flying on the Hoffman Magnetics team. We had these on radar in the mid 130's with 4 of us flying in close formation. I still have a couple of these motors and fans laying around. I might have to build another. We did quite a bit of carbon work...

    Who makes this plane?

    The wings on the plane below look closer to me. It is the Challenger III 2.2 meter from EMHW. But the models look more like the 2.68 meter size. JB 17629=11913-Capture.JPG]
