    Run It or Send it to DA?

    The problem is, everyone is so damned concerned about keeping a DA engine at the stock needle settings. You have to tune the carb for YOUR location. Those that say stock needle settings are what they use and the engine runs great there, they are full of it. In a transition.... If the engine...

    Fuel proof sealant

    Right here.... We brought these in originally. Then everyone else wanted them for themselves. http://www.taildraggerrc.com/rtf-fuel-tanks/ Chad found the source, and then others copied the tank. But, Herve went to Chad, like a true businessman, and wanted to buy tanks to be installed in all...

    3D When is a plane used up?

    Heat gun has no use for me on fully sheeted surfaces. Its a good foam melter, if anything. And to shrink heat shrink tubing. All my MonoKote jobs I have done, and repaired, have no bubbles, lifts, etc..... UltraCote is a very different story. I use a heat gun very sparingly on open bay...

    Fuel proof sealant

    I've put HondaBond on tanks, and it works well, for a sealer. I've tried everything but seal all. Pick your poison.

    If you had $1000.00 to spend on a charger and power supply, what would you buy?

    Or, you can buy a duo charger to avoid parallel charging, altogether. Packs don't instantly balance out to each other. It takes several minutes to an hour to equalize the packs. Who has the time to wait for packs to equalize. I certainly don't, especially when I'm in the mood to fly 700...

    If you had $1000.00 to spend on a charger and power supply, what would you buy?

    Parallel charging doesnt make them go out of balance. You are actually able to charge faster, in a sense. But it is the discharge that does. The amount discharged, or amount remaining has alot to do with it as well. You can take 2 3S packs, for simplistic sake, 1 pack can be 11.5V, and the...

    If you had $1000.00 to spend on a charger and power supply, what would you buy?

    Mike, keep this in the back of your head when you parallel charge. When you have a cell degrading or out of balance, you wont see it. I spent several hours with 8 6S packs that my pops has, they were severely out of balance, because he parallel charged all the time. Once a month or dependent...

    If you had $1000.00 to spend on a charger and power supply, what would you buy?

    I went with 2 Dell (AA 23300, I think....)server supplies, 47A, 1150W of power and wired in series for 24Vdc output. I am using 2 iChargers, a 308 and a 406. They do more than I need them to do. I'd like to upgrade my supplies to 2000W at 24Vdc.

    17DEC2015, AMA Says DO NOT REGISTER.........yet

    Which is EXACTLY why noone should register. You said it in your first 2 lines..... The FAA is sneakingly changing rules as they go.

    17DEC2015, AMA Says DO NOT REGISTER.........yet

    Whatever y'all do, do not register until the AMA says what to do. I have a feeling that things are happening behind the scenes that none of us are aware of. Anyone that registers, may just be hurting us in a fight against the FAA.

    So what do you drive ? Show it up .........

    I'm sporting a 2014 F150 with a V6. Nothing fancy, just something to cruise the highways with, pulling my trailer. I'm selling off my 2000 Sunfire with 220K hwy miles on it, for a different daily driver. Looking at a sports car, considering I have never owned one. Looking not another new...

    Are you going to register with the FAA? Cast Your Vote!

    Has any/everyone emailed the VP of their District yet? Maybe even CC AMA Pres. This is completely out of hand, it sickens me to no end, that the FAA has to govern us, the abiding members of their organization. Does anyone think that this will discourage John Q. Dronepilot from flying his...
